I think that’s fairly obvious. I’m just saying if Wilder only wanted the step aside money, he would have approached Hearn as well as Fury’s team to make sure it went through.

Agreed. I doubt Fury would avoid anyone, but his promotors don’t have the best relationship with Hearn and I think they’re scared of his growing influence on the sport. They saw it as a chance to string him along and make him look bad, but they’re the ones who have come out of it worse.

I think Eddie Hearn has been keeping AJ away from fury to build up the brand because he thinks fury will beat him, he's the better boxer and if Joshua can't land he is limited. I've always said a prime Bruno would beat Joshua who has poor lateral movement, Bruno's stiff jab would never be out of his face and Joshua is vulnerable to a big overhand right which Bruno had.
They thought Hearn wasn't gonna be able to get the fight agreed and he showed them both up. Then Fury wilder agreed in like 5 mins. Bricktop and Bob need to step down now tbh.
By Eddie making the AJ fury fight ? Prime Bruno lost to a lot worse...

I think they also see it as a 50-50 fight so would like a 2 or 3 fight deal as the last fights of his career to minimise any risk to earnings potential.

Anyone that thinks prime Bruno would beat prime AJ should be ignored. Can't believe I'm having to respond to this nonsense, I suspect it's someone being subjective and bias againt AJ (probably due to politics) more than any actual thought, but here we go.
Bruno got beat up pretty much every time he fought a top 10 boxer, AJ has beaten multiple top 10 boxers. Comparing AJ, a two times champion, holding 3 titles which he collected from 3 individual champions, with 7 title defences, with an olympic gold medal, a win against a true legend of the sport, 8 wins against top ten opponents, 88% KO ratio and won a title in just his 16th pro fight, challenged for a title 4 times and won the title 4 times....compared to Bruno, KO'd 5 times, whose career win was against the limited and lucky to be champ Oliver McColl, never made a defence, lost 4 out of 5 title fights, it took him 44 fights and a whole lot of luck (Tyson's prison sentence, McColl's lucky punch vs Lewis) to actually win the title.
The biggest comparison is that at that 16th fight mark, AJ had beaten a legend in Klitschko and beat Chaz Martin for the title....Bruno at that same point beat a guy called Barry Funches who had more defeats than wins and had only fought one non-domestic boxer.
Bruno never beat a boxer who was coming to fight him unbeaten, in fact his opponents were picked to fight him because they had been largely proven to be KO-able. The only two unbeaten boxers he fought were Lewis and Tyson and both KO'd Bruno. AJ has beaten 6 people that were undefeated, that's every fourth fight he beats someone up who has never lost.
Their careers are chalk and cheese. Bruno was an excellent domestic champion but always too slow, clumsy and chinny once he stepped up to the world stage. He never proved he should be at that level and took a few absolute beatings. AJ has proven himself without any contention to be in the top 3, some would rightly claim top, he has beaten everyone he has faced and has put everyone on the floor everyone except Parker.
Honestly, anyone that thinks that Bruno would beat AJ needs to have a serious look at themselves in the mirror and ask where they went wrong with their life....and I say all this as someone that got a lot of joy out of watching Bruno's career.

He would still beat Joshua, I think it's 50/50 wilder would beat him, honestly you need to read back your posts and course on self awareness.

He did, then gave him a boxing lesson. I guess you aren't going to be as daft to claim that Bruno would beat him.....he still got beat up by a fat Mexican

This is the same Boromart that claimed Wilder would get knocked out in every one of his fights. Except the one he actually was.

...I didn't say you were expressing is as 'fact', not sure why you think that. What happened was that I mocked your complete lack of insight into why you think that way. I suspect it is more that you 'feel' that opinion rather than 'think' it based on a political agenda.I'm offering opinion not fact, so are you,try not to get them mixed up good chap.
I've expressed why, they have totally different track records, AJ is proven at elite level, Bruno wasn't. He was a puncher but he failed to trouble top heavyweights with his power. AJ has put everyone but parker on the seat of their pants.
So please, feel free to give your insight into why Bruno's record of abject failure against top ten boxers makes you feel he would defeat the current world champ....this should be good.

It's amusing that you lot have to make stuff up. Playing the man not the ball is the behaviour of people of limited ability.

I remember when he said Breazeale would smash his face in and knock Wilder out. Suppose he might have done if he lasted more than a couple of minutes.
