Tyson Fury on R2 today.

[smudge]

I just find him to be a complete tool & look forward to the day he gets knocked the fvck out, preferably by Joshua. Now that I would pay to see, so ironically he is good for boxing, in a way.
He got lucky, his day will come, but he'll make money because a lot of people want to see him get beat up. Age old story of boxing.
You could say he's being clever, following the Joe Bugner style, but he ain't that clever, just a thick gob shite who got lucky.

Boxing though, bit like football, we all have our opinions!

Agree with all of this.

I didn't realise he was at it again today.

He can't help himself. He's easy prey for a journalist; they just turn up for the interview and hand him a big shovel.

SHOCK HORROR ……bloke who is basically an Irish Traveller spouts views on women and religion which are openly held views by the majority of Irish Travellers.

where were the offended and petitions and the righteous indignation a couple of weeks ago when these views were still prevalent amongst thousands ?

Much easier to single out one bloke for a witch hunt before moving on to the next witch hunt cause in a few weeks time that they also don’t really give a toss about, but like to appear "right on" about.

I don't think any of us are shocked and I'm certainly not offended. More embarrassed by him.

Spot on, came across as faintly ridiculous to me, and of course those who hold those rather extreme Christian views on homosexuality are an easy target for ridicule because the vast majority of Christianity and the population at large have moved on from there. There is of course a major religion where the vast majority hold exactly the same views on homosexuality and women, but we've been manoeuvered into a situation where we aren't allowed to talk about, or criticise this because otherwise we will be persecuting them

Good sportsman in thick-as-pigshit shocker

NSC (along with you) broadly have his number....a complete bore of a man .
My little hissy fit was aimed at those outside of NSC who are clueless twits.

but good for you for feeling guilty,and laying out the victim card so early

Guilty? Not for the first time I'll enquire as to what you are on about?

It is indeed madness and very odd when the majority in this country who are capable of moving progressively forward over time on issues such as homosexuality and misogyny are encouraged to stay quiet by our so called leaders and must not under any circumstances criticise a minority that hold these outdated views as sacrosanct.

The football league might finally be the right way up but common sense is upside down.

I get the feeling though people are waking up to the fact this attitude is mental.And the shouty minority that scream "thats racist.....so shut up" are thankfully finally on borrowed time

why the need to respond to a post not aimed at you like this

Joshua a boring idiot ?Why ? And give him a liitle bit more experience and he'll destroy fury, thats if he wouldnt now.

Boring and manufactured. He fact he's no 2 in one of the divisions is laughable considering who he's (not) fought. Totally being fast tracked for Eddie Hearns wallet and I can't wait to see him on his arse once one lands on his chin. No chance he'd beat Fury now, in fact I even fancy Whyte to cause an upset Saturday.

I'm no expert but to a boxing layman like me, flabby Fury has taken advantage of a dearth in quality. If someone half decent comes along it's lights out. I hope this Joshua chap does it as he seems a decent bloke.

Agreed. Although I think Joshua needs a few more miles on the clock yet, he's a class above

Whatever your opinion of Joshua I'd give the 'boring' epithet a rest right there. Fury / Klitschko has to be one of the dullest "fights" in living memory. There were better scraps in my school playground.

[Iggle Piggle]

Boring

Didn't Joshua get done for drug dealing? That kind of thing is I'd imagine anything but dull. Besides which Joshua is exactly the kind of boxer that the heavyweight division needs. Someone who can take people out rather than dance around for 12 rounds landing the odd jab. Watching some of Mike Tyson's early fights shows that off nicely. I think he won his Olympic final or semi final in about 8 seconds. The amount of power he had was frightening. Whilst Joshua isn't in that league by a long way, he is the first fighter in a long while to remind me of Mike Tyson in his youth.

That said, PPV for the Whyte fight is laughable.

He received an MBE for winning a gold medal a the Olymics before being caught drug dealing. Idiot rather than dull.

But hey, Antony Joshua is obviously the better role model because he hasn't mentioned any Religious shite.

It seems your logic in defending Fury is that others have done worse......and that's with me skipping from page one straight page 8 of this thread.
