Tyson Fury

Lenny Rider · Nov 15, 2015

Just watched the Gloves Are Off special on Sky Sports, with less than a fortnight to go still can't really work Fury out.
Either
a) He is the new Ali, and will back up all the talk by winning the World Title in Düsseldorf and go on to become one the most famous British sporting figures of all time
Or
b) He's not the full ticket, and is actually being exploited and being put in a place which finds him way out of his depth and ultimately he could end up getting seriously hurt.

The upshot is the hype has worked because I will pay to watch this fight, but still can't call the result.

And there you have it......Tyson Fury is good at hyping up his fights.

But while he talks about smashing people to pieces his actual style these days is much like Klitchsko - cautious, racking up the points and using his reach.

I'd imagine we'll get a slow, messy fight where the rounds drag by. Fury has a chance if age catches up with Klitchsko. Don't expect fireworks for your £20 though

Why do you think he is being exploited? He has been made more rabid by all the postponements, but all his talk is excruciatingly dull. He has none of the victories to back up his claims, and has never fought anyone of the physical stature and ability of Vlad. He would lose to AJ now so this fight is really about as interesting as Chisora's against Vit.

Oliver Holt (The son of Emily Bishop no less) asked in the Daily Mail the other day if Fury was actually mentally stable enough to be going into the ring?

A pretty bold question to ask, and if correct, he shouldn't be getting into the ring therefore you could further question if he's being exploited?

What nonsense. Fury knows exactly what he's doing and is in fact one of the most honest fighters you will find. Watch his Youtube IFL interviews. He just has great self belief and gypsy fighting spirit. He's also actually a bloody good boxer which many people overlook because of his talk. He could have gone down the Wilder route (which he'd have won) but wants to try and make his name as the man who beat the best so big credit to him for wanting to take on Klit. Whatever happens he's making a shed load of cash.

Hopefully he's still got his faculties intact to spend it.

I liked Fury until his recent outburst about Homosexuals being comparable to Paedophiles.

The first time I have wanted a Brit to get hammered.and well beaten

Ernest · Nov 15, 2015

I've been in the BIG mans corner since he started and all you lot told me that Price was the FUTURE now you're saying Joshua is, wait till the 28th and we HEAR 'the NEWWWWWWWWWWWW ........'

BensGrandad · Nov 15, 2015

I really hope that you are wrong. For him to win would be an insult to the reputation of past champions like Lennox Lewis. George Foreman etc.

Behave yourself, what about Mike Tyson's reputation ?

Why wouldn't he. He's the toughest opponent Klitshko has fought in years. In fact there is no way Vlad would have taken the fight if Tyson hadn't been mandatory because he prefers to pick easy small heavyweights that pose no risk to his style.

His reputation was bad for boxing and Furys will do the same.

"In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, Fury spoke of homosexuality, abortion and paedophilia, and also alleged that Klitschko is a devil-worshipper who practises witchcraft, saying: "There are only three things that need to be accomplished before the devil comes home: one of them is homosexuality being legal in countries, one of them is abortion and the other one's paedophilia."

Maybe he is mentally unfit? Certainly a bit thick.

Herr Tubthumper · Nov 28, 2015

I know **** all about boxing but this match up seems quite comical. Flabby Fury surely hasn't got a hope in hell?

¡Cereal Killer! · Nov 28, 2015

Fury threatening to pull out of fight because the canvas in the ring is too soft....
