All of Fury's problems are self-inflicted. Steroids, drugs, alcohol.
Rocky toiled in obscurity until he was nearly 30, fighting without a trainer, manager, promoter, or even a decent place to live. Then after he finally made it he faced the deaths of his trainer/mentor (Mickey), best friend/rival (Apollo Creed), wife (Adrian), second trainer (Tony Duke Evers), and finally his lifelong friend/brother-in-law (Paulie Pennino). Not to mention he went broke, received brain/eye damage, beat cancer, overcame a learning disability, etc.
Rocky was juiced to the gills from 3 onwards, he just didn't get popped because of the knowledge of roid head bum Creed and his team.
Fury > Balboa
Well Stalone certainly was.
Hollywood has the best PEDs
Ok, I have lots of love for Fury, but in twenty years, will he agree to come back to the ring to help train Wilder's long-lost and emotionally-conflicted illegitimate son to become a HW champion?
Actually, thinking about it - yeah, I can picture Fury doing that, too.
If there is one active boxer who they should make a movie out of, it’s definitely Fury...
Nobody wants to watch no fkin movie with Terrance Crawford or Mikey Garcia.
was rocky on drugs and caught with peds?

You know for a fact that thousands of people would now be dead without Fury's mental health work? It was only a few years ago he did that work and the most likely life he saved was his own. I doubt he found some life saving cure. He is a good man not a saint.
I didn't call him a saint? I don't think anyone can deny that he's doing important work, do you realise how many people are suffering & end up killing themselves? Tyson's story has inspired so many people, have a look on social media or YouTube if you don't believe me. Start with the comments on this video.

He's also helped to save thousands of lives with his mental health work.
They'll defo be a movie made about him.You know for a fact that thousands of people would now be dead without Fury's mental health work? It was only a few years ago he did that work and the most likely life he saved was his own. I doubt he found some life saving cure. He is a good man not a saint.
I sure it is coming.
The Tyson Fury story, the real life tale more epic than the famed Stalone's Rocky story.
The Gypsy background, his father being locked up, being the underdog, his wife, beating the the long reigning champ, the fall, drugs, the training montage and getting back into shape to face the most fierce puncher every, the robbery, the 12 round KD and beating the count only to get robbed, getting rid of his friend and trainer, the rematch and the demolition job.
Far greater than the Rocky story IMO
To me, no. Depression is real, and his story is a fantastic one, but the sheer fact that in Rocky, he was less than a club fighter and got to fight the undisputed for a title, and he made it a war, was epic. There was no kind of monumental opportunity and also mismatch like this in Furys story. He was the champ beforehand, for many of us remained champ even in hiatus, and when he returned, a few of us were telling everyone he would take over the division again.
Fury would make a great movie and surely will be, but Rocky for the reasons I mentioned above is just less possible and likely and for that, epic.
I voted for Fury's story because it is real. A movie hero can do anything the movie maker wants him to do. It's much harder in real life.The Rocky movies are silly and unrealistic and unbelievable. Tyson's story is far more interesting to me.
I sure it is coming.

Sounds like an awesome story man, crazy when you think these are things he actually went through and did.
