He's a proper fighting man so if you get in a ring with him you are having a bad time. There's a referee there to govern it.

As I keep saying, if you get in the ring with a man KNOWING what he's gonna do and you let him do it, it's your fault..

As Andre Ward says, if someone tries to rough you up, do it back, it’s up to the referee to stop it, not you.

Tyson knows all the little tricks they don't teach you in gyms I bet passed down to him from generations of bare buckle fighters I bet. Little skills and tricks that his opponents have not encountered and don't know what fury doing as it's sometimes subtle and ref probably misses.

Well you do pick them up in old school gyms where Fury always went around when he was young. Like when he went to the Kronk gym with no notice, just a bag on his back when he was about 21. Fighters like that go around these gyms and learn the old school tricks.

You don’t learn them in the sports institute where the Team GB lot like AJ come from.

True, so i d say fury knows what he's doing in that ring and given himself best chance to win and isn't dirty

He isn't dirty. He just plays a little rough.

Being dirty is boxing using headbutts, elbows, forearms and deliberately hitting below the belt.

Fury was almost beaten by Wallin when he deliberately stuck the nut on him and forced him to fight 9 rounds with one eye. THAT was dirty.

No - inside fighting just deteriorated around him.

Most of the guys who were early believers of his would cite this when saying he would be the next HW champ - he isn't James Toney in there at all, but just comparing it out ot the rest of the guys around him at the time, he definitely had the edge in that regard...fluidity.

I guess he got known for being a mover for a while but that's not where the edge really lies.. How could it be, no matter how slick he is, he is still a big ass target...he can only make himself so small. Now the inside work and "dirtyness" is reappearing though and people can see how much he has.

Professional prize fighting has dirt in it. Its part of the sport. Some guys go too far, then it is a problem.
