Why Do Irish Fighters Historically Suck?

[Butt stuff]

Tyson Fury (Boxing)
Conor McTapper (MMA)
Arthur Shelby (Bare knuckle)
Blow Job Saunders (Hospital)

I think good history.

[deathofaclown]

Fury is English cvnt.

He did win an Irish heavyweight title and represented Ireland as an amateur a few times

he meddled at the world juniors representing Ireland

his mother is from Northern Ireland

Always talking a big game, but they never produce anything big. Why is this?

- - Historically Irish fighters dominated at the turn of the 20th Century.

Only sucking coming out of U big modern mouth. When U gonna be old enough for strained?

I would not claim fighters like Tyson Fury or Mathew Macklin as Irish.

Where did Fury grow up? Tyson Fury is English of Irish decent 'He has some Irish in him'.

From interviews I have seen with Fury, he speaks with a more British attitude. He has lately compared himself to a B2 Lancaster Bomber.

I think Fury winning the Irish Heavyweight title was a tactical move. A bit like the way it was for Lennox Lewis coming back to England, and ****ing on about supporting West Ham.

Tyson Fury is English of Irish decent.

You can tell how sh i t irish boxing is when they have to claim a manchester born and bred gyppo as one of their own.

Strange how many idiots can't get their heads around ancestry, heritage and lineage. Tyson Fury is of Irish descent, and Canelo's mother likely had an affair with an Irishman. If a bloodline can be traced back to Ireland, then that makes a person Irish, phaggots.

Does Tyson Fury have a Irish Accent?

Tyson Fury is english of Irish decent 'He has some Irish in him'.

Where did Tyson Fury grow up?

I doubt people in Ireland support him, the same way they used to support Steve Collins or Barry Mcguigan.
