Did You Know Tyson Fury Would Become a Star

[SN!PER]

I picked Fury for the upset against Klitschko because Wlad hadn't looked good against Jennings and I knew Fury was a much better fighter than Jennings.

When Fury rose up off the canvas in Wilder 1 it scared the hell out of me. I remember thinking, there's something very weird about this guy. No human should be able to do that. Plus, it happened in round 12 when Fury's energy was at its lowest point. He looked as if he could've continued fighting for 15 rounds or even 20 rounds if they let him.

Wilder 2, not gonna lie this was so one-sided that I thought something foul happened. Nobody had ever done that to Wilder in 40 fights and there were a lot of rumors and videos circulating at the time.

Wilder 3, I had watched all the training videos and followed Deontay's progress leading up to this fight. Never saw him work so hard, never saw him so motivated in all his years in the game. The weight/ muscle gain was a mistake, but mentally he was determined as hell to win and Fury's victory that night convinced me he's the #1 of the division and will stay there for a long time.

- - Ducked the rematch after revealed he on notorious steroids before the Wlad bout. Came back during the ascension of AJ where he had to flee to the US with mob help to avoid AJ selling out stadiums while he was lucky if 5000 fans showed up.

Still ducking AJ and Usyk.

What grade was U in then?

NOBODY EVER IN HW HISTORY HAS WON EVERY BELT IN BOXING
ONLY THE GREATEST EVER UNBEATABLE NO.1 ALLTIME FURY

Undefeated King Fury flattens everyone in history obviously.

I didn't expect him to be big as he is today but I probably saw the potential much earlier than others on the forums. Fury was bit of a laughing stock early in his career after uppercutting himself against I forgot who but I believe it was the McDermott fight that opened my eyes. I wish I could find the stub but when the first Chisora fight got announced, I just knew I had to bet on Fury. I forgot what gave me the assurance but I felt very confident about a Tyson victory so I placed a few hundred on him. Instant fan after that fight.

Fury is a fascinating fighter and i dont see anybody beating him for awhile.

[PRINCEKOOL]

I picked Fury to beat Wilder in the rematch, and continually stated that he will fight similar to when he fought USS Cunningham 'Tactics'.

I came to this decision after watching a interview he did with Gareth A.Davies just before the fight. Fury explained that he had changed his training, and was moving more away from his former Riddler style 'Fury explained this in his own words, but I deciphered the information'.

I was neutral on the third Wilder fight, but was backing Wilder to win.

Whyte and Chisora fights don't matter, because they were not even world level fights.

I was neutral when Fury fought Kiltschko. I just knew that although Fury was mocked at that time by certain folk in the boxing world.

Fury for a very long time had been obsessed with this challenge, Fury was not just content with getting a title fight.

The fight was underwhelming, but nevertheless displayed that Fury had a top level dimension to his game.

Overall Fury has always been a slightly clumsy super heavyweight, who can fight in all area's. And I still think he is a clumsy Heavyweight, who always seems to be on the edge of technical calamity.

Fury is a complete fighter, in the sense that he will give it a go in all area's. Inside game, mid range game, long range game and rough house tactics.

Fury best asset is nothing technically. His best attribute for me is that he is a big time performer. Just like Joe Calzaghe, Fury has won all his biggest fights first time of asking 'Fury has a good clutch game'.

The Wilder fight was a draw, but that was still a good performance considering he went from fighting around domestic level to a world title fight 'After having time out of the game'.

But understand that I have never valued that fight as Fury win, you don't win world titles by being backed up all night and decked twice etc.

Blame Wilder, Finkle and Haymon. They really thought the dude was cake. Naw, I thought he'd fade into nothing after the drugs and twisting his ankle jumping fence at carnival weighting 400 lbs.

[5G14L90]

Yes. To me it was apparent he was most skilled dating back to 2014. Knew he would beat Wlad, It’s a shame him and AJ will never get it on.

[QueensburyRules]

I know 1 person in boxing who for sure did. Emmanuel Steward. There is a video of him around 2011 stating that Tyson Fury will be the next dominant heavyweight after Wlad. He also mentions Wilder and that those 2 will be future top dogs of the division.

Wasn't wrong just didn't live to see it. Crazy how it's his nephew that is now Furys trainer

- - 'cept AJ and Usyk been top dogs.

Deyonce and Blubber the low hanging fruit the rest of the heavy division been hot after the easiest title.

[QueensburyRules]

Klitschko fight made him a champion.

1st Wilder fight made him a star.

- - Wlad fight exposed Blubber as drug cheat and quitter of their rematch when he melted like as Deyonce snowcone on a hot summer sidewalk.

No surprise that soft lads like other soft lads.

[Pac=Duran]

I didn’t expect it. My introduction to Fury was when he accidentally uppercutted himself years ago

manny is another guy who uppercutted himself and became a star

dont underestimate guys who uppercut themselves

Absolutely not lol. Everyone in the UK thought he was a total joke for the longest time. Haye swerved him twice though, which derailed his career big time. He would have destroyed Haye.

[real raw]

i thought he was going to be a nut job, basket case. honestly
