Comments Thread For: Carl Froch Hits Back at Tyson Fury: You're Taking The Money Instead of Being Full of Pride For The Sport

Yeah but boxers calling out other boxers for paydays is all good.

Fury on the other hand is currently fighting a guy who isn't even the best at striking in MMA and actually had to resort to wrestling when he's a laughably bad wrestler against a somewhat decent striker to win.

Which not only doesn't bode well for him but shows how low Fury is willing to sink for a marginal bump in payday and to fight weak opposition over real opposition...

Rather than fighting the real fights we all want to see, he can fight the clown shows after he's proven he's the best of his era/retired.

He shouldn't be doing so whilst he's a currently reigning champion it makes him a laughingstock as well as the sport and holds up the division for real competitors.

Let’s agree to disagree. Just know, EVERY SINGLE FIGHTER IS CHASING PAYDAYS, NOT BELTS. I’m certain 95% of fighters would do the same given the opportunity.

Absolutely.

But Fury has their incompetence to thank for his career.

The transgression was considered worthy of a 2 year ban. He had elevated levels of nandrolone in his system. That's serious!

He should have been banned prior to the Klitschko fight. And even if you allow for a farcical lengthy UKAD process, his retrospective ban should have at least made that fight ineligible, rather than taking effect from 10 months after the test and a couple of weeks after the Wlad fight.

His career has been built on a drugs travesty. A technicality might mean it stays in the record books, but it's very heavily tainted.

The problem is they were clean in every test before and subsequent to the initial test, so it really does seem like it was a legitimate case of eating wild boar or they had their shít contaminated.

And in fact it seems they just came to a compromise based on sports integrity - "In recognition of the counter-arguments and the risks inherent in the dispute resolution process, each of UKAD and the Respondents (together, the Parties) recognises that it/he will have to compromise its/his claims to some degree. In accordance with UK ADR Article 7.7.4 and section 51 of the Arbitration Act 1996, at the request of the parties the NADP Tribunal has issued an order terminating the proceedings before it without making any substantive award."

The truth is UKAD was going to go broke trying to prove the Furies were taking anything KNOWINGLY and HAD to compromise due to their own incompetence.

As for his career being built on a drugs travesty hardly, most people don't even know he was banned, in fact most people buy his story about mental health that just so happens to magically become mangable when his "ban" is lifted, quite coincidental if i do say so myself.

Wasn’t Froch open to fighting Jake Paul just a few months ago?

I was thinking the same thing. Its funny how EVERYONE is against these novelty fights until they get a call from the right person.
