Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: I Just Sometimes Look In The Mirror And Think I'm An Absolute Genius

[turnedup]

He appeals to the low attention span social media generation.

I recently remarked to a friend that we have left the era of the public intellectual and entered the era of the public edgelord.

You nailed it, just watching folks who defend him screams “former wrestling fan” like a muthafugga. can’t believe folks tried calling this dude charismatic. He’s a wanna be wrestler overgrown child who doped in his rise to the top, got caught and folks continue to defend him.

[turnedup]

That's because he didn't hit the deck very often. Characterising criticism of Fury as "blind hate" is the stuff of fanboys. Boxing fans (as opposed to hero worshippers) just want to see him fight a proper heavyweight campaign.

Anyone who defends a drug cheat in this sport is telling you loud and clear they don’t care for facts. Folks will change usernames around here but their hypocrisy never does. The coverup he did for his failed test should’ve been enough to ban him for life.

Boxing is about taking tough fights when you have to and taking easy fights for a big money when you can afford to.

Only gatekeepers are taking tough fights all the time , because they have to. That is why are gatekeepers so important for boxing.

Fury is doing what are all other elite guys doing. The all are taking easy fights for a big money, if they can.

I dont get where the money is coming from, is it all fury fans who just want to see him obliterate some MMA chump? or is it all MMA stands who really think Ngannou has a chance here? I dont get how a fight with known outcome sells so well.

And where did the money for Mayweather - McGregor come from?

Fury taking the hater trolling to a new level. When he gave this quote you can be 100% sure he was thinking about the fans and how it would cause his detractors to want to buy the Ngannou fight in case he gets caught with a big shot.

Other posters are right when they say if we had more fighters like Fury, the sport would still be massive. You've got Canelo fighting a guy two weight classes below him, who stopped by to pick up the check. You've got all the fighters taking no risk fights these days.....save Bud and Inoue, who along with Fury and youtube personalities are propping up a dying sport.

Fury signed to fight Usyk for the Saudi money, as myself and others said would happen last year. But still.....all the Fury is scared, Fury is a ducker, I can't stand Fury posters continuously drone on and on. AJ could have fought him last year, as well as Ruiz. They said no.

I think that era ended along time ago...unfortunately!

Even since he developed that story about drug induced, mentally deranged manic depressive episode's causing himself to not be able to climb off the canvas of life and back into the ring ............... well yes it has been more then a few months of Baloney Skins coming out of Tyson's mouth and the mouth of all that promote him and support him. He has done nothing for boxing but make himself a lot of money and his promo boys a boat load of money for years now. i give him credit for the carnival act, the way he sells schitt as sunshine and lies as the truth. But he is nothing but an act a cheap over hyped act pretending to be something he is not........ And i give him much credit for his loyalty to himself and money what a guy from his phony name to his big fat ........yea cant wait for him ruin himself after the lights go out in the ring......

"...cant wait for him ruin himself after the lights go out in the ring..." The guy goes in there, risks his life, and because he's more showy than most boxers, you wish him a torturous life. And this man has a wife and kids. He's just been fortunate enough to be successful at what we call pursuing the American dream here in the States. And for that... your jealousy has switched into overdrive. And BTW, clinical depression IS an actual thing... whether you believe it is or not.

Isn't it wild that Brits can watch this on PPV for around $26.50 U.S. $$...
while we serfs here in the States will pay 80 $$.

Lmfao...I wonder why

He’s not a genius, he’s a gypsy and gypsies are born with an innate desire to fight and to rob people. He is exceptional at both.
