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

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.

This spectacle is a joke. Fury is good at making money but lets not call this a fight. Sure he'll win but then again he'd get destroyed in minutes if they fought in the octagon under MMA rules. Makes as much sense as having a world class golfer have a tennis match with a world class tennis player and wonder who's going to win! This is WWE crap nothing more. At least both performers will get paid I guess

Fury is a genius and he has a right to brag. Him getting 60 million for a fight he has a 99% chance to win, is like me getting paid half a million to fight a 12 year old in a wheel chair, why wouldnt you do it.

her dad would kick your ass after

True. But when, say, Mike Tyson and his charisma were around, he fought often and (mostly) against credible opponents. Aside from Wilder, Fury has fought nobody worthy of being remembered, not to mention farcical stuff like Seferi, Chisora III and this upcoming turd of a "fight".

I really can't stop laughing at this. Go on then, who was Mike's best win? How many HOF's did he fight? How many World beltholders? I mean the guy was pure entertainment and I loved watching his fights, but come on.

I wrote "(mostly) credible opponents". Who talked about HOF's? We were talking about the charismatic aspects of the two, principally.

Then again, even if Tyson underachieved - and he surely did, given his potential - his resume comprises more serious opponents than Fury's for sure. Would you compare, say, Tyrell Biggs or Razor Ruddock to Sefer Seferi or a shot Dereck Chisora?

The Saudis are prepared to make a loss, this isn't about them making money. Have you not worked that out yet?

Mike Tyson established himself as easily the best heavyweight in the world in a short and explosive period of time. The way he demolished HoFs Holmes and Spinks, even if they were faded, was impressive. He put together a more serious campaign than Fury with minimal fuss.

Some people seem to like Fury's antics, I don't pay it any attention. I'm only interested if he's actually going to fight someone good.

Absolutely. I responded to the other poster with a degree of analysis, but I wouldn't even compare the two on a mere boxing basis.

And, while we're at it, Holmes was indeed faded in 1988, but Michael Spinks was not. Several experts had picked him to defeat Tyson.
