    Has a cherry pick like Fury made ever go as bad as that?


    Tyson Fury: I Just Sometimes Look In The Mirror And Think I’m An Absolute Genius

    Hahahaha, yeah Fury looked really smart getting dropped and losing to a debutant mma fighter

    Fury: I will go toe to toe

    He was holding more then punching and even a picture perfect elbow couldn’t turn the tide

    Fury: I am the biggest puncher in the heavyweight division

    Hahahaha, Francis was eating those power puff punches like organic pop corn, and left the fight without a mark on his face while Fury went to the emergency room

    Humble pie never tasted so good,

    Zhang vs Joyce was the worst cherry pick gone wrong.


    Joyce had to fought him twice and got bashed twice. 2nd time in a KO of the year that will live forever in highlight reeels

      Not even close to Wilder turning down 120 million from DAZN thinking Fury was 400 PED drug burnout who twisted his ankle jumping a fence at a carnival.

        I think everyone saw that as a good fight, not a cherry pick.

        In terms of genuine cherry picks you've got Buster Douglas for Mike Tyson. And Michael Bentt for Tommy Morrison. Both were easy tune ups with big paydays signed up.

        I don't think either compare to choosing to fight a 37 year old debutant though. And getting thoroughly embarrassed.

          IIRC, Buster wasn’t a “tune up” he was a mandatory that had to be taken care of prior to the Holyfield fight

            Aside from cherry picking or else, what transpired from this fight is that Fury's figure - with his bewildered face, his ass almost coming out of those trunks, and his constant pulling up of said trunks - looked beyond pathetic.

              I thought Holyfield was the upcoming mandatory?

              Long time ago and I was pretty young so apologies if I've got that wrong.

                it was a cherry-pick. Zhang was over 40 and was a -1600 dog


                same odds as Fury vs Ngannou btw


                nobody thought Zhang was going to win

                  You are correct, although Douglas was ranked by all sanctioning bodies.
