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

[Godsfly]

I blame American boxing fans. The British are off the hook with this one which is why no one is flaming them but the americans are absolutely out of control and went borderline drooling remedial for fury. The British have always said that fury is a cheat, his work ethic is terrible, he fights down to his comp and he would do anything to trick the system. If he feels a fighter is a threat fury simply won't fight them or prolong the fight. The american boxing fans should be absolutely embarrassed.....they were placing fury even above fighters like ali Lewis and holyfiel. They were fighting for fury to be on the pfp list above crawford and Naoya lolol anericans went full tard for fury.....most of furys fans came from Vermont or Maine.

This is the worst cherry pick gone wrong, it’s not even close.

Ngannou landing a meaningful punch would have you got you laughed off the forum this time yesterday, never mind arguably winning on points.

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

Really? I was looking forward to it being a good fight. I recall most posts on here being along the same lines.

Yeah good point, this is probably the biggest cherry-pick I’ve seen blow up. Only thing that ruined a historic night was Ngannou not getting his deserved win.

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,

I seem to recall a fellow by the name of Canelo
Ahh poetry

I relished in that moment also, but Bivol is an actual boxer, and a damn good one at that

I don’t believe I have ever seen something backfiring as bad as this

It’s really quite amazing

Wilder cherry picking Fury after seeing him look completely shot against Seferi and Pianetta was almost as big of a back fire.

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

Please tell me you're joking here!

Everybody who knows anything at all about the current HW division was shocked when Joyce decided to risk his WBO mandatory position by fighting a dangerous opponent like Zhang instead of playing it safe and biding his time.

Not even close to the same thing. Nice try though.

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

Yeah he just beat berberic and mccall too. He wasnt a complete bum like people try to portray, its just that the odds were crazy for tyson, 30-1 or whatever because this was Tyson in his prime who was obliterating everyone, I mean tyson would have been a huge betting favorite over holyfield as well if that fight got made before prison when he was undefeated.

Buster was a legit contender who earned his shot, Tyson had ran through most everyone in the division.

Ok, how about this ... Deontay wanted to fight the absolute best in the HW division, so when he saw Fury looking sensational in his comeback fights against Seferi and Pianetta he decided to sign a 2 fight deal with Tyson instead of unifying with AJ.

Is that better for you?
