Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Risks The Relitigation Of His Heavyweight Greatness

[pollywog]

AJ beating Parker will be remembered for the dodgy reffing.

[letsgochump]

When he loses he become a laughing stock and fall into depression and start to beat his wife

I’m not so sure. I’d say Paris wins. Likely by KO.

Win or lose I expect this to be Fury's last fight.

If he loses I don't see him getting motivated again, if he wins I expect he will refuse to give fans the AJ fight after how the past 18 months have been.

The British casuals will try and flock back to fury but after they spent the last 18 months hoping for an ugly Ukranian to knock him out I expect he tells them to sod off.

The thing is Fury and his most ardent fans were the people calling this guy the greatest HW ever. That claim was always absurd given Fury’s thin résumé and up-and-down performances, but it was sustained more by Fury’s nonstop bluster more than anything else; much like Floyd constantly calling himself TBE. If Fury beats Usyk convincingly and then retires he’ll have a good claim to being the best HW of this generation, but he’d still be nowhere near the top of the ATG HW list because people will just say that Usyk was a blown up cruiser weight. He needs to fight AJ before he retires, or he hasn’t beaten all the best competition of his era.

I've never seen anyone seriously claim Fury is the heavyweight GOAT.

His consistency and mentality outside the ring are absoloutley awful, but on his better nights H2H he's a problem for anyone.

Tyson, Bowe and Lewis are concensus top 10 ATG heavyweights, that's despite Tyson losing ALL of his big fights, Bowe being arguably even less consistent than Fury and Lewis being laid flat out cold by 2 Journeymen.

I'd include Vitali in that list but he's like borderline top 10.

If Fury beats Usyk he will have:

Ended the 10 year reign of dominance against Wlad, in a bouncy castle in wlads fortress of germany

Ended the 10 title defence hype run of Wilder which we can all be greatful for

Ened the unbeaten run of undisputed cruiserweight and unified heavyweight P4P #1 Usyk who has proven he can easily beat super heavyweights already.

He will be undisputed, 3x ring champion and lineal champion for 9 years.

Undefeated

Anyone saying he's "missing" anything on his resume if he pulls that off, isn't really worth listening to.

False. Everyone will remember, and talk about, the Ngannou performance. About how an 0-0 MMA guy beat the HW champion in boxing. That's part of his legacy forever now.

He, and his fans, can try the ostrich-head-in-the-sand method and pretend they never saw it or that it didn't exist but everyone saw that fight.

It will be in the same light as Ali being against a wrestler who kicked his leg so much he could have lost it. At least Fury won.

Usyk is bigger than Ali, that would be a great fight.

Your the casual demanding the 2 times! Kanye cry baby(did the same to Ruiz) fight's Fury without earning it,
As thing's stand Hrgovic is next then Parker in the rotation but not to the Kanye teabaggers.

I'm sick of both of them & hope Usyk wins undesputed & the rematch then retires, he alway's wants to fight the best.
Fury Aj at Wembly for a paper belt anyone xD it's no better than Brooke quitter khan now.

What a hating Article this is. Majority of it is fact. But this writer must like to “plug” his rear bumper all day. He sure is salty about his *****IAITENDKDK+ Clan.

Fack any H0mos. Everything he said about em is correct. If ya a religious man and live by the bible then why would you accept such abhorrent behaviour?

This writer needs to stick to talking boxing. He’s half decent at it. But nobody cares that he’s upset on behalf of all F@gs.

G4y men shouldn’t be allowed to adopt children. They don’t want to raise a family. They just want extra numbers in their messed up “army”.

politics and sport are 2 different things. Let’s keep it that way.

What hateful and ignorant response this is. You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about! My mum used to foster children and let me tell you children are better being brought up in a loving home, even if that home is a gay couple, than being brought up in a children’s home. Hopefully one day you’ll grow up.

Fury could have been an all time great already, but he was happy fighting too many easy touches for good money. Also his biggest win against Klitschko was off the back of a failed drug test against Christian Hammer, so went into the fight against him PEDs. Let’s see if he’s still got it against Usyk, I have a feeling he’ll turn up motivated and perform to his current best and push Usyk hard.

Bowe is not a consensus top 10 ATG.
