Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury talks retirement, says boxing is 'more addictive than any drug'

Well, not really.

Tyson Fury's name is part of the list of Heavyweight Champions of the World; which is as important to historical records as the apostolic succession of Popes, the Dynasties of China or British sovereigns- but much older than those.

Joshua has yet to add his name to that list.

History matters, when nothing else does.

Man wtf are you talking about? Chinese dynasties stretch 2000 years and British sovereigns roughly half that, while the first heavyweight champion was crowned less than 150 years ago..and Joshua is yet to become a HW champion?

You sure do spout a lot of crap for an alleged “journalist” and “historian”, as you’ve claimed on previous threads.

The fight was very close and competitive. He did not loose badly. He only lost one round badly. I am not a Tyson Fury fan and do not like his nonsense outside of the ring, but I believe it is possible for Tyson to win in another close fight. He was winning the fight until round 7 and then got overconfident and careless, so he paid the price. I guess we will see what happens in the rematch.

Good post. While most of the the posts here reflect a fan's emotional relief that Usyk won, yours sticks to facts & reason.
Fight one was a very, very close fight. And a pretty good one too.

I think that the question in fight Two is; which man has more opportunity to improve on his performance from fight one? That will be your winner.

Stay in your lane, you're in over your head.

What do you mean by this? Has AJ not been HW champion of the world? In what way has Tyson Fury been more credibly enshrined as HW champion of the world than AJ?

There is zero logic to this reasoning; as with most of your posts.

I've bet against Fury before and regretted it , although I think Usyk will pip him again I'm not sure enough to back him with a wedge. What I am sure about though , is Fury has a much better chance of beating Usyk than Joshua has.If Fury loses then I hope and expect him to retire.His body has had a long career!

Fury lost to Usyk far worse than AJ did. The man had 3 decent rounds in a 12 round fight, but was otherwise completely and emphatically outclassed and saved from a sure KO. AJ just got outboxed.

Best of the era

1. Usyk
2. Joshua
3. Parker
4. Fury

I.... do not hate that list. Had not really thought of Parker in this sense, but his career resurgence absolutely deserves to be considered.

Stay in your lane, you're in over your head.

Says the person who believes that heavyweight championship records stretch 1000+ years and was on here a while ago claiming that it’s Wilder who is the 2nd best fighter of this era, while AJ has apparently never been HW champion?

It’s clear that you’ve lost your head entirely..seek help man, you’re embarrassing yourself.

Fury was not winning at any point of the fight. Clowning should not win you rounds.

Usyk controlled the distance, landed the harder shots and won 8-9 rounds. It was not close.

If you think so, ydksab. End of.
