Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury-Erkan Teper Purse Bid Set For April 13th

I didn't even read the comments but I knew all the idiots would spring out from their cave.

Tyson Fury is fighting bums! #LeapaiWasMandoDoe

Fury has done nothing at HW - he's been carefully matched against non-punchers. That's exactly why this story is funny; Teper is precisely the type of fighter Hennessy would match Fury with.

Who the hell cares about two Eurobum HW in a nothing fight.

None of these guys are ever going to be Champion.

Talk about

Klitschko Vs Jennings
Povetkin Vs Perez
Wilder's 1st defense
The prospect of Anthony Joshua

Eurobum battles are irrelevant

Carefully matched against non-punchers.

Signed to fight Haye twice and has been calling out Wlad for 2 years.

Did he ? I never heard anyone else quote this bar Fury himself. As soon as Emanuel passed I heard Bunce start another rumour regarding Steward saying Chisora had Wlad scared, again another unfounded rumor started after the death of the trainer. Convenient nobody else was around to clarify this bs. The more and more I hear it, it sounds like hyperbole, especially having watched successive Chisora and Fury performances from one year to the next after these comments apparently took place, lol.

i'm also not sure about the whole Fury thing. Apparently it was made in camp with Wlad in 2011. Not sure if it's just encouragement from Steward's side.

However, the Chisora remarks are definitely true. He made several positive comments towards him and said he thought he could challenge Wlad.

Beat Wlad or had Wlad scared? No. I don't think Steward would ever think that But he did definitely say that he thought highly of him. I'll see if I can find a clip or article.

Here he says he thinks Chisora is a more dangerous fight than Haye and would prefer if they didn't fight Chisora:

"When this fight was originally scheduled [for Dec. 11, before Klitschko injured an abdominal muscle in training], I said -- and I was probably the only one -- that I expected a tougher fight from Chisora than from any of the opponents we had fought in the last five years," Steward told ESPN.com on Tuesday. "I still feel the same way."

Despite vast gulfs in size -- the Ukrainian has height and reach advantages of five and seven inches, respectively -- and experience (Klitschko has fought 58 times as a professional, including 19 world title bouts; Chisora has laced them up for money on just 14 occasions), Steward insists the Londoner brings certain intangibles to the table that some of the champion's recent challengers have lacked.

Despite his fighter's obvious advantages, trainer Emanuel Steward believes Wladimir Klitschko will face one of his most dangerous recent threats in Dereck Chisora.
"I think Dereck Chisora has improved tremendously in the past year as a fighter," Steward said. "What I respect about him is his competitive spirit. This, to me, is what always makes a dangerous opponent: These guys with tremendous confidence, especially if they're young.

"Not wanting to belittle anyone, but the [Ruslan] Chagaevs, the Lamon Brewsters, the Sam Peters -- all these veteran-type guys -- they're very predictable, no real burning ambition. To me, the confidence, the ambition, the burning desire of a fighter is a lot more dangerous than that of an experienced fighter. I've always felt that Chisora was a tough fight, and I'm really not that super-excited about it.

"I personally would rather we had just fought David Haye."

He didn't fight Haye though, did he? As for Wladimir, he was offered the fight in 2013 and turned it down.

If Wladimir gets Wilder, I really hope Povetkin goes after Fury. He'd KO him, brutally.

Haha no he wouldn't. Povetkin is too small to beat Fury. You need to remember that Fury is on another level to bums like Manuel Charr.

Manuel Charr KO's the big oaf, too.

War Diamond Boy!

Your personal dislike of Fury makes you biased.

Don't worry, you're not the only one.
