Fury "fans" crawling out of the woodwork

[New England]

carl froch retired within weeks of andre ward's comeback.

"saying that makes you a fanboy doe."


i repeat what happened concerning froch's career and andre ward's impact on it, and let you all demonstrate your insecurities.


i have not once said that froch retired because he was scared. i struck a chord with a lot of you because of how it looks when a fighter retires within a couple of weeks of his biggest rival making a comeback. i'll leave being scared for another grown man / being fanboy to the rest of you.

Oh great, a Tyson Fury hipster.

You're just another faceless Pacquiao fan in 2008 now. Sorry.

There's no shame in people becoming fans of a fighter after a fight, but the trouble is they want to make it seem as if they knew the Fury would win all along when they said nothing during the buildup or outright ridiculed his chances same as everyone else. It's no skin off my nose though. Anyone who's followed the Fury vs Klitschko masterthread will know who the real supporters were since there were so few of us and we were so passionately vocal. We were also the only ones who could truly see Fury's quality, his strengths and weaknesses, and genuine class beneath all the bluster and bravado. That's something which the fairweather fans will struggle to perceive, though it's always nice when there's a genuine Eureka moment in a fan's mind regarding a fighter. I'm seeing quite a few of those in the aftermath as well.

I've always been a Batty Gypo fan, but didn't think he could pull this one off... and certainly not with such ease.

again, if you want to celebrate yourself, that's fine. enjoy it. you're cheering for yourself and the people with whom you identify, not for the psort of boxing.

boxing would have never existed if that's how the HW championship with regularly contested. this sport wouldn't exist.

I'm actually just having a laugh at how salty you are that a Briton has the World HW title.

Where were you all during the build up? The Master thread got very lonely for us true Fury fans at times.

"Wladimir gonna knock Fury out with the first right hand he lands doe"

"i'm not a fanboy, i'm just having a laugh."


sure


you love htat a brit is champion because you're a fanboy. sh#t fights be damned.


act like you've been there and recognize that fury beat a dead man in one fo the ugliest HW championship fights of all time.

that fight was f#cking garbage. credit to him for winning an upset, but that's not good for the division. HW are going to be hard pressed to get back on american TV after that fight .

the only way you liked that fight is if you're a british fan of tyson fury. and that's fine. you want your guy to win. but don't act like it was a geat fight, please. that was one of the worst fights of the year. tyson jerked around all night like he was trying to shake flies off of his face, and klitschko just stared at him.

You're just bitter because Fury has such a long reach.

Why are you talking about Froch and Ward in a Fury thread?

It's sad bro.
