Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Injects New Life To Heavyweight Division

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Thomas Gerbasi - Those are just the openers from a recent Google News search coming more than two weeks after Tyson Fury’s upset of Wladimir Klitschko. In other professional sports, this is par for the course these days. In boxing, particularly heavyweight boxing, it’s given new life to a division ruled so dominantly by Klitschko that it became boring.

Yes, Fury, the new WBA / WBO / IBO (and already former IBF) world heavyweight champion is off the wall with his often incendiary and misguided comments, but after defeating Klitschko on November 28, and with the buzz about that victory not subsiding in the least, he may very well be the division’s unlikely savior.

With the win, the 27-year-old Brit has opened up the heavyweight division to fighters who now feel like the road is clear for them to make a run at the top, and he also has fans hoping that his seizure of most of the belts will lead to a showdown with Deontay Wilder should Fury-Klitschko II end up with the same result as the first bout.

Of course, it’s hard to believe that Klitschko could possibly look as bad a second time as he did last month, but maybe 39 years and 68 fights caught up to a man who was unbeaten for the last 11 years, and Fury was just the man who got him at the right time. [Click Here To Read More]

Tyson Fury is a joke sidekick, the belts are going to get passed around over the next couple years until Anthony Joshua gets into full force.

Fury is going to dominate the division for years to come. Nobody beats Tyson Fury at the moment in time.

Stay salty.

Well call out Gerbasi for a Thursday morning filler piece.

Show me where Fury is the villain except in what constitutes the parameters of political correctness. All he has done is spoken his mind. He thinks ****sexuality and ********s shouldn't have been legalized. I don't agree. But I do agree that he should be able to say that if he wishes. He says an attractive British athletic star "slaps up good". That is demeaning language which paints Fury, in the eyes of most, as an oaf. But he has a right to say that.
Fury is a pantomine villain - but compared to the real villains, the rapists, the pimps, the killers (here's looking at you Don King) - he is a harmless singing buffoon who creates a stir.

Fury is just a year older than AJ and still improving himself.

By the time Joshua is ready to face him, Fury will also be a better fighter than he is now.

If he keeps his focus and doesn't let being The Champ go to his head, Tyson could end up being as important in the history of the sport as the man his father named him after.
