Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury To Be Profiled on HBO's Real Sports With Gumbel

[Fangedgrowl]

um bc he's a 2 time gold medalist, a boxing prodigy that beat the p4p number 2 possibly with 13 fights..his ko percentage is highter he's actually beat other ranked fighters at 122 and the whole world is just about running from him unless they can have a 15lb advan and bring him up in weight..

look i've seen fury only fight bums and he only was fun vs cunningham and chisora guy that are shorter and smaller..trust me vs the top guys he's fgoingf to do wat he did vs wlad..

u mention rigo getting dropped by a giant compared to the stature of rigo lol..lets see fury fight a decent fighter that is much bigger than him watg would he do? get dropped like he did vs smaller guys like cunningham? Foh bru..this is not even a convo rigo would flat out kill the style of tyson fury

Thank you Fury is garbage, who feasted on terrible competiton. Guy is a WWE wanna be.

Pretty sure you still had a month left on that sig you sly sun of a gun.

I couldn't resist the Scott Quigg gif.

Nobody gives a **** about Rigo, least of all, HBO. As for Fury fighting a decent fighter that is much bigger than him, that's impossible, because that man doesn't exist.

Fury is also ranked higher than Rigo p4p, Boxrec has him at 3.

boxrec is very low on the pole when it comes to ranking systems..
i understand that it is impossible, but you know his skill set is not one that could beat bigger fighters..he just ran from a guy his own size all night..

i know hbo doesnt love rigo, but im askin why due to them seeming to want tyson fury now...they are not different to me except rigo his just lasted so long in boxing from a kid to a grown man and is just the most feared thing in the world

[tiliheels]

If Rigo was more marketable than Fury he would have been marketed more.

But he isn't and no one watches his fights. Fury gets mobbed everywhere he goes now.

not true..hbo proved that by firing most of its staff..they have admittedly made some mistakes..ijs or positions wouldnt have been vacated..
and lets be honest that 12 round of fury vs klit showed me all i needed to see..if the opponent quits being tentative fury will fold..most fighters wont wait 12 rounds...u dont believe fury is dominant and hbo doesnt either..they are blocking fights we want bc they see wilder is a threat to take over US boxing with the excitement in the hw division

I can see how you wouldnt like there pfp list, but boxrec is run by some of the smartest people in the boxing business.

Instead of using opinion for rankings, they go purely off of ranking of competition when you fought them.

So Basically..

Rigo is clearly the better fighter, but Fury, especially since beating Wlad, has beaten better fighters, (according to there rank, when he fought them)

If that makes sense.

look bro..wlad just went 12 rounds with and basically could have lost to Jennings imo..the man was deducted for holding a guy that didnt make it to the 6th round in his next fight..wat i mean is he has been done the division finally had something to judge it.....the showing of how u won means something..it was horrible and he looked like he would have given it up if wlad put on the pressure that he applied in the 12th.

I never said I disagreed, I just wanted to explain how boxrec does there rankings because most people dont know.

The reason Wlad was ranked so high is he has constantly beat the highest ranked fighters in the division.

Yes I know, the performances weren't impressive and the division is weak.

well to me that just shows you how bad their ranking system is broke all up..but in some divisions they have it right..
i just asked myself how wlad would be vs top styles and i knew better than to think he was great..long reigning, but to me that dont mean great

There's absolutely no doubt that Fury is an infinitely bigger draw than Rigo.

Its as simple as that.
