Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Officially Vacates WBA, WBO, IBO World Titles!

Funny you get some good fans, then haters.

Same people who say Mike Tyson etc was one the very best. Not every boxing world champion is a saint.

Floyd mayweather( domestic), oscar de la hoya(drug problems), tyson (convicted of ****), manny pacquiao (****phobic/offensive views), ricky hatton (drug problem), even anderson silva mma superstar (performance enhancing drugs)

There's so many to list, my point is Tyson obviously has mental health issues. But he did dethrone the most dominant champion of this 2000s era. Whether it was a snooze fest is irrelevant. Give the man his due. He's been a fool and acted unprofessionally, but his team and management arent exactly fantastic. Sharing the belts will mean cans like arreola, martin, briggs are always around the titles. I was hoping for klitschko v aj v wilder v fury combos (ortiz, haye etc) filling the gaps

The division went down the drain, or up the nose in this case.
Now all the top contenders will get easy opponents for some vacant title and none them will face each other for years.

This guy did something nobody on the face of the planet could do for 10 years, beat Wladimir Klitschko in a boxing ring, then fizzled out before anyone had a chance to care. Surreal.

Imagine what a mentally sane disciplined Fury could do. Guess this is the end of the road.

I agree. Still likely to face a ban over both the ******* and the nandrolone issue still needs to be cleared up.
It'll be a joke if this ban coincides with his "recovery".

After that he'll need to convince promoters he won't drop out, may need to take less money to get fighting again.

The belts will be scattered so hard to see how he can stay champion in recess.

All in he'll find himself in the who needs him club I think.

His team is trying to go about this pretending he will just jump right back and conquer everything next year .......... couple this with his obvious mental deficits and general lack of motivation when it comes to maintaining some sort of professional approach and it just doesn't seem likely. He might fight again but it won't be at elite level.

I'd like to see Joshua - Vlad for the WBO belt

BBBofC just confirmed suspension of license.

I really don't want to say it but this guy is a way better fighter than what many people give him credit for.
His problem though will likely be that he's mentally bipolar, so to speak. When he's strong and focused he's really good but it looks like he has that other side....when he's mentally/ emotionally weak, he really falters. I was thinking he could be the undisputed champ for many years before this mental breakdown occurred. Now I don't have much confidence in his boxing longevity at the top level.

Unfortunately the mental part of the sport is crucial for every fighter. If Zab Judah, Kermit Cintron, Victor Ortiz and other mental midgets had the tenacity and mental toughness of Evander Holyfield, Shane Mosley or Antonio Margarito they would have been much better fighters.

I'm confused, there seems to be a contradiction here.

Are you worried or disappointed that they will go to "scrubs?". Because Haye ain't a worldbeater, and when he does fight, it's with scrubs.

Respect to Fury hopefully he gets better.
