Comments Thread For: Fury: 'I'm a Fat Bastard;' Says He Must Lose 100-Plus Pounds

[ConRaffery]

how do you just flush your career away like this? It's hard to find an example of another fighter who fell this hard this fast. He went from winning the lineal HW championship and then a year later he's 100lbs overweight, loses his belts, and is the punchline of jokes. He's only 27 and he's done. You on more drugs then him if A) you think he's going to get back in shape B) you think he will ever win a meaningful fight again.

The only sensible thing you wrote was he is only 27. (I think he is 28 but anyway).

The reason I say this is that the main issue he has is his mental state. If he doesn't get that right he is done for good but if he can get back to the same place mentally the drugs don't mean nothing and the weight can be stripped off.

It's not like Maidana where if he came back he would never make ww again and have to fight in higher weight classes, this guy is a heavyweight. He strips the weight and fights in the same division as before.

Not staying in shape is not ideal but it's all about where he is at mentally which will determine whether he makes it back or not.

Remember this?

"""I don't understand how so many people are cool with this. I don't have a dog in this race so I really didn't care who won (I did pick Lemieux by KO after I found out he skipped the second weigh in) Then I hear it took Stevens an hour to become responsive at the hospital it pisses me off. This was a premeditated move by Lemieux to gain an advantage."""

So that means you are not cool with what Jacobs did right?

If Lemieux told Stevens he wasn't fighting for the IBF secondary title would Stevens have the choice to fight for it?

Yes. Stevens would've had the choice to fight for the secondary title or not.

If Jacobs told GGG he wasn't fighting for the IBF title would GGG have a choice to defend the title?

No. He had to make second day weigh in regardless of what Jacobs did.

GGG could have vacated

There's been a lot of funny ass thread titles here over the years...but this one may take the damn cake

He wasn't vacating that belt and you know it. Stop with the BS because you don't understand the difference. Canelo isn't fightin for th the WBC so he doesn't have to do the 30, 14, and 7 day weigh in. GGG has to do it he has no choice. Same as the IBF weigh in with Jacobs.

My comment was as ridiculous as your bias?
