Comments Thread For: Holyfield: Joshua Must Think About His Image, Forget Tyson Fury

[vitali1999]

Yes Fury is finished, retired 350 pounds and probably never fights again. Wilder is garbage. Joshua is the real deal Evander Holyfield

[Flabble Scrote]

Fury was a flash in the pan, he's not coming back from 350lbs, not outside a gypsy park anyway, I've said that months ago

[Eff Pandas]

Nah, Holy is a wise man, he's the only man on earth, well along with spoon who thought Manny beat Floyd lol.

loooooooool

This is the first time I've ever agreed with Holyfield. Fury made himself irrelevant in boxing with his out of the activities. Joshua would make him relevant again by acknowledging his "Bi-polar" rants.

How in the christ is Joshua vs Fury not a big fight?

Outspoken, controversial Lineal champion vs the exciting, gold medallist media darling, who happens to be ranked no.1 and holds two of the major belts?

Heavyweights?

Both from the same country?

Legitimate, ongoing 'beef'?

What more do you need?

This would probably be the biggest UK fight ever if Fury was back in good shape and picked a win or two before hand. I expect it would shatter all PPV records over here, and would likely get good attention globally due to the developing crossover superstar appeal of AJ.

Other than Floyd/Mcgregor, it would be the biggest fight possible for the sport

Holyfield isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer though is he?

There's is no bigger fight for Joshua than the Fury fight. That will break all UK records by some distance and make Joshua and Fury a hell of a lot of money. Joshua is obviously much more popular than Fury, but Fury is probably equally as well known as Joshua in the UK, even if not in a positive way in the eyes of most. That's why it would be so big. Everyone knows who both are, even if one is largely disliked.

The only reason Joshua doesn't need that fight is Fury could actually box circles around him for 12 rounds. Joshua losing to Fury in the UK on that huge stage would be the end of Joshua really. Losing a fight is one thing, but losing to Fury after the huge build up it would have would be very damaging. That's all hypothetical at all because i doubt Fury fights again and it's hard to see him getting anywhere near his best again if he does.

Why isn't Fury popular in the UK. He was the one who beat Klitschko to become the real champion. On top of that he is a hilarious character out of the ring. Him singing to his wife during the post fight interviews was hilarious.

Joshua on the other hand is a killer in the ring but boring out of it. Generic sportsman. Never anything unpredictable comes out of his mouth

Holyfield protected his image by using the alias Evan Fields, so he knows all about keeping a rep intact. Him and Ward cheated two warriors out of their legacy: Kov and Tyson.

evan fields was a pretty piss poor alias for a guy named evander holyfield too.

You're a complete f.ucking moron. Just thought you should know that.

Hahahaha I know I was thinking that!

A few reasons. One initial is that a lot of people dislike gypsies, they have a negative view of them.

Also, the media were quite hellbent on destroying Fury. He did say a few things regarding ****sexuals and whatnot and in this day and age once you go down that route, the media and whatnot are going to go to town on you and try basically destroy you. Not to mention he was talking openly about ***s and how they run a lot of things such as the media and control almost everything.

The majority of people are still easily influenced by the tabloid newspapers and follow whatever they say. Once they decided they wanted to ruin him, the public just went along with it. So yeah, the combination of all those things was only going to go one way.

The funny thing is, Joshua is the convicted drug dealer out of the two and known for being a bully on the streets but he is the media darling, so the public eat it up. Fury has never done anything except voice his opinion. Even before he voiced these unpopular opinion, they weren't backing him anyway. He beat Klitschko and they barely give him any credit. Joshua beat CHARLES MARTIN and there was an orderly queue formed to suck him off.

For the record, I find Fury hilarious and think he's an excellent boxer on his day. I'm also ***ish and find nothing wrong with what he said.
