Comments Thread For: Fury: I Played With Klitschko in His Backyard, I'll School Joshua!

I wish you guys would think before posting.

#1 Fury is 350lb.

#2 That means you noobs expect him to lose 100lb in 4 months then after losing the weight be ready for a boxing match of significance?

#3 The man doesnt even eat right as we speak. I know some folks who have seen him at pubs drinking pitchers of beers last month. This a man who was baking 12 inch round cakes and eating them during training camps.

#4 The man has gained so much weight his voice has changed. think about that. this is real life not a video game.

1. Yes he's very very big.

2. Yes it will take a while to get rid of all that weight.

3/4. And yes he hasn't been eating right or training as of late but he has had issues with BBBofC and UKAD who have been holding back his hearing repeatedly, his case should have been resolved months ago; can we really overly criticise a man who has not had much to aim for as far as his boxing career is concerned? now if Tyson obtained his license again then there would be motivation for him to train harder and take better care of himself, often when there's so much politics going on around you, a fighter can lose a sense of direction.

And just to add another point, no one should expect him in the ring any time soon because the biggest hurdle for now is getting his license back and then taking it easy from there, he needs to take his time getting that weight off and not do something which is not healthy due to poor advice from others, then have 3 tune ups to see where he's at physically and mentally. At the end of the day these fighters are human beings after all and a return to the top level may not necessarily be in the best interest of Tyson Fury's health overall.

So I hope he is not rushed back and his team are patient with him, all promoters want is to make money that's all they care for, they'd stick Tyson Fury as he stands in the ring if it came to it in order to make some big bucks. But yeah people need to be realistic with regards to the timeline of his comeback, there's a long long way to go.

Im a huge fan of Team Fury, I think Peter Fury is a good man and a great trainer. IMO Tyson went off the rails when is dad was released from prison with the drinking and drugs. Peter Fury had him right but once Big John came home thats when things went wrong. The dad was vocal about Tyson not being invited to "TV Quiz shows" or celebrated in the UK and it was racism toward the travelers etc etc and Tyson bought into this and went full depression mode. Peter would of shielded him from that and kept him in the gym.

Yeah but Fury has been coked up to his eyeballs since then.

This mental midget needs to go away.

It's an interesting theory and you could be right, big john may have negatively influenced him however I think Peter has kept check of him generally. Tyson on an individual level is bi-polar honestly, he has multiple personalities and paris would tell you that herself. He may not always believe everything that he says given that there has been an obsession with being controversial but the man is enigmatic, it can work in his favour to because when those mind games are being played there's no one better then Tyson Fury when it comes to manipulation, in his own words he's touched in the head, a mad scientist if you will, the type of guy everyone looks at and never takes seriously because he comes across as a bit of a nugget but is in fact a genius. Problem with such individuals is that they can experience periods of extreme highs and extreme lows, they desperately need direction and something to aim for or everything just falls apart and becomes disoriented.

However, in recent times he has made some progress mentally which is a great sign and he has been looking himself. And like you say Peter especially will be key in taking it from here, I hope he can com back to his best because there's no one quiet like him in Boxing and the sport can be the best therapy for him if everything is done right

True but he is a long way from a fight let alone championship level.

Fury just needs to get in shape and he would school stuff azz Joshua.

Joshua is overrated.. he is a poor man’s Bruno.

+1

I'm trying to think of a precedent for another boxer getting that heavy and losing it, then returning to form.
