**** off Frank

Yes we know fat gypsy is the best fighter on the planet, that's why he's fighting cruiserweight bum next?

I can see this sort of headline becoming a daily occurrence until the lying, fat, coke head, drug cheat gets flattened. Old fish eyes is just trying to build him up again.

I don’t agree with Frank’s assessment but can you blame him? He is supposed to say that

[Noelanthony]

Like it or not Fury is king.

Yes we know he is the king of the gypsie. I’m not a fan of Tyson’s boxing everyone is basing his greatness of one fight where his opponent didn’t throw a punch until the 12th round and even th3n I thought he would knockout Tyson. As a personality I love him and met him in Bolton before the Chisora fight a stand up guy

Fury has kind of got an excuse now. If he comes back and looks terrible, well a prime Fury would have done this.

As much as I will argue that the performance against Wlad was better by Fury as he beat the champ and was younger and on a winning run.
Joshua was the more entertaining fight against Wlad and has greater rewatching value.

Fury will always have an excuse but when do prime fighters ever fight each other?

Warren is plain wrong when he says Fury is the 'lineal' world champion. The last lineal world champion was Lennox Lewis and Fury didn't beat Lewis. Klitschko did not hold the WBC title, generally considered the most prestigious of the four. He held the Ring belt, but lost that because he announced his retirement. When you retire the line of succession is broken. Fury has been out for two-and-a-half years and is now making a comeback. By the time he fights Joshua or Wilder he would have been out for around four years. He will be a former champion and challenger. That is all. And while Warren sings his praises now, I remember him telling us that Derrick Chisora would beat him. And does he really think that a man who got knocked down heavily by the aged cruiserweight Steve Cunningham (who also outboxed him for six rounds), would stand up to the power of Wilder or Joshua? Pull the other one.

So according to you, the HW lineage ended when Lennox retired, and there will never be another lineal HW champ unless Lennox makes a comeback, and somebody beats him?

That crap you wrote about Fury and Cunningham is exactly the same crap people were saying before Fury fought Wlad. Look what happened there.

To be a true champion you have to defend your belts not become a bag head on peds

Hope fury does come back strong though ... I didn't think we would ever see him back at fighting weight . Pretty impressive

So are you saying Vlad wasn't lineal champ? And the WBC lost that credibility many years ago.I'm not a massive fury fan at all but he is the lineal champ like it or not but 2 years inactivity has lead to the ring magazine's belt,which is symbolic of the lineage being taken off him.

**** off Frank

Hahaha, exactly.

No surprise Warren coming out with this **** though, is it? After all, it's his job, he's a promoter!

if we take as valid your claim, then there were no no champion heavy linear since retired undefeated as champion Rocky Martian .... and then not even the greatest of all time Ali could considered champion linear ... which is a crazy only thought .... champion linear not only ad man to defeat the man, but which is set in general view as man after the linear previous has been retired
