Comments Thread For: Fury Not Impressed With Joshua Win: Biggest Bum I Ever Saw

[The plunger man]

Yep and when I spoke to Tyson he also wasn't happy about being overlooked in the wilder fight. But that only motivates him even more.

Wilder is getting humiliated on December 1st

Tell fury from me he is a bum and a coke head and the reason why joshua never mentioned him is he has no chance of beatijg wilder.
He gets ironed by joshua and wilder big time.

Fury would never have knocked out Povetkin.

No but he would've beaten him on points if it went 12 rounds, something you can't say for AJ who was losing handily before he got the KO.

Fury stuck in time 25 years ago when trash talk and calling everyone else bums was the thing. Nowadays being humble and respectful goes the long way. When will this degenerate catch up and finally wake up in 21 century? Coke will do that to you kids, stay off the blow

People who use that 'saying' either need to:
A) Be genocided / exterminated etc.
B) Required by law to explain EXACTLY what it means and where the term originated from (why is the pot and kettle black? how did they become black? etc.) and failure to do so refer to rule 'A'


Other than that I agree with your general sentiment. Fury is all talk at this point

"The pot calling the kettle black" is a proverbial idiom that may be of Spanish origin of which English versions began to appear in the first half of the 17th century. The idiom is glossed in the original sources as being used of a person who is guilty of the very thing of which they accuse another and is thus an example of psychological projection.

The earliest appearance of the idiom is in Thomas Shelton's 1620 translation of the Spanish novel Don Quixote. The protagonist is growing increasingly restive under the criticisms of his servant Sancho Panza, of which one is that "You are like what is said that the frying-pan said to the kettle, 'Avant, black-browes'."[1] The Spanish text at this point reads: Dijo la sartén a la caldera, Quítate allá ojinegra (Said the pan to the pot, get out of there black-eyes).[2] It is identified as a proverb (refrán) in the text, functioning as a retort to the person who criticises another of the same defect that he plainly has. Among several variations, the one where the pan addresses the pot as culinegra (black-arse) makes clear that they are dirtied in common by contact with the cooking fire.[3]

This version was also recorded in England soon afterwards as "The pot calls the pan burnt-arse" in John Clarke's collection of proverbs, Paroemiologia Anglo-Latina (1639).[4] A nearer approach to the present wording is provided by William Penn in his collection Some Fruits of Solitude in Reflections and Maxims (1682):

"If thou hast not conquer'd thy self in that which is thy own particular Weakness, thou hast no Title to Virtue, tho' thou art free of other Men's. For a Covetous Man to inveigh against Prodigality, an Atheist against Idolatry, a Tyrant against Rebellion, or a Lyer against Forgery, and a Drunkard against Intemperance, is for the Pot to call the Kettle black."[5]
Apart from the final example in this passage, there is not a strict accord between the behaviour of the critic and the person censured.

An alternative modern interpretation,[6][7] far removed from the original intention, argues that while the pot is sooty (being placed on a fire), the kettle is shiny (being placed on coals only); hence, when the pot accuses the kettle of being black, it is the pot's own sooty reflection that it sees: the pot accuses the kettle of a fault that only the pot has, rather than one that they share. The point is illustrated by a poem that appeared anonymously in an early issue of St. Nicholas Magazine from 1876:

“ "Oho!" said the pot to the kettle;
"You are dirty and ugly and black!
Sure no one would think you were metal,
Except when you're given a crack."

"Not so! not so!" kettle said to the pot;
"'Tis your own dirty image you see;
For I am so clean – without blemish or blot –
That your blackness is mirrored in me."

AJ is a bum and was getting comfortably outboxed by an old midget. Fury schools him.
