Comments Thread For: Fury: Wilder OK With Being No. 3; That's Why He's 'Bronze Bomber'

[apollocreed]

A Gold Olympic medal with 40 Amateur fights. Silver medalist in 2011.

Bronze is still good, it’s not about winning it’s about taking part. Ask anyone that finishes 3rd or 4th they will agree with me.

Mayweather received a bronze in '96, but he said he doesn't like to say 'won' a bronze, because it wasn't gold so he lost.
That's the difference in mentality Fury is referring to. It is definitely not about 'taking part'. That's what you tell school kids.

i always thought celebrating coming third and having it as a moniker to be weird

Mayweather got robbed, but that is a good point to bring up. Wilder still has that "hood" mentality. Mayweather was smart enough to become his own person even though he's been criticized by the media at times for not sticking to the ********ic Party Media script.

Fury gets some good lines in (no pun intended)

Tyson Fury “The Gypsy third in line to the throne”
It’s good but doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.

Deontay “the wooden spoon bomber” Wilder

Now that has real affect!

That was kind of funny. Fury always brings the entertainment outside the ring even when inside the ring he usually bores you.

A Bronze medal with what 35 amateur fights you say Tyson? and before that Deontay made it to the Olympic trials in only 21 bouts? Early in 2008 he scored a career-best win by edging out World championships silver medalist and future Olympic champion Rakhim Cvhakhiyev in Russia?

Very informative Elie nuttsac
