Comments Thread For: Arum: Fury Will Attract The U.S. Fans Like George Foreman Did

[just the facts]

Fury will never EVER get there fighting the Tom Schwartz of the boxing world

[Boksfan]

Fat Fury is bigger than Big George, I can give him that.

Fury has to add 20% more offense has D down best in division. Make guys pay more when they miss all night. Break them down start stopping guys too big for decisions only

[Drew Bundini Br]

FURY was smart to run from WILDER rematch. Now that WILDER has experienced his awkwardness and height difference he will flatten FURY and ruin the hype!

i think a lot of Fury’s schtick gets lost in translation. I dont think the ‘mom & pop’ crowd that hes trying to crossover appeal to knows what a ‘big dosser’ is.

Raucous 20 somethings from England and boxing fans seem to be all hes reaching now

[Outwest Exp 355]

I know he's just promoting but I don't see the Forman and Ali comparisons. He doesn't have anywhere near the talent or charm of Ali. Not a hint of the crushing power of Forman.
Just be straight and sell him for what he is. Don't pretend he has anything to do with past greats because the comparison only makes Fury look less significant. Fury can stand on his own.

They meant Yuri Foreman and Sadam Ali.

Bert Cooper and Emmanuel Steward arrive in boxing heaven, sit in front of God, and see a wall of clocks on the back wall with names below them. God sees where they are looking and explains 'they are the Truth Clocks, they all start at 12, then every time they tell a lie, it moves forward by 1 minute'. They see a couple of clocks clicking forward more often than the others 'oh yes, explains God, Eddie Hearn, Haymon, Finkel etc...quite active those ones'. Emmanuel asks 'Where's Bob Arum's clock?", 'oh that's in Jesus' room, he uses it as a ceiling fan'.

Hmmm, I don't know about that Bob. Based on stuff that Fury has said in the past, I'm thinking he's a big risk from a sales standpoint. His beliefs and opinions are kind of out there and he battles mental illness so I expect him to come up with another gem sooner than later.

[uppercut510]

he needs more fights I don't think he will reach foreman status tho but a great fighter

[MisanthropicNY]

He beat Wilder FFS!!!
