Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury's Still a Star, But He's Not The Heavyweight Champion

Crack a book Lyle

NFL? Tennis? Ring title? What about Corbett?

Lol

He actually was KTFO against his "toy" and the fact he was allowed to continue had more to do with the time remaining and MONEY than him actually being judged fit to continue.

Not to mention the slow count that contributed to his resurrection.

He deserved a loss because he was gifted that long count. Hopefully, he's learned not to "toy" with a man who literally rendered him senseless and defenseless TWICE in one night!

"Champion"?

My ass ...

Tbh I like Fury but he is a ped cheat like Canelo, Ortiz, Whyte etc nature of the beast but his issues were linked to that UKAD problem

Two sentences in:

The British big man boxed Wladimir Klitschko’s ears off in a fight I never thought he’d win.

FAIL.

GTFOH

And yes, Fury is lineal and there's nothing that can be done about it until he loses or really retires.

The end.

Finally!!!!!

Calling Fury the champion cheapens the sport as much as De-listing Crawford as champion...


Being a staunch fan of a fighter or a promoter is one thing but it should never at the expense of the sport of boxing.

"Top Rank and ESPN continue to **** the nonsensical promotional drum" is the correct description and one that should stop.

By your logic, Vitali comes out of retirement makes him lineal champion. He never lost in the ring. Rules are made for a reason, Arum doesn't have the right to rewrite them because they don't suit his promotional needs any more than Haymon de-listing Crawford.

Fury is a fraud.

Fury failed 3 PED tests administered by UKAD from Feb 2015 - Sept 2016 for Nandrolone including before the Klitchko fight

Made a deal w/ UKAD to admit guilt, Titles stripped & Only a 2 yr suspension b/c he could've been Suspended for Life

This seems inaccurate. Pretty sure it was 1 failed test and a huge legal battle whereby UKAD allowed Fury to get a backdated ban but admit no wrongdoing.

I know he’s dirty but I don’t think it was 3 failed tests.

I’m still waiting to hear the test was consistent with eating uncastrated wild boar offal

[GlassJoey]

Pete Sampras is the lineal tennis champ and Federer is a fraud

I agree in principle with the writer about the lay off but you cant pick and choose which ratings you want to follow to support your agenda.

First we go off the ring rules then boxrec ratings? I agree tom Schwartz wasnt the best but why refer to boxrec when he was top 5 with the wbo

[factsarenice]

Allowing promoters to anoint champions is on par with steroid usage, it's corrosive and it cheats the sport. If allowed, real talent will soon need to either sign with a cheat or never be allowed to reach their potential.

There are rules that were made to protect the sport.
