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

[OnlytheTruth]

Fury is the lineal champ, intact since Sullivan. The man to beat. The boogeyman of the division. The kingpin. Until someone truly beats him, he is the HW division. The cash cow. The golden goose. The Bobfather has boxing in his hands.

Not really.

Fury is a drugs cheat. He only escaped a severe ban because he had more money than the UKAD budget and could have bankrupted them so they settled on a backdated ban despite Fury being 'semi retired' and ruining himself with drugs and alcohol.

How anyone can be given any kind of title after that is beyond me! It should be a lifetime ban.

He isn't the cash cow. Joshua is still the money man of the division, even in defeat.

He is, however, a great boxer but if Wilder can combo his ass onto the canvas, then he isn't THAT good. Wilder is the worst out of the top 4 HW's.

Good post!

Why would it be staggering? 6 fights and they've all fought each other once and then take the best two set of results and have those two fight each other a second time. That's 7 fights. If the result of the second fight reverses the first fight then have a decider making a total of eight fights.

Of course, this would never happen for a staggering number of reasons!!

Spoken like a seasoned boxing fan.

Fury lost his lineal title claim when he retired in 2016. I don't have any problems with the guy, but it gets old hearing them promote him with this fake title claim.

No one wants to say it or admit but fury past lifestyle looks like it's catching up with him , looks old inside and outside the ring , only way to optimise what he has left is get an experienced trainer and train smart.

He schooled that bum from Alabama, Hearns little cash cow got smashed by fat boy so that makes Fury the number 1 and fat boy #2....windmill had trouble beating a 60 year old man btw lol

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

They really want everyone to forget about that. Cheating doesn't jive with the "He's got heart" narrative.

Haters must realise that Fury , even without official world title, is as big as Wilder. He is undefeated top guy with many haters that want to see him losing. Wilder is just the same, just their styles are different.

Meh...I don't think Fury has many haters at all. I think hater is a convenient way to disqualify people speaking real facts about Fury that don't favor the narrative of "champion" and "best".

By way of Ring Magazine rules, he I'd not lineal champion. That's a fact. By official test results he was found to have PEDs in his system. That's a fact. He did not defeat Wilder. That's a fact. He did not sign the immediate rematch with Wilder. That's a fact. Any one using these facts to form an opinion on Fury isn't a hater.

He did not sign the immediate rematch with Wilder.

And that was smart decision.

[Straightener]

Not a fury fan by any stretch but the only reason he isn’t champion is because of nandrolone and in more recent times bent judges
