Comments Thread For: First Encounters With Tyson Fury

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Thomas Gerbasi - Tyson Fury was a long way from Las Vegas, or even the arenas in the UK or Germany where he ultimately went from prospect to contender to champion to star. Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. A great town, but not the place you would expect a six-foot-nine heavyweight from Manchester, England to be preparing for what was at...

"People don’t grow up thinking, ‘Yeah, I want to be like a Klitschko."
==================

If my son says he wants to be like Fury, I'd realize that I failed as a parent. But if Klitschko is his inspiration, I'd be in peace knowing that he is on a right track, unlike this bipolar coke-head.

Nice article and good recap showing how good and dramatic Fury's career was. He's an intelligent person, the only thing is that sometimes he gets too much humoral and says silly things like those about Vegas.

Yeah, I was disappointed with what he said recently about how he’d celebrate if he won.

Seriously, he has a wife.

Yes you have a fair point.

This guy is a drugs cheat, why is that always conveniantly ignored?

Ignoring his drugs use does a massive, massive disservice to the boxers that are clean. The sport, especially the HW division, can be a life-threatening pursuit if someone who has drugs in their system is fighting.

Jounalists like this guy are shameless for not calling it out purely because Fury is white I suspect (look at the hammering Miller received for the same thing).

Same here. In fact in that moment, for the first time, I hoped Wilder would win. But all things considered I think that was just a butade, coming from an histrion like he is.

Both are interesting to me, surely more than aj.

Like him or not Fury is good for the sport because he is vocal. He doesn't bring excitement to the ring so much as he does in his interviews but his wit is grabbing. I'm glad to see him and Wilder run it back and honestly I cant pick a winner nor do I really care who does. I would like to see Wilder and AJ fight just to get rid of all the naysayers on either side

Fury is a waste of potential.

If Anthony Joshua has fought the same level of opponents in 5 years time as Fury has now - we would be saying he was a "no balls loser"

There's no way I can get behind Fury until he starts taking on all-comers and stops picking fights.

Fury is best at self-promotion. Even him getting knocked down twice by someone he said could never land on him - has now been turned into a massive achievement.

Chisora 2x
Klitschko
Wilder 2x ( maybe 3x?)
Joshua?

Who else should he fight?
