Comments Thread For: First Encounters With Tyson Fury

[AdonisCreed]

Man reading that article made be realize that fury has experienced almost every aspect of life. Being unknown to being champion, to illegally using performance enhancing drugs, thru addiction and recovery and mental health issues. Now he's back fighting in a meaningful title fight. You can say just about anything about Fury and it would be true whether its good or bad.

I know the Klitschkos have been successful for the past ten years and they speak 25 different languages and they’re in great shape, but who wants to be a Klitschko?” asked Fury in 2013. “People don’t grow up thinking, ‘Yeah, I want to be like a Klitschko.’ I’m named after Mike Tyson. My name is Tyson, so he must have influenced my father. I don’t know many people who are named Wladimir because of Wladimir or Vitali because of Vitali

Damn

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.

Look at it this way..

When Fury was active before he beat Wlad. Who was there to fight around that time? This was before the emergence of Joshua, Whyte, Ortiz and Wilder to an extent.

Fury signed to fight Haye twice and Haye pulled out twice. He chased Klitschko until he got the fight. There was nobody really around then outside of Wlad, Haye and one or two others. The rest of the guys around were fighters like Chisora, Cunningham etc. Who he fought.

So his resume from Wlad and before wasn’t bad at all really, considering there wasn’t much around in the division.

Since his comeback, Around 18 months ago, he will have fought Wilder twice.

That picture of Fury looking all wide eyed and psycho kills me

Tyson Fury’s a trip man.

I’m pulling for Wilder though, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Fury won. Wilders there to be outboxed and Fury is there to be KOed. Man what a fight it’s gonna be.

Fury has a little love blister on his lip. Either he's already been partying with those hookers he was talking about or he was making out with Canelo.

Boring, just like the first one. Fury is not Breazeale, I don`t understand why people expect fireworks.

It’s because we want to see if Wilders gonna KO him or not. Everything he does is to set up his KO right hand.

I just watched a sports center segment on Wilder. His punch speed is faster than Mike Tyson’s punch speed was. And he measures something like, 1,300 psi in a punch.

People love KOs. You don’t even need to be a fan of boxing. You just need to love KOs.

Fury beat an old Wlad and then retired when Wlad wanted the rematch. (not to mention served a drugs ban) When he beat Wlad it was a superb result but with Fury there's always a 'but'.

I just think - this far into his career and his record just isn't that good considering. This isn't a man who believes he can beat the best. It's the record of a man who picks the fights he can believes he can win on the day.

Imagine if Buster Douglas had retired when he beat Mike Tyson.... And at least he beat a young Tyson. But because he lost the next fight against Holyfield he's not thought of as highly. Fury would never be in there against Holyfield next fight... He hasn't even defended a real belt....

[Roberto Vasquez]

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

Who else should he fight?

Fighters who are ranked above 20 would be a start. You never thought to wonder why "The best fighter in the world" is fighting bums as standard practice?

He was offered a Joshua fight at 60/40 in April 2019 and turned it down. He's not talking now like he will fight him either... AJ is hardly the scariest HW champion in history and he has 3 belts.... Fury clearly has doubts.
