Comments Thread For: Fury Co-Trainer Andy Lee: Tyson Can Be Greatest Heavyweight Ever

[texasboi15]

I assume you are using the definitions as follows:
Greatest- most accomplished.
Best- the athlete who in a neutral environment would do the most to, or most likely would, win. Compared to all others.

Ive always cared more about best in that instance. And feel that if what you are evaluating as ‘greatest ’ consistently give you the same answer as the one who is ‘best’ then you are choosing the wrong criteriea.

I totally agree!

Aww Elie why are you still so bitter?
Best man won on the night. You were so sure the bronze bomber was gonna take out the Gypsy King
but that didn't happen. This is not a dream but it's obviously been a living hell for you. You probably can't bring yourself to even watch the highlight reel.

I heard rumors that Gypsy-John backed-out of the punch-up with Miky Theo after he found out from Noel Tierney that Micky hits bloody-hard and is tough and durable.

Judging by Tyson's pillow-fist, Gypsy-John was out-gunned and I suspect that you PETER FURY, advised your scumbag brother to avoid the slaughter.

Andy Lee

Obviously Andy Lee and Tyson Fury are drinking from the same bottle as they have both elevated Fury to a position of greatness disregarding his drug infested lackluster career.

Watch the Gypsy king Clean up the division...

And your Lame Criticism...Evaporate like a Fart in the Wind...

Please and please, Wilder is a limited fighter and we cannot assess Fury's career alone from the precincts of Wilder. Let him fight other top 5 HWs and defend belts

Can be? No. He might have come closer if he stayed away from Givens and Don King and kept Rooney as a trainer.

Big John all day long Elie, not a problem. When are you gonna make another video of Fury Wilder 3, who wins? You couldn't bring your snide little pathetic self to it because you already know how that would go. Get back to work.

Fury will go down as the greatest Cheater of all time! There’s clearly no one like him, a true enigma that got away without major press on failed PED test and lies exposed in the order of the public based on boar meat!

Christian hammer in the fight the ref caught Fury with the thumb on the glove cut off the attachment to the glove which is illegal! The UK ref was so ashamed that he shook his head in disappointment and told team Fury get another glove or they forfeit the fight but of course they had another glove in case they get caught!

In the Cunningham fight veteran referee in over 24 years RIP Eddie Cotton who reffed the fight said Tyson Fury was the dirtiest fighter he’s ever reffed and he reffed THREE Andrew Golota fights!!

It’s time Fury stops keep getting passes for his bs! Too many cowards on here not man enough and fan of boxing enough to call him out on the facts!

He's a gypsy. You can't trust a lying gypsy. What really happened was he got banned then went into depression from being caught. Guy lost his hair pretty darn quick. Then he prob fabricated a story how jesus spoke to him in a car, which was probably a hallucination being tweeked out on coke, not to kill himself... Proposed this story to his agent, and they knew this would give him sympathy and make a feel good story to sell which then lifted his ban, swept all the bad crap under the rug and bam! The new face of boxing.

Thank you for being a real boxing fan!

Too many imbeciles and fake boxing fans on here parading Fury like he’s a breath of fresh air!

He has too many violations of cheating and I wouldn’t be surprised if the admittedly hilarious cheating accusations Fury has against Wilder is somewhat true!

If more truth comes out about how Fury cheats into the limelight, more fighters will be taking more preparation for his cheating tactics!

So here is my question, can he be the greatest without fighting in an era as good as those gone by, or is being the greatest dependent on when you fight?

For example, take whomever you currently think is the greatest heavyweight ever (Ali, Louis, etc) and put them in this current heavyweight era. Are they still the greatest?

I'd like to think that greatness is a matter of how good you are, and not just an accumulation of who you beat. Now granted, better opposition helps make it more clear how great one is; but I think we can rationally evaluate a fighter in a mediocre era and compare him to others. What do you think?

Honestly thought about this a bit and I really like your take on this. At the end of the day it's all speculation and opinion. Great post, got me thinking.
