    Very strange how you seem to have a personal problem with someone you never met.Clearly your problem with him doesnt relate to boxing.Sounds abit obsessive.

      When you have everything and you still are suicidal then you are suffering from mental illness. You can call it weakness if you want but we all know you are just trolling.

        This thread has a real stench of character assassination about it. I'd hedge my bets and say the OP is a Wilder fan. Wondering what point he is trying to make.

          To commit suicide is to essentially to quit on life so chances are he could be forced to quit in the ring as well?
          I wouldn't call it "weakness" as such, because to do such a horrendous thing as a young man denotes strength, or .. mental storm of chaotic thoughts where he doesn'r really know what he's doing. Of course there are some completely amoral and psychologically abnormal people to whom life, theire or anyone else's means nothing more than a finger flick.

          However, knowing some of his "published" background, I'd say he was drugged out to the gills, and wasn't really serious. If he had been, he's have succeeded. Needed to attract attention...

            Bunch of ******* who watched a PBS special will say I'm ignorant, but, my mother's sister was schizo and that's not hyperbole. She died because one of her personalities always mixed **** up and mixed up her pills with her husbands. My father's sister was shot in the face by her husband who is currently pleading insanity. My best friend successfully committed suicide, and, his father murdered his mother then himself in a murder suicide. My father died of cancer, brain tumors in the end, that **** changed him too. Started hallucinating and ****.

            I know crazy, I know depression, I know lack of control, done see the spiral so many times ghosts became my friends and family.

            If I got a gimp arm it's weak. If I have a gimp leg it's weak. If my stomach can't take certain foods it's weak. So on, but, for some reason when it's the mind we say oh it's not a weakness. Like ****, it isn't.

            That said, I'm not sold on the sob story anyways. Tyson Fury's likely full of ****. He was scared of rematching Wlad.

            Nailed it. Mental health is not to be joked about, suicide and depression are horrible, I do not wish that on my worst enemy. I have had a lot of mental health issues and believe me it is way worse than any physical pain you can imagine, and I've had a lot of physical pain.

            Im not so sure I believe fury though, the way he conducted himself after the Wladimir fight and before the Wladimir fight was just disgraceful.

                All this mental stuff and suicide is all a red herring designed to detract from his PED use.

                  At the time, sure he was feeling mentally weak. That's no secret., But you could balance the post by asking "does his recovery indicate an impressive mental strength?" I'd say definitely yes. I think context is everything, especially when you talk about such a HUGE subject like this.
                  It's a cheap shot tbh that will appeal especially to those who are still bitter about you-know-what.

                    I do believe Tyson is bipolar so experiences extreme highs and lows.
                    for a fight where he's motivated, he's on a high..and it's a high high so he's untouchable.
                    so in that sense it isn't a weakness but a strength.
