Does the fact Fury tried to commit suicide indicate mental weakness?

[champion4ever]

It was all a publicity stunt to get attention! That lying sack of shit never tried to harm himself.

[champion4ever]

To attempt to commit suicide requires a large amount of fragility does the fact that fury attempted and failed highlight an as yet unexploited mental frailty that’ll likely be exposed further when he takes that first loss?

To commit suicide is to essentially to quit on life so chances are he could be forced to quit in the ring as well?

It was never an attempt. He only thought about it but later changed his mind.

Yes.

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.

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.

Absolutely. But you need to be smart enough to know the difference between illness and weakness to ask a question like that.

It suggests mental illness which should never be conflated with mental weakness.

Thread ender. Thank you.

Mental illness is more MSM bull****.

Any human being will eventually have to I've themselves a real self assessment and if they dont like what hey see he results can be tragic.

I understand mental illness. I just can't understand why people don't see it as a weakness.

A physical ailment in a career which requires physical prowess is a weakness, right?

So a mental illness is...

...a strength according to some on here! An inability to get yourself up for the biggest fight of your career. And you're telling me it's a strength?

To be a reigning champion requires operating with a dedication, determination and will that most of us just don't have. It's fine to acknowledge that there's a chance that Fury doesn't have it either.

I know this has **** all to do with that, but still.


Socrates is popular, but, was not a fan of boxing.

Zeon, Antisthenes, & Aeschines are ancient smarty pants who were boxing fans.

No, it indicates he's trying to take your attention off the fact that he was taking anabolic steroids while pretending he was munching on boar testicles instead.

same thing


if he had broken bones, you would say his physical injury is a physical weakness and likely to reinjure

he is mentally fragile and likely to relapse
