Froch is SMW - 168lb fighting weight. Fury is 230+. That's a hell of a difference and there's no way in hell that Carl could bridge it. If Fury was trying to bring it to Carl then he's a coward and a bully.
Ali was as well known for his mouth, as he was for his boxing prowess. The talking he did prior to the Liston fight secured him a place in boxing history, whatever the outcome of the fight. Fury's antics were just a cheap version of Ali's, and nothing to do with WWE, and far from classless. As for me comparing Fury to Ali, i'm not even going to bother answering that.
I was asking if you thought Fury's antics were comparable to Ali's not his boxing! I agree that what he did before the Liston fight helped Ali but once Ali was the champion did you ever see him chasing around the other fighters in his division? Tyson beat the best at Heavyweight and imo it should be the other fighters trying to earn their shot at him. Does he need Deontay Wilder? No way!! So why jump around the ring acting the fool when there is no real end game for it? There is a very real chance that Deontay gets beat by Povetkin so will Fury be waiting at their fight to pounce into the ring?
As a professional athlete and world heavyweight champion I really don't think alcohol can be used as an excuse mate!
Ali is the most famous boxer ever. Fury has done well for himself but no comparisons to The Greatest please.
Apparently he was slightly tanked up with the Polish fans although he didn't do anything particularly controversial last night. Wilder is eventually going to get found out although I doubt it's Fury who ends up beating him.
I found it a bit embarrassing really. Real beef with real emotion is enticing, but Fury throwing his top down and bouncing around like a drunk outside a bar who is pretending to be hard, but really doesn't want to fight and Wilder shouting "Bombsquad", is not real. It is the type of fake rubbish we are seeing more of these days to "help build the fight". It does get a few more bums on seats from people too stupid to see through it, but the more prevalent it gets the less the effect will be. As unsavoury as their antics were at the Munich press conference, Haye-Chisora caught the publics imagination much more than Fury will with Wilder as that was real.
God's sake people. You've all whinged about Klitschko and how he's bored everyone to tears for 10 odd years. Now you have someone bringing a bit of personality to the division and it's considered classless. What do people exactly want... What is the right amount that would satisfy people?
It's no different to boxers talking **** about their opponent in the build up to a fight. That has been going on in boxing for as long as I can remember, we all know they don't really mean most of the insults they dish out but it promotes the fight, that is effectively what Fury was doing the other night.
You wouldn't want every boxer to be like him but the sport NEEDS a Fury. Just be amused and understand the business side, don't get suckered into being annoyed. The fact is Wilder looked quite average and without his power (which is a decent leveler tbf) he'd just about be top 10 in a weak division and despite Fury's clowning and antics he's actually a better boxer than Wilder. Look how much trouble Wilder had with a southpaw tonight, Fury could really bamboozle him switching; like he did Klitschko. People still talk about Fury hitting himself as a novice, look at Wilder swinging and missing by a metre and swinging himself to the floor in the 7th as a World Champion. I know 'it's just sparring' but watching Haye dominate Wilder again - I don't really see any improvements from Wilder when you compare the movement, speed etc from that and tonight. I think Haye (as long as his injury actually is properly recovered), AJ and Fury all beat Wilder. Hell, I'd probably slightly favour Whyte over Wilder.
I'll be honest mate, I punched myself in the face in a karate tournament when I was about 10. Threw a short inside right uppercut but saw a straight left coming for my face and ducked forward and to the right instinctively. Hurt too, I could bang lol
I've always liked Tyson Fury and still always like Tyson Fury.. the comments he made were pro design.. I'm sure if assjuice created life.. religious minded people like Fury would probably praise whatever design is in place.. That's why I don't dislike him.. he's pro Jesus.. not ****phobic.. But.. sifting through all the videos just now.. made me realise the fans he's attracting lol.. I think there was a case just recently about a white couple creating a white only dating website.. and he said "don't hate my site.. I used to date a black chic".. So while there didn't appear to be anything sinister when you visited the site.. you have black dating websites.. asian dating websites.. I'm not sure how they work but lets say you have them anyway.. It's the people the site is attracting.. it's not about preferring white women.. it's about disliking non white women.. Pride sites.. is a human pride from subhuman.. that's why white pride is different.. or say hetro***ual pride.. because hetro***ual people can marry.. Unless of course it's design pride like pro Jesus.. that's different.. because it's not hating anybody.. It's not an ism of race.. it's just equality.. Oscar De La Hoya said there's no race ism in boxing.. but there's definitely ****phobia.. Religious people are different.. they read a book or go to church every sunday.. They only believe in what they say.. they don't say everything they like to believe etc..
The fans he's attracting aren't fully "good" like Princess Leia.. some of them are Michael Jackson "bad"..
