    Actually his name was originally Eubanks but he shortened it to Eubank.

    But its irrefutable
    He'd draw the curtains on witter but not Tyson
    And whilst breath taking you cant deny the double standards of your hero and yourself
    And as a wicky fan and speaking of insecurities and weakness lol
    Yet again double standards

    Part of the problem discussing the yips is that it isn't a clinical term, and the underlying reasons for it are not fully understood. The commonly accepted definition though is the sudden and inexplicable loss of motor skills categorised by spasms, twitches, etc, generally relating to an action that has been practised repeatedly over a sustained period of time.

    In theory this could affect any sportsman where motor skills are involved, including boxing. However, there haven't been any noteworthy cases as far as I'm aware in combat sports, so it isn't clear how the yips would actually manifest itself in a boxing scenario - inability to throw punches altogether, poor punch technique, accuracy way off or whatever.

    With Fury-Klitschko, the obvious explanation is that Fury outboxed an aging fighter, who had relied for the previous 10 years on controlling distance before letting his punches go. When faced with an opponent where he couldn't control distance, and who presented him with unusual angles, he found it difficult to throw punches. There are clear technical and physical reasons for what happened without searching for obscure motor skill disorders. It fits in with what we know about boxing, fighters and in-ring dynamics.

    The only apparent reference point for the yips theory appears to be David Haye. Haye does not to my knowledge have any inside knowledge of the Klitschko camp, nor is he an expert in sports science and psychology beyond being a high-level participant. He also, to put it bluntly, has a reputation for talking out of his arse.

    It's fine to stick with the Klitschko yips theory if that's what you want to believe. I can't see where there is any credible evidence for this though.

    What exactly is irrefutable? The only irrefutable thing here is the amount of time and effort you've put into your false assumptions. You've no idea my opinion on Hatton then or now, never mind my opinion in relation to his opinion of Witter. You've made the whole thing up in your head. Quite embarrassing really.

    People change and opinions change, including my own. My account is ten years old by the way. Boxer says something to suit his agenda: Shock, horror!

    Now go and have a lie down, you must be tired after your hectic morning on ESB.

    Your a little piece of ****, quoting things I didn’t say.

    I said fury didn’t beat the man who beat the man, which he didn’t. He beat one man only.

    Hey, I’m just giving you some facts about me, that’s just surface my dear little friend. Look, if your in a little council house struggling to pay the bills, working as a labourer. Don’t worry about it. As Maslow would say, you’ve got your motivation to reach the top, just a shame you never will with your unfortunately low understanding of simple matters

    Your so biased by your love for fury you cant see straight. Fury is done, he’s cashing out, he struggled in his twocome back fights against fighters even Dave Allen would KO in a couple of rounds. Fury is shot. When he gets brutally KOd, admit yourself to a mental health clinic. Don’t fall into the category of the biggest killers amongst men - suicide.

    Now please stop putting words in my mouth and spouting ****.

    Oh look, it's captain happiness, back again, spreading joy and wisdom to the users of the forum! We missed your unconditional cheerfulness. Great to have you back pal!

    Fury beat 27 men. One of which was the main man in the division at the time, and had been for the best part of a decade. What exactly is your point? There's nothing wrong with my understanding of things. Your literary communication is poor mate. You're not getting your point across at all.

    With all due respect, I'd advise you to keep your facts about you to yourself. This is a boxing forum and you're coming across terribly insecure. I'm very happy with my life thank you very much and happier again I don't feel the need to list my accomplishments on an internet forum to faceless profiles.

    I've never lived in a council house before but why would it matter if I did? You're stooping a bit low there mate. I'm sure many posters do live in council houses. Coupled with a little joke about suicide and you really are a shining light on this forum. So happy, so successful. A very admirable person alright.

    I'm a big Fury fan, get over it. I back him when I feel it necessary. The irony of your statement is I'm actually one of the more unbiased posters on the forum. I don't care if a guy is matchroom/ queensbury/ black/ white/ asian/ british/ Irish/ American/ a boxer/ a puncher/ whatever. I assess each fighter on his ability and personality and draw my own conclusions.

    I wholeheartedly believe Tyson Fury is the best heavyweight boxer on the planet today, and have faith he'll show it to the world over the next few years. If it's not to be, it's not to be. He'll always be my favourite fighter because of the countless hours of fun he's given me over the years, inside and outside the boxing ring. If that bothers you, it's just another one of your very evident flaws.

    Oh, I nearly forgot, you're a flawless individual, aren't you!

    Again your making things up again, I’ve never claimed I was ‘admirable’ so I have no idea why you would mention then. Successful yes, not admirable.

    Honestly, stop talking about ‘insecurity’ its for weak minded people. Something that, along with all these ther made up mental health problems, have become a big thing in recent times.

    How can you conclude Fury is the best boxer on the planet on the back of his last two fights? The answer is your bias/clouded judgement. He’s finished, you’ll soon see when Wilder knocks him out cold.
