I imagine it's equally irritating to others to see one person so habitually driven to the sort of praise that sounds like it's come out of North Korea. 'He done the impossible' says one Fury fanatic about an outcome the bookies had priced up at 4/1. God knows what you made of Japan beating South Africa in the rugby, or Palace beating Man City last month, or Leicester winning the league, because if Fury winning was doing the impossible, what was that? Divine intervention? Some form of mass hallucination? Aliens? I think we're getting to the truth with your 'uneducated' line, and I've seen this mentioned elsewhere on here. A guy posted not long ago that far from not 'getting' Tyson Fury, there wasn't actually anything TO get. He's a big, awkward, difficult opponent with limited output and limited power. He's not garbage, but he's not the heavyweight Mayweather either. I think people like yourself want others to think they know more about boxing than anyone else because they can appreciate the brilliance in a fight where one man lands six punches a round, one man lands four, nobody ever gets hurt and they're left in thrall to the defensive brilliance whilst the dim-witted casuals are watching Arturo Gatti highlights and brainlessly tuning into uncultured brawls. I for one don't buy it. Nobody got into boxing to watch tedious stuff like Klitschko Fury. You're the boxing equivalent of the football bore who pretends he'd rather watch Sam Allardyce nil nil draws than a 4-3 last minute thriller.
Wrong again chief. I'm a genuine fan of a great boxer. You're just a hater with an agenda. You're the only poster on the forum who has an issue with me. The whole forum has an issue with you as we see mentioned every day. I done a poll on here a while back simply asking " Do you think Tyson Fury is a boring fighter?" The outcome was 50/50. Go find it for reference. So I'm not some lunatic who loves Sam Allardyce 0-0 draws. I'm one half of boxing community who appreciates elite, conservative, technical ability.
If you're just a regular fan without an agenda why do you have to overstate everything when it comes to Fury? It's like the guy can do no wrong. 'Wouldn't change anything' when it comes to 'an absolutely elite performance' which demonstrated his ability to 'literally do the impossible' on his way to becoming 'unquestionably the greatest heavyweight in the world' in a showing that demonstrated 'not just unbelievable heavyweight brilliance but genuine pound for pound level brilliance.' This is the sort of stuff you keep saying and it makes you look very agenda driven.
A.) I wouldn't change anything from That night. That performance brought me more joy watching a boxing match than any other. Why would I change it? B.) It was an elite performance. C.) For me, he's unquestionably the greatest heavyweight of this era. A huge amount of people agree with that. I'm perhaps a little bias in my assessments of Tyson Fury. That's human nature. But at least my opinions are organic. I believe in them 100%. I can appreciate both sides of the coin, which is why I rate Anthony Joshua and indeed Deontay Wilder. It's why I can be for or against matchroom, queensbury or whatever promotional company. That's the difference between you and me Hayers.
You can believe what you like but it often looks very over the top. This is me being 100% honest, but I don't see how someone who presumably spent time watching (and enjoying) the likes of Duran, Hagler, Leonard and Hearns, who then went through the next few decades watching fights like Chavez Taylor, Gatti Ward, Barrera Morales, Corrales Castillo, Bowe Holyfield, Tyson Holyfield, Vazquez Marquez, from a domestic point of view the likes of Benn Eubank, the rise of Hamed, Calzaghe beating Lacy, Froch Bute, Joshua Klitschko, Khan Maidana, Hatton Tszyu, Haye Mormeck, or even if you're just an absolute purist watching someone like Mayweather school Canelo or seeing Hopkins taking Pavlik apart. I don't see how someone who would watch all of that would then end up saying nothing in boxing has given them more pleasure than watching Klitschko v Fury. I genuinely don't get it at all.
It's quite simple Hayers. Tyson Fury is my favourite fighter of all time. The Dusseldorf win is his best. That's it in a nutshell. I've no idea why it bothers you. If I want to watch a fight for pure entertainment purposes I may delve into the Hagler/Hearns/Duran/Leonard era but that's before my time. I saw none of that live. I grew up watching Hatton and thoroughly enjoyed that era but Hatton came up short against the best unfortunately. Tyson is beating the best. It's perfectly normal to be a huge fan of a fighter. It's bizarre on the other hand to be such a hater of a particular fighter. And it's pure abnormal to be obsessed with one promotional outfit. Which is why we know you're not a genuine boxing fan.
You seem to think it bothers me that you're absolutely in thrall to Tyson Fury. It doesn't whatsoever, but it does make me wonder why. Why has this light hitting, low output, virulently homophobic man become someone you like more than any other boxer in the history of the sport?
Stop trolling ffs. He’s stated many times why he’s a fan of Fury yet you continue to try and prod over it. Repeating yourself over and over. I’ve got on with almost everyone on this board over last few years but you’re a full on, attention seeking tool.
No you don't have to have an agenda to think that one promoter is better than another. I actually agree with you. I think taking all things into consideration, Hearn is a better promoter than Warren. British Boxing is now flourishing and most of that is down to Hearn, Hearn used one of the oldest tricks in the books in business and he simply reinvented the wheel but he did a fantastic job at it. And It would be interesting to see where British Boxing would be hadn't Hearn come along. Not doing as well as it is, I would wager. Tony my point was that you seem to push the Hearn, MR, A.J narrative to the point of obsession. When someone pushes a narrative as passionately as you do, I find it hard to believe you have no connection at all to the above. I dont know, maybe it is your dislike of Frank that pushes you along.
Absolutely. This is the point. It's not trolling and it's a genuine question to something I genuinely can't understand. I mean, the guy's name is Hatton fan. Ricky Hatton was involved in some the best nights for British boxing, and I can't believe anyone who was (is) a fan of Ricky Hatton can look back on the Tszyu fight and not think it was brilliant. But Hatton was all action. Fury is the opposite. He's borderline no action. The other thing I find odd is him saying 'unfortunately Hatton was beaten at the highest level.' And? Do you start following a fighter, enjoy watching their progress, then they lose and suddenly 'well, they were never that good?' If Fury ends up getting destroyed by Joshua does our man decide actually it's Joshua who's now his favourite?
I've noticed a lot of the responses on here can be homophobic. Not saying this is, but in a lot of the talk about Fury on here I end up being repeatedly called gay. It's vaguely amusing in a childish sort of way, but it does raise questions (and possible answers) about the mindset of people who absolutely love a guy who wants gay people killed.
I’ve never once made any homophobic reference to you or anyone else on here. Utterly bored of you now.
