Tyson Fury - Overrated, underrated or somewhere in between?

He went down with absolute exhaustion in the 12th against Parker. He also almost went through the ropes against Chisora in the 12th and they kept him up. Then of all a sudden he’s not only comfortably going 11-12 rounds against Rivas and Chisora 2 (after suffering a KD in the 9th) but he’s also carrying power. Then he gets flagged for having an adverse finding in his doping sample...

 

Through the years I have liked many boxers including Frank Bruno, Chris Eubank Jnr and Snr, Errol Spence, Nigel Benn as well as Joe Calzaghe, Hatton etc.

Colour not an issue for me and Fury not on my list of puddings.

 

Whyte is definitely a pudding

 

He tripped up he didnt get a KD by Rivas it happens but whatever

And what does the adverse finding have to do with this conversation or are you just injecting random points?

Dillian Whyte was A. Overweight B. Pushing the pace as the aggressor and C. Is a heavyweight in general against Parker thus what do you really expect from him to do 12 rounds like a lightweight? It doesn't work that way inly in the comics if you are an X man

You need to be more realistic and pragmatic in your views on heavyweight boxing

Furthermore, Whyte unlike parker didnt take rounds off, he stayed consistent in being the aggressor whereas Parker took time off not throwing much or answering back in the mid to late rounds feeling sorry for himself

I admit Ruiz is a heavy fat slob with good stamina but bot everyone like Ruiz he is the 1 per cent

 

The amateur bout between AJ and Whyte was very very relevant

 

Id like to see you call out Fury for being a pudding on espn and wallin schwarz PPVs then and all is forgiven

 

Never PPV fights mate but it is hard to call a man a pudding when he is undefeated in his only 2 World Title fights against the elite in the division.

 

Why

 

He got chinned because of his poor footwork and went down from it. He was buzzed, not massively but enough for him to have to cover up for 10-20 seconds.

The adverse findings suggest an intake of dianabol which would have contributed to an increase in size, power and stamina. That’s why I made the point. It coincides with his improvement in the Chisora (2) and Rivas fight despite being heavier.

Parker’s workrate dipped significantly in that fight due to being head butted in a round he was winning which also resulted in a 3 point swing. I feel quite sorry for Parker in how he’s been screwed by officials against both Whyte and AJ.

 

Thought so

Confirmed bias, and they say you hate everyone equally hahahaha man

 

AJ said so

 

Whyte got demolished in the rematch.

 

I dont feel sorry for Parker, fighters know not to make excuses and they should learn not to leave it in the hand of the judges.

Parker is way faster than whyte and that speed swings fights in your favour and yet it availed him nothing, he would have learnt everything that went wrong from the aj fight to get it right for the whyte fight and yet he did try harder and Whyte fought the best version and still won

 

Nah he lost the fight

 

He was on the bottom rope and didn't know where he was. He got a savage beatdown then got finished by a brutal uppercut. His chin was never the same after that.
