    Maybe a tad extreme but pretty much my views also. Fury took his fans for a ride

    Have you tried stand-up mate? Because that post had me in stitches.

    Look, I’m not in Fury’s corner the way I was back in 2018, but let’s not rewrite history. He went into Wlad’s backyard, beat the dominant champ on his own turf, and schooled him in and out of the ring when everyone was predicting he’d get sparked the first time Klitschko landed.

    Then yeah, he went off the rails — three years on the ****, blew up to nearly 30 stone — and still came back to take Wilder to school. That first fight alone, rising like the Undertaker in the last round, was the stuff of legend. People say “Wilder who?” now because Fury knocked the soul out of him across that trilogy.

    And what “real fights” has he actually avoided? Only Joshua — and that was signed before Deontay dragged him into court to force the third fight.

    Sure, his act hasn’t aged well, but that’s more about who he is outside the ring. Inside it, he’s the best Brit by far since Lewis. If he hadn’t disappeared during his peak, he’d have dominated and probably retired with 20+ defences

    NOT Fury, the Money Men - the Backers and Owners... Boxing IS a BUSINESS and sadly barely a sport !!!

    Fury was commodity they knew they could Captalise on - Cha ching.

    a GIANT S-HW,
    a Traveller,
    a Singer,
    a bit of a Character
    a Sideshow 'they' Milked...

    Happily Fury benefitted from these Parasitic Devils, but the truth IS, Corruption & Money gets the job done.

    Great Guy, 3rd tier fighter, 2cd at best!

    Fury won 3 title eliminators to get to Klitschko, what are you talking about.

    Fought 3 title eliminators & lost his IBF position after the Haye rigmarole all while being promoted by the very low key smokey bacon Hennessy. Its unbelievable some of the revisionist history in recent years
