Tyson Fury - Overrated, underrated or somewhere in between?

Not sure if it has been said yet, a lot of pages... but Fury is overrated

 

Are you

sure they pay that much tax?? I doubt it. And they often don’t work harder than everyone else. Often just members of the lucky sperm club.

 

People describe Fury as a compulsive liar or take his word as the truth when it suits them. Best course of action is to barely believe anything he says.

There's lots of money to be made in the Wilder fight - win or lose. Probably the second-biggest fight (financially) Fury could make after Joshua. He and ESPN will want the fight. I think it'll happen, hopefully in the early part of next year. Should have already happened this year.

 

Getting bored of Fury, don’t know how he’s going to engage US fans if even his British fans are drifting off...

 

Have lost interest in him completely. He'll be getting paid (not earning) lots of money for the WWE farce but he may as well punch every one of his boxing fans square on the chin. Not that they'd feel it..

 

7 figures for a pretend fight isn’t bad...not for the first time this year...wonder if we can expect to see Strowman in the WBO rankings in the lead up to this...

 

20 KO's from 29 fights isn't ATG material when there's only 2 top names on that record and no KO win in either fight. When it comes to heavyweight ATG's KO's matter, Fury just doesn't have it in him to produce them in big fights. Don't get me wrong, at times he's an education to watch in the ring, he's just not at ATG level yet and although an official win over Wilder would certainly push him closer to that status I can't imagine him doing enough after such a feat to cement his status as an ATG, not when there's easier fights and easy money on the table.

 

Huh?

Hes making some quick easy money why should his fans be upset by that

 

He went from very underrated to very overrated.

Prior to Klitschko the hardcore fans basically considered him a joke, a big clumsy, featherfisted, chinny dude was basically the concensus.

I know that sounds almost umbelivable now but its true.

Fury beating klitschko saw the biggest bandwagon hop in british boxing with only the Groves-Froch 1 and 2 debacle coming close to exposing how little the "hardcores" actually know

Fury went from criminally underrated to elevation to near deity status, too slick, too quick, too much skill for anyone.

I mean he did a bit better than szpilka vs wilder and went life and death with wallin since kkitschko and thats about it.

I maintain him as a tricky, rangey fighter but his lack of power and substance when his showmanship and trickery fail him remain a problem. He's not a structured boxer and cant fall back on an accurate punishing jab. As wallin shows he does tend to become clumsy, awkward and innefective if one simply ignores his feints and just goes at him.

 

Because his fans are presumably interested in him boxing and demonstrating his elite literally unhittable brilliance. Not slapping a couple of bums around and mincing about in WWE.

End of last year you had people (basically Hattonmad) saying this year would see Fury emerge as a true global superstar, beat Wilder in the rematch and cement his legacy. Instead he’s won no titles, beaten a couple of nobodies and ended up in panto.

 

Because he’s been given a free pass for fighting run cans with the promise of the wilder fight. He shunned the immediate rematch, it’s been pushed back again to early next year (feb) and now he’s suggesting another delay because of WWE...that’s taking his boxing fans for mugs...

 

I dont think that theres much if any risk of the cut reopening, these WWE guys are trained pros, they know how to do this stuff and how to avoid causing injury. Most likely fury will take a near hug then "ko" the wrestler with a combo that'll be about it.

He cant fight in a real fight at the moment so this is just a bit of spectacle. It gets him out of the house for a month and hes training in the gym with the wrestlers

Im not a big fan of fury but meh this isnt worth grumbling about imo.

 

But he’s said his boxing career might have to be put on hold for his WWE career...
