I'm reminded of Larry Olybamiwo who was massive and lean but even on gear was a terrible fighter. Good point re Fury, built like a sausage but has guile of a middleweight.
A comedic play on our pretend Army man Jim. Chris Ryan, ex SAS chap. It's one of the books Jim read that turned him into an army man. In his mind. He spent his PIP on army fatigues and two SAS memoirs = super duper army man.
https://boxing-social.com/news/tyson-fury-let-go-of-trainer-sugarhill-steward/ This is the second time that John had kicked off publicly about Sugar Hill. Same happened with Ben Davison and he was out the door.
I think big bad, world's hardest over 50 year old, fighting man John just wants to be Tyson's trainer so he can get a percentage of his fee
John Fury is so bitter than Tyson has never asked him to be his head trainer. I think it’s jealousy when he slags off Davison, Sugar Hill etc. Do agree on this instance though. Anyone with a bit of boxing knowledge knew Wilder couldn’t fight on the back foot, was hardly a Sugar Hill masterstroke and his career as a trainer outside of that isn’t much to shout about at all.
It would be interesting to see wilder in with someone decent to see how Fury's wins stack up. Wilder has fought no-one besides Fury (and that includes grandpa Ortiz)
Jim might be ex army but I struggle to believe he’s 39. It’s either a typo or his number recognition is as bad as his full stop key recognition.
Fury will sign on to a huge fight next. He’s not that stupid he knows full well the backlash he’s had and that he was king of the world a few months back. He’s made his money, knows there’s no point fighting mandatories and they mean nothing. Usyk, AJ then properly retire. He’s right to do that too, why keep getting punched in the head year after year when you have millions in the bank, soon to be 100M. He will batter AJ and beat Usyk by points unless the goes for it big time. That will cement him as a ATG (in my book if you beat an ATG you become one 90% of the time). Usyk is without doubt ATG.
