Fury an embarrassment to boxing

This is the clean version of Fury.

Notice how quickly in the past he managed to shed 100lbs of fat earlier in his career when he and his little cousin was abusing Nandrolone.

It's not so easy now because he's having to be a good boy and lose weight the normal hard slow natural way.

 

It wasn't really Fury who stopped him though. More like Seferi just...stopped..

 

Oh no!. Fury is the first boxer in history to be inactive for 3 years and take a tune-up!. You, and losers like you, are an embarrassment to humanity. Kindly do us a favor and boycott oxygen.

 

Fury is boring. He had the power of a Middleweight.

 

The fight itself wasn't the problem....of course Fury wasn't obligated to fighting a serious opponent after years away from the ring. It's his attitude that is the issue. Thousands of hi s fans, Including many celebrities, show Up to support him and he totally disrespects the sport, his opponent and ultimately his fans.

He is a clown. A joke. A poo r excuse for a boxer. I curse Wlad Klit for losing to this POS....Fury would have descended into the obscurity that he deserves.

 

hes gonna do this at least 3 more times, not unlike haye, before the mugs start to catch on... again.

 

He calls himself the greatest of all time and was boasting the week of the fight that he could beat AJ and Wilder right now. Yet he took on a 5-foot-9 cruiserweight who not only couldn’t throw a proper punch, but didn’t even try to do so when Tyson was looking out into the crowd for 30 seconds, and who quit without being hurt.

Let’s compare that to some true greats who had layoffs:

Muhammad Ali was out longer (3 years, 7 months) and upon his return fought two top-5 heavyweights — Jerry Quarry and Oscar Bonavena — in a span of six weeks upon his return, and fought Joe Frazier (the champ) within five months of returning.

Ray Leonard came back from a layoff of nearly 3 years (2 years, 11 months, but had been off 2 years before his only fight in a span of almost 5 years total) to beat Marvin Hagler, an all-time great. Nice tune-up.

Mike Tyson was off more than 4 years and did take a tune-up vs. Peter McNeeley, a guy with a record built against losing fighters but a fighter who was (a) a true heavyweight and (b) came to fight. Tyson took him out in less than 90 seconds.
Four months later Iron Mike disposed of undefeated Buster Mathis Jr. (who had decent wins over Tyrell Biggs, Carl Williams and Alex Garcia) and within eight months of his return from prison knocked out Frank Bruno in a title fight.

Of the three, I’d still say McNeeley was a better opponent (he tried to win, did not quit, came to fight, was a true heavyweight) than Sirhan Sirhan the 5-9 cruiserweight, but let’s say they’re comparable — you and I know Fury’s next opponent won’t have a resume as good as even Buster Mathis Jr. and he certainly won’t be winning a title by knockout by February.

And none of those three — Tyson, Leonard nor Ali — showed up grossly overweight in their return bouts, none of them clowned in the ring (much less picked up their opponent like a favorite nephew or niece at the weigh-in and paraded them around and went and bought them ice cream after), none of them treated their return like a half-ass sparring session.

 

You can't in your right mind take that mindless trash talking seriously. He's clearly just talking smack to promote his fight and stir controversy. That's what he has always done and will forever do.

 

Lol you’re right,miracle he’s in the ring from where he were at.

 

Tyson Fury has no future in boxing.

 

You could also look at my whole post.

But you made the point: Fury can talk the talk; he isn’t walking the walk.

 

It's a tune-up, take it as a tune-up. All fighters, great or not, had tune-ups. It's nothing new in the sport. The trash talking is merely promotional. You just dislike the guy, that's understandable and acceptable. Give him two or three more fights tops, if he's not "walking the walk" then take your hatred to the next level.

 

In other words, pay no attention to this fight — but you’re the one trying to make it as if everyone fights a 5-foot-9 Sirhan Sirhan type in their returns, and I’ve pointed out what truly great fighters have done under similar circumstances.
