    Can I ask you please if perhaps you might belong to one of the 'persecuted' groups that The Furious One has offended during some of his more unsavoury outbursts?

    And can I also ask you please what your favourite song is by the musical artist Elvis Presley?

    Exactly, Vitali came straight in against Sam Peter and beat the career out of him. That was an alpha comeback.

    Fish eyes will have Fury still fighting bums this time next year- because they are looking for a cash grab rather to actually become world champion again and then defend it for years

    no, i am not a persecuted group. i am a white, heterosexual middle class male. no idea why you want to know about Elvis Presley. he was my dads favorite. i always liked "In the ghetto" but i would be hard pressed to name an absolute favorite. My gf and I went to the Coronado theatre in Rockford and saw the Elvis tribute impersonators back over the winter.

    Oquendo will be coming back at 40 plus and more than four years out of the ring, against Charr.

    Fury ran like a ***** from a career high payday in the contractually obligated rematch. Wlad should sue him for millions.

    OK cool.

    I bet that was a blast. I have never seen them myself though

    I ask you because it's a test.

    In The Ghetto is a more than acceptable answer so you've passed the test (it's one of my favourites of his too)

    Congratulations you win not one but two songs as your prize

    I'm about to make my long overdue departure to hit the hay (it's 7:30 am here and I'm operating on 3 hours of sleep) but these are two of my all time favs of his

    Vitali came back after a 4 year layoff, but Vitali never got out of shape...................Fury got way out of shape, became ill, lost over 100 lbs in 5 months, so he had to fight an easy fight to get his timing back, to test himself a little bit. His next fight will be against a better fighter, the next even better then top ten, then he will easily knock Wilder out, after that he will beat Joshua. Problem is how to get Wilder to fight someone other that Sconiers and Nichols level opponents.........................Fury should have fought Dustin Nichols and Sconiers, then Wilder fans would be talking about how impressive Fury was, that he beat two hall of fame fighters, Wilder's best competition!

    He will, he never pretended he would fight Joshua in his first fight back.................he also plans on losing a little more weight, but over 100 lbs in 5 months?! Damn! Actually after the 2nd round he threw a few punches, his right hand was as quick as a snake! Hell, his opponent was far better than Horn! Crawford should be ashamed, but there is not shame in boxing's crooks! Pac was cheated after beating the hell out of Horn! I could see it, Teddy Atlas could see it, but some did not want to see it...................

    Yes he did. He said multiple times he could come back and beat AJ / Wilder in his first fight.

    A bit of a reality check is needed for Fury and his fans.

    He’s NEVER been an elite level fighter. Other than the WK fight (which Wlad was terrible and had probably already lost before he stepped in the ring due to the mind games). He’s got no good wins on his card. Scrape the barrel and find Chisora and ****ing hammer! Other than that his resumé is padded with cruisers and bums.

    The man could move though and was very unorthodox and moved like no heavyweight before. He had talent in that sense and that set him apart from the rest. Last night he looked fat, far less fleet footed and almost like he had forgotten what to do! His lack of power was once again evident and we walk know he has a suspect chin...

    He’s never fought anyone on the level of Joshua/Parker/Wilder/Povetkin/Ortiz.

    White, straight, Christian, conservative men are the most persecuted people in the western world at the moment.

    I believe that they will want to go all the way. It's clear though, that it's going to take some time.
