    "Whether they’re good for the sport or bad for the sport, as sportsmen, I think they’re very good, they’re phenomenally good. They are good at what they do, they are great athletes, they are great role models for the sport. What they do in their personal lives, which is what I’ve been talking about, is none of my business basically. But as sportsmen, you cannot fault these guys. They’ve sorted out the game completely. They have brought a new way of boxing. Clinical, straight-punching, no razzamatazz. Not the typical American flair that we used to see in the 70s and Mike Tyson days and Ali days. They have changed it to European style boxing. Like European cars, Mercedes, and then you’ve got the big American flash cars and all the chrome and big giant engines. Then again, when you compare car to car, refined, in your face, elegant, loud, it’s the same with all the things that they do. You’ve got to admire them for that. They live for the game. They live it, live it, live it, live it. They don’t go overweight. They are very dedicated to the sport. I think Wladimir especially, could have handled anybody in history on his day."

    Nice words from Fury, he can be respectful when he wants to be, behind all the trash talk.

    Wladdy probably has it in him to just go for Fury. He did it earlier in his career but steward came along and make him safety first.

    Fury seems a honest lad, knowledgeable in boxing also.

    He has done some daft things, feel his misquotes are made a bigger deal because he is a traveller!!

    Be ****d with this Kugan protest thing though for SPOTY, Fury an his uncle Peter, well the whole team deserve full respect, sadly his face wont fit for things like SPOTY . Think Kugs is after attention with this.

    Anyway back to my point of this, great post by London Ring Rules nice to see positive posts an respect for Tyson

    I really hope Fury goes on to be a real deal dominant champion, like the K's. They are a hard act to follow however.

    it's very very easy to be humble when your the winner, if he had lost that decision do you think he would be being quite so respectful ?

    totally irrelevant. he didn't lose did he, so why not just accept that he was gracious in victory. and judging from the way he carries himself recently I would wager he would be gracious in a fair defeat also - which we are yet to see!

    If you have listened to any of his interviews directly after his fights, he is generally very complementive of his opponents, shows respect.

    If you're judging a persons character it's COMPLETELY relevant whether he won or lost. What boxer do you know that still bad mouths his opponent after giving him a beating ?. Winners are gracious, losers make excuses, like 'toe gate' - it's just the way it is. If and when Fury gets a beating let's see if he is still the same, I'd wager he would not.
