    :think

    I ask the question because there are some more quotes from him in the Sunday Mirror regarding John McDermott and Frank Maloney.....

    Must admit I find him pretty amusing at times though he does take it a bit far on occasion.

    ''There's nothing personal between me and McDonut''

    ''Big Bad John isn't a bad nickname.... he is big and he's not very good''

    ''I've been sparring with some big Ukranians''

    There is even more from his father in the issue of Boxing Monthly, he seems like a right bullshitter :nut

    Thoughts?

    I think he's funny and a good addition to the division.

    +1. People were complaining about a boring division a year ago- guys like Fury are just what boxing needs. I voted for 'not fussed' because I'm genuinely not bothered by him. Most of his comments are purely hype and it's not like he's saying anything derogatory about his foe's outside of the ring. Characters are what makes this sport even more exciting. His gypsy dad is hilarious as well. Up the Fury:good.

    Yeah I was the 'other' not fussed. I would have put that I found him funny until he made that comment about there being no decent trainers in the Manchester area ?? Fat gypsy **** !

    Not fussed. He seems OK. He talks a bit of **** now and again but thats just part of promoting his boxing career.

    I like him a lot. He has a glint in his eye when he does his trash talking.

    I would have gone to the Mcdermott fight if it was (as originally scheduled) at York Hall, but I'm looking forward to seeing it in telly now. I think Fury wins in 2

    I dont really care either way. I dont tend to pay much attention to personalities as i dont think they are ever a true representation of the person outside the boxing life. One thing is sure though , these knob heads that no one likes, you all talk about them.... any publicity as they say!

    Fury makes me laugh, he just says the first thing that comes into his head and doesnt care. He is a character and is good for the game.

    I am not fussed about what he say's. He can be funny and sometimes annoying but not enough for be take take against him. The lad is a good addition to the domestic division.

    fury is good for the sport its what we need, im sick of hw's having too much repect for each other and the better hw is the one who has more letters infront of their name ie wlad, bring it back to teh days of holmes doing drop kicks off cars, fury brings that excitement and he has the gypsy status which adds excitement there is a huge buzz around ireland within the gypsy community they think he is the next coming of joe louis, did anyone know fury is closely related to andy lee, just thought id fill you all in on that vital bit of info

    Yeah there was an excellent review of Irish boxing in Boxing Monthly this month and it stated that Andy Lee's granny and Tyson Furys granny are sisters....

    I think his comments are very much tongue in cheek, he'll never bad-mouth a guy without a huge grin, it's not as though he actually hates these guys, he's just getting his name out there and adding a bit of spice to the division.

    McMuffin is better than McDonut :deal:)

    Anyway, I think he is a good character (I did think he was a right twat at first) and makes me laugh at times - especially when talking about Maloney :yep
