I deny that Uncle Meth was instrumental. Here's an essay about it.

What real proof is there he 'made' Fury? What is his coaching record before lucking out with one of the most talented fighters? Training Hughie? It's something, but a tiny sample. Tyson's skill sets were not developed by Uncle Meth, who basically got a finished product and just put the foot down. Tyson went through numerous coaches in his formative years. Don't forget he was being rated very highly long before Peter Peddler came along.

People need to go revisit the corner advice Meth gave Tyson in the Klitschko fight which was amateurish and borderline insane and you could see Tyson thinking 'wtf' when Meth tried to shrug off the threat of Wlad's all time great left hook. Tyson won that fight despite his uncle not because of him.

If you watch closely you'll see that Peter is a massively dangerous influence because he sells overconfidence to the fighter. Fury does have insecurities despite his bravado and looks for advice in fights and you've got this mong telling him everyone is a journeyman and/or an easy fight because of his skills. I'm sure people can see that in the Hughie context too.

Furthermore, Uncle Meth is supposed to be famous for the discipline he enforced yet Fury was still doing a fat camp every fight (or fighting fat like against Abel) and it was under guardianship of the master of methological studies that Fury went completely AWOL for the ages, one of the greatest meltdowns EVER SEEN in the sport.
Remember when Meth had no idea Fury was out doing coke on the party scene? It was some surprise to him? What the hell kind of strict regime is that then? The truth is that under Davison this fighter has never been more dedicated and for such a long period. So there goes the famous myth of Meth's strong guidance and control over Tyson.

Lastly, the great wise Uncle, due to his old career destroying the lives of British teens, is a nightmare for an international fighter because he needs special visa exemptions to get into any foreign land and can potentially be denied entry. Imagine having that problem every fight you make.

The funniest thing would be if Fury beats Wilder and gets the Juice fight, denying Meth a fortune in rake. That would burn. And I think Tyson knows this and wants to twist the knife for whatever went down.

good points- especially re the Visa, hadn't thought of that. No denying that bringing the issue up is a way to strike at Fury's heart though

Only Tyson knows what’s best for him.

Tyson will be at his most vulnerable when he is on the ropes or in the corner due to Wilders reach
