    I definitely didn't give him a shot in 2016. I remember seeing him before and thinking he'd do well to medal, let alone arguably win gold like he should have done, if not for the corruption of amateur boxing.

    But that Olympic run made me take notice and realise there was more to him and I followed his early career closely. It was the Jennings fight that made me a believer as he showed he could move well and wasn't just some stiff upright amateur with no head movement, hiding behind a high guard.

    I had enough faith in him to pick him as a clear favourite over Dubois even though many people, like I had prior the Olympics, didn't favour him to win. So he definitely shouldn't be written off, as you've pointed out he has a habit of surpassing peoples expectations of him.

    At first, like we all did, you believed what your eyes were telling you even though they were lying to you

    But, unlike these filthy infidels, you listened to what your brain was telling you

    If he's as bad as what it first appears and what many will have us believe he is how comes he's beating all these elite amateurs, progressed to the final and deserved to win the gold medal?

    If he's as bad as many will have us believe he is how comes he's beaten all these good pros too?

    It makes no sense

    There must be more to him than meets the eye

    And now you're a convert to The Holy Church of Big Joe

    The Unified heavyweight champion of the world who's never ducked a fight and always beat the best on their home turf wants time to heal and visit his family.

    Then, if Fury is still running, he'll come back, box circles around Joyce like he did in the ams, and walk away with another scalp to add to his collection.

    After Klitschko, how much time did Fury need off, to deal with his mental problems?

    Fury will always have mental health problems

    But to accept he had issues and to get out of the rut which had been building for a long period took him nearly 3 years.

    To stay out of a rut? if he ever sinks back down again it's over for him. He's managing pretty well right now but still is clearly an absolute crackhead.

    He'll become undisputed that's about it. Then he will probably die.

    Only then will people give him respect because people are scum.

    God bless Tyson Fury

    Maybe, he has improved vastly since Usyk boxed his ears off in the amateurs.

    I would say yes, but at 37 he obviously don't have that much time. Even if he were to lose, I think he could still come back to win one.

    If he was 27 - 100% yes.
