That WBC article on fightnews is total BS. They Claim Fury beating Kingpin only earned him a #8 ranking while they have Wilder ranked #3 for fighting no one. I lost all respect for the WBC after reading that. Kingpin almost closed both of Vitali's eyes and the claim when Kingpin fought Fury he was only ranked #32? The WBC is corrupt as hell.
I wholly agree. The Fury hate crew is loving this right now. This is disgusting. I know the kid was heartbroken by losing his 5 mil payday, but this is fukking shameful. Fury is highly ranked by the WBO as well, and if Leapei were to pull out, 4-5 weeks from the date, that call might go out to Fury, and look at him. It'll take 4-5 months to get him back into any kindof fighting shape the way he's let himself go.:---(
Only positive from this videos is that Hughie looks like he is getting in good shape. He actually looks the part of a professional prizefighter.:think
Tyson Fury is a funny guy, but he's going to get ****ed up as soon as he fights someone worth a ****. Hell, Wilder, Arreola, abd Stiverne would handle him, so he can ****ing forget about how Wladimir would whoop his ass.
If Wilder is so good, then why won't he fight a ranked fighter, I mean a legitimately ranked fighter? I think Fury, Arreola and Stiverne would all knock Wilder out. WBC ranking Wilder #3 without his fighting anyone...................someone please explain that, the WBC will not explain it...........
Absolute Spartan...:-( I'd like to see Fury running around like that in a cow pasture, then somebody lets the bull in. "You best be runnin' faster than that bull fat boy!" After he finishes that the trainer gives Fury a jump rope and tells Fury, "if you don't impress the **** outta me with this jump rope, I'm gonna use this on you," while holding up a 44 magnum revolver
For once I agree with you derrick. That's just sad if you have Wilder and Jennings above him who beat clearly lesser quality of opposition as Fury did. On topic, Fury looks in very crappy shape. I already slightly favored Chisora in a rermatch, but now I certainly favor him.
I'm still having a laugh at this, but let's remember a couple of things. Fury just seems naturally clownish. He just does. It's that old man gait that he has, and that awful posture when he's running that makes it look so terrible. He looks awfully unathletic, no denying it. But he is a huge man (6'9") and running is never going to be something that comes naturally to him, especially on beach sand and after the festive season where people tend to pig out a bit. This is about as bad as he'll ever look. Let's see how he looks in a month or two. He is not a natural athlete like Wlad, but boxing has been filled with less-than-great athletes who have done well in the sport.
I don't see the purpose of uploading these videos. There must be more to it. Remember Fury also siad he was becoming a kickboxer in Romania. Peter Fury said after the Cunningham fight , they got more offers than ever before and eventually got a fight with Haye out of it. But then when Fury came out in the best shape of his life, Haye dumped his pant and retired. This is probably just some ruse and Fury will be in top shape in Feb.
Fury is has zero discipline and isn't made for professional boxing. He lacks the mindset, if he ever wins a belt he will lose it quickly because he will not be in shape to defend it even against B level competition.
He's done well for someone not made for pro boxing, don't you think? Even if he retired right now, one could call it a pretty successful career.
You say that but look at some basketball players for example, you can be pretty athletic even if you're a tower of a man. Some rugby players also manage to move pretty well. This guy just isn't built like a sportsman and he never will be. He's the fat kid that never got picked in team sports at school. Uncoordinated, slow and ungainly, but apparently that's enough to do well in boxing these days rofl.
