Tyson Fury is on the cusp of the greatest ever comeback in boxing

Fury looked like crap v Pianeta. Why should he look better v Wilder?

 

even then he wouldn't have beaten anyone special in his career. a forty yo champ in a staring match and a bunch of untalented bums.

 

It is exactly correct.

 

All the men you mentioned had real reasons for being out. Fury just wanted to party his ass off for 2.5 years.

 

I would say Wilder has no more than a puncher's chance - except that I don't know how much permanent damage (if any) Fury did to himself between the end of 2015 and mid-2017. Some, I would expect, but we can't really know.

I think Fury's comeback has been incredible partly because it's been so-well managed. If Fury had seemed a greater threat than he revealed against his last two opponents - than surely Haymon/Di Bella would not make this fight. An AJ-Wilder fight would have been inevitable...I suspect they believe they can increase their purse share if Wilder stops a non-threatening Fury first.

It's a poor decision.

- If Wilder stops Fury - then most will just conclude it was a joke of a fight (even if it wasn't) and there's no leverage gained against Hearn.
- If Fury beats Wilder (which I'm 85% sure he will) - 'nuff said.

 

His dodging the UKAD was for his test from the fight before Wlad. For popping for a performance enhancer, not for his positive cocaine test. I've read the statements from the UKAD. I followed it all along the way. Obviously you haven't.

 

They can ACCUSE of anything they want. The only thing proven was his cocaine use, which was the reason for his "dodging."

The PEDS levels were trace, and, by their own report, could have been due to diet. Period. End of story.

 

Vitali coming back was more impressive

 

The end of the story is that he refused to comply or even communicate with UKAD for almost two whole years... in regards to his legitimately positive results for a banned PED in a drug test during competition.

 

Irrelevant...

 

All these so called Fury fans had no faith in the man. He looked great on Saturday night.

 

I think it very relevant. Indeed. He had 3 chances to win and against 2 weak champions, and beat one of them. A smaller heavyweight who didn't move his feet much who stood in front of him? The reason Morrison won is because he moved around and used his jab and he had a nice counterpunch which kept George a little respectful. I was surprised Morrison won and the way he won.

 

Again...still irrelevant to the topic.

 

very relevant. I like George but his comeback was entertaining and guys could not be hit by him since he could knock down a tree, but he was given 3 chances against 2 guys moving up in weight and one guy who was rather limited. He beat one of three.
