Pulev said Fury is fighting bums but now he's Cherry Picked "De Mori" to beat up on! The same cab driver pizza delivery boy that Haye cherry picked a few years ago! I'm getting sick of these pizza boy fights!
Say this thread was true, what if Fury was shot all along and wilder isn’t actually any good? Wilder has still beaten nobody.
No cause for concern. The big lad is fine. The bullet failed to penetrate and was lodged about 45 centimeters into the abdominal fat layer. His paunch will be healed sooner than the eye cut.
I recently watched highlights of Fury's fight with Cunningham, and there was no resemblance between him then and now. He had much quicker hands and feet back then. He used to throw some of his punches with serious intent, and looked nimble while doing it. He has slipped considerably since then.
Do you think so? Nah, He adapted and changed his game since then is all, he's defo not slipped since that cunningham fight, he was getting caught loads and even dropped by cunningham, the much much smaller guy, such a fighter wouldn't touch the fury of today. Fury is a much more rounded fighter than back then. (as long as fury isnt the fury we seen last week going forward that is lol)
You can't expect a fighter that has taken almost 3 years off while abusing his body in every imaginable way to be able undo the damage. He's a huge man and while that has it's advantages, it also makes it easier to see the changes . While Tyson's defense was always suspect, his intangibles such as his vitality, enthusiasm, and love for the game have lessened . Even though he was dropped, his energy during the Cunningham fight was at a completely different level than it is today. He's an old 31.
Does majority decide who wins fights? Last time I checked there were 3 judges ring side, who's job is to determine the winner. Fury is garbage with a terrible resume, who was nearly stopped by a #46 ranked fighter.
We're not talking about the damage he has done to himself.. That's a different matter altogether. You said he's worse a fighter now than then, which he clearly isn't. That's what I meant. He's definitely not a lesser fighter now than he was in that cunningham fight, no way in a million years. Yes, He changed things and became more defensive and probay looks a little different in there now in comparison but he's defo not a lesser fighter now than he was then. Although his last outing was poor you can't judge a slip on that performance.
Unless he lost convincingly and looked horrible in doing so, a case might be made. But he came back and won convincing so at this stage none us of know anything for certain. But what we can definitively say is that his right eyebrow is probably shot.
Hehehe. By the way, dunno if you like the oval but I'll be in Thomond Saturday for the Pro 14 opener.
You can't assess his current state without including his recent disastrous past. His performance against Otto was lackadaisical and indicative of declination. He's past his "best before" date.
Think about that, he is "garbage" yet Wilder got a gift with the majority thinking he lost. What does that say about Wilder?
Wilder is an exciting glass cannon, he doesn't call himself the best boxer of all time and then gets embarresed by a Swedish cab driver like Fury. I think Wilder should KO Fury in the rematch anyway. Fury was close to being stopped in 2 of his last 3 fights.
