Tyson Fury is worried about his inactivity against Joshua. I see it clear as day

I agree Fury is the rightful favourite but I see it more of a 60/40 - 55/45. Nothing would surprise me really in this one.

 

He should have fought in December but he and Frank weren't going to do it unless it was on PPV.

Frank said straight out it had to be on PPV. It really didn't have to be so he only has himself to blame for the inactivity.

Activity is essential to a guy like Fury.. He didn't look in good condition when he dived into the ocean.

 

I wish Fury would fight and punch the lights out of that long haired guy who adds absolutely NOTHING to the fights.

 

An attempt to manipulate pre fight bias and place himself in the underdog position and play off the fact that underdogs often get points for just being competitive.

 

Inactivity is always a "disadvantage". That's just a constant fact of life in boxing. Fury was just stating the facts. And pointing to examples.

But anyone who has any sort of clue and has been following Tyson Fury the last few years knows he's also playing with the "fans" (his fans, and AJ's fans) and the "experts", and will, yet again, have a huge swathe of you convinced that he'll be entering the ring with doubts and demons and doomed to taste defeat, "cashing himself out", an underdog.

Then he'll probably box AJ's head off regardless of activity, and it will look even better for him.

Fury isn't the most intelligent person around but he's at least slightly more intelligent that the mean average of the "fans and experts", possibly A LOT more intelligent, and he enjoys playing this game with you all. It's easy manipulation.
He's not even that subtle but when you're used to half-wits like Whyte and Wilder and if you were ever dumb enough to fall for David Haye's schtick, for example, you're dumb enough to be pulled along by Fury again and figure him to be a no-confidence underdog looking to cash out ..... again !

 

What do you mean yet again? When have these utterances you speak of happened in the past?

 

Both Wilder fights, loads of people were convinced he was "cashing out", that he was scared deep down, that he was woefully unprepared physically and mentally, and that he was "setting up excuses".

 

Let him work that out himself.

 

No , you said Fury went into those fights with an attuite that he was going to lose and was there only to cash out. .

That never happened. Exactly when has this happened? Waiting on an answer.

Then you implied Fury has only put on weight to try and gain some sort of mental edge over Joshua.. Ridiculous.

Anybody who knows Fury knows he like to drink and especially likes to eat. He's a family man with 5 kids. He never has and never will be able to live the life of a professional athlete all year around.

He's carrying extra pounds purely because of inactivity. . He'd have to be a moron to alter his physical shape and health in some silly attempt at mind games. . 1. it ain't going to work on AJ and he's smart enough to know that.. 2. He's over 30 years old and every camp is going to get harder. He's not ballooning up and taking off at this age purposefully and its preposterous to assume he is

 

Read my post again.
I never said "Fury went into the fight with an attitude he was going to lose and was there only to cash out".
You seem to be confused.

I never mentioned Fury's weight at all. I never implied anything about his weight at all.
I never implied anything about "some sort of mental edge over Joshua".
You seem to be confused.

 

Fury wants to be the underdog, to :
1. make his victory seem "legendary" to the fans, experts and media.
and
2. to motivate himself to perform excellently.
and
3. to possibly shift the mental pressure onto Joshua.

 

How and when did he convince huge swathe's of fans of what you just claimed.. Third time asking?

When did he ever claim he was "doomed to taste defeat "?

 

Fury is not thick, far from it.

 

Fury was a clear underdog for the first Wilder fight.
He was still a slight underdog for the second fight.
Therefore, huge swathes of people thought he was heading for defeat, was going to lose.

Second fight, he invented a rumour he was injured, had loads of people thinking he had a bad leg, he walked around on fight week hiding his eyes behind sunglasses, making people think he was lacking confidence, he came in to the fight heavier than he said he would, he played up the fact that he'd only been with his new trainer for a few weeks, mentioned it often.
Of course he told us all he was going to win, but he also played all the little details up to have him an underdog again.
Just what he's doing now. Telling us all he can win but highlighting his inactivity a lot to have a load of people think he's unsure about taking the fight without a warm-up.

And i never said he CLAIMED he was "doomed to taste defeat", I am saying he manipulates the fans to think that maybe he believes he is.

Like I said, he's not even subtle with it.
But apparently subtle enough for the likes of you.
