Tyson Fury - Overrated, underrated or somewhere in between?

It’s nothing to do with hype really. Everyone knows Fury doesn’t sell. The Klitschko rematch sold terribly, his last UK fight saw him booed out of the ring it was so boring, and last time he fought in a venue that had about nineteen thousand empty seats in it and tickets were literally being given away to people on the street.

I’m not knocking Fury for wrestling; I think he’d probably be quite good at it. But he’s doing it for money.

 

Mah i mean its hype him saying he could get injured, trying to make it seem dangerous.

I agree his profile is rubbish but interestingly if you go on youtube his wwe vid from a week ago is the second most viewed fury vid on youtube. So it gets some eyes on him.

 

Fury is going to meet a puncher more accurate and disciplined than Wilder and POW!

I'll be so glad when Captain Arm Punch is taken out of there. Who'd a thunk a guy who doesn't seem to understand leverage got to be a champ (much less lineal) in this day and age?

 

He's only going to fight Wilder if this latest PR stunt nosedives like all the rest of them have.

 

He is just selling the WWE match
It poses very little risk to anything boxing related

 

Hope Tony Hayers will be adding this classic to his playlist

 

Wilder Ortiz is Nov 23rd, so it's unlikely Wilder is ready or willing to fight in Feb.

Tyson has said so much rubbish that no one believes anything he says now. The only thing I will take out of his comment is that he is done. He ran from the Wilder re-match and has achieved little since then and has crossed over to more ridiculous antics in WWE. He will probably get a nice pay day for that circus and that will be it. I don't believe for one minute he wants Wilder again after seeing stars. He says a lot, but he's not that daft.

 

The Wilder re-match will never happen. We've seen all this before, except this time instead of using mental health as an excuse he's trying to distract everyone with this nonsense. Apparently after his WWE debut he'll be making his debut in MMA. He's got no intention of fighting Wilder again.

 

Can't believe there is all this crying because the guy is living a dream and making some cash with the WWE while his cut heals.

Fury may very well retire in three fights, but the Wilder rematch will happen, and he will win it. I see a third fight with Wilder and a bout with Joseph Parker, and then he will do whatever Tyson Fury feels like doing at the moment.

 

People are so stupid. Fury has three more fights left on his top rank deal - a company who have invested heavily in him - and the Wilder fights are already signed. They're 100% happening whether Fury wants them to or not.

It's amazing how many people are wishfully hoping he'll retire. Does he hurt you guys that much??

The wrestling stuff is genius. It keeps him busy, in shape, raises his profile and makes him millions. It also opens up a career for when he does hang up the gloves. That may well be after his three contracted fights, but it certainly won't be before.

 

This guy is on point. Nice one pal, refreshing to read some balance amidst all the hysterical clucking on here.

 

On sky sports today saying he looking to make his MMA debut this year and could be trained by McGregor.
