    hope Fury does get back in there but his progress doesnt look to be fast judging by training videos posted online - looks like he still has a load of weight to lose

    Why have they also failed multiple drug bans and disrespected their sport and all its fans?

    No, but you always mention "the family" as being "scum". I wonder how far you extend the guilt of all these crimes and alleged infractions to the family.

    You mention drugs and crimes committed by Peter and John Fury (that they served time for) and imply the "family" as being implicit in all these things.

    Meanwhile, you've mentioned Anthony Joshua as some sort of saviour to rid boxing of these "scum" despite the fact that he has a drugs conviction too (and one that he probably got an easy ride on due to be an Olympic hopeful at the time). If you hate drugs so much, why support AJ ?
    I guess you're pretty certain AJ has never taken PEDs in his life too. Well, his father said he hasn't. And he looks like a honest fella, and he's not a gypsy, so I guess it's all good.

    There's an ingrained hatred of travellers in the psyche of a large percentage of the British public. Some of them don't even realise it, but they absolutely hate travellers. How else do you explain the fact that Peter Fury, Tyson Fury, BJS and Hughie Fury are subjected to volatile personal abuse on social media on a daily basis? We're talking about a great British trainer and three exceptional Britsh boxers, all of whom are unbeaten. Tyson and BJS are world champions with fantastic wins on their records and have careers to be proud of.

    I've said this before and someone said; ''it's not true, look at Andy Lee, he's not hated on for being a traveller''. Well of course Andy Lee isn't hated on, the man is a gentleman who leaves himself open to literally no criticism, you'd make a right tit of yourself hating on Andy Lee. Whereas Peter Fury, Tyson and BJS are outspoken, and the latter two don't live the life outside the game, thus leaving themselves open to criticism. And it's not the criticism that I have a problem with, I understand some people don't like trash talkers, and I understand some people don't respect fighters who blow up in between fights. Although neither of these things appeared to be an issue for the public with Ali or Ricky Hatton.

    But it's the level of criticism, and volatility in the criticism aimed towards them that I do have a problem with. If Anthony Joshua went off the rails, got suspended for taking cocaine, was inactive for two years and blew up in weight, do you think he'd be lambasted with hatred like Tyson is everyday? No chance, he'd be flooded with messages of sympathy. Tyson is a human being who clearly has issues, nobody goes on the booze and drugs that heavily, blowing up in weight so quickly if they don't have psychological issues. And why is BJS even hated so much? Because Warren failed to keep him active so he blew up in weight? See Erik Morales, see Ricky Hatton, see Prince Naseem. They blew up more than BJS. Warren has made a balls of his career recently, not BJS. Hughie the poor git is guilty by association. This tremendous 22 year old heavyweight prospect gets zero praise or encouragement.

    Don't talk to me about the UKAD farce. If they were guilty they would have been found guilty a very long time ago. It's so obviously a witch hunt on Tyson and Hughie got caught up in it.

    The level of abuse and hatred is disgraceful. Some comments are sick and get hundreds of likes on facebook, it's pure racism. I'm not a traveller and I don't have a particular like or dislike for travellers. But I am a boxing fan, a big boxing fan. And I can tell you now that Peter, Tyson, Hughie and Billy have more talent and charisma than most of the rest of British boxing put together. Such a shame they're not appreciated. With just a couple of hundred thousand travellers between the UK and Ireland, travellers are like a boxing super-race with mutilple olympian participants every olympics, regularly winning medals in all amateur championships and several professional world champions in recent years. The sooner the british/boxing public realise this the better.

    Nope! He gets as much stick I'm sure. But not with the same hatred or volatility, that's the point I'm making. The Fury's and BJS ignite a fire in people like no one else in boxing. And it's their travelling heritage that ignites that fire.

    Fury and BJS have said things that are disgusting, it's not due to them being travellers and to say that all the hat they get due to their background is quite frankly a cop out by their fans who don't hold them to any accountability for their actions and words. Is Andy Lee hated? No, because he is a class act.

    Fury and BJS have reaped what they sewn and deserve the comeback they get. You're looking to play the victim card when it doesn't make sense.

    David Haye says things that are "disgusting" but plenty of Haye's biggest fans here are the same ones hating Tyson Fury.
    Lots of boxers say reprehensible things, stupid things and behave badly. Some a lot worse than Tyson Fury. Yet Fury's gets far more hatred.

    References to "squirrel eating", "hedgehog eating", "caravan", "tarmac" in conjuction with "scum", "lowlife", "subhuman" are all pretty clear cut RACISM against the travelling folk.
    And i've seen all those used, some on this thread, by people who pretend to have an issue with Tyson Fury for noble or righteous reasons.
    It's clear bigotry and racism.
