    I don't discount him out for trying, Fury has never shied away from trash talking anyone. But i have watched many of Tyson's videos from 1985 to 1991 and even from 1995-1997 and one thing noting down is the fact that no one, i repeat, no one has any guts to even try to trash talk him or even make an effort to try to get under his skin.

    Holyfield had a different attitude where he just showed confidence but respect to his challenger. The only time when someone tried to get under Tyson's skin was Botha but that was a time when it was perceived Tyson was finished.

    Would Fury have the guts to talk **** to a guy whom he knows had the skills to put a real hurting on him?

    That's what Fury does.
    He'd love the chance to take the p!ss out of a 5'10 midget with a high pitched lispy voice.

    Mike Tyson was a deeply insecure person. An efficient and vicious fighter in the ring, but outside the ring he was deeply insecure. I'm not sure why younger fans see him as some naturally self-assured bad-a$$. Mike Tyson himself has spelled out what he was like, and he was a mess. A vulnerable child with an identity crisis. There's a lot of guys like him around, and it's kind of sad. Fortunately for him he's grown up and allowed a calm and philsophical side to dominate his personality, found himself and found some self-respect.

    It doesn't matter if he trash talks Mike Tyson or if he shows him utmost respect. When the bell rings Mike Tyson is gonna try to kill you anyway.

    I can't see Fury being too intimidated by a man who physically looks like a child standing next to him.. Does that mean he'd win? Not necessarily.

    Knowing Fury, yes he probably would.

    He's crazy enough to do it.

    I reckon he would. In fact I suspect Fury's inner troll would do a little somersault of joy at being able to take the mickey out of a guy that everybody was scared of. If Fury made it out of the first presser without being assaulted by Mike I'd be surprised.

    Fury wouldn't be able to help himself.he is a nutter mad people don't get afraid in situations like that .I could see tyson sticking one on fury at the press conference he would get really wound up by fury giving it the barrys .the fight would be interesting like mike chopping a tree down the difference in size and stile would be weird.

    It would be *****y to trash talk someone whom you know will beat the **** out of you in the ring.

    Well, Fury would need something, anything, to work in his favor. Why not trash talk. Fury's got alligator blood. It might be the only thing he'll have left in the morning.

    Oh he would find plenty to work with in that!

    Yes, Fury would trash talk him.

    He is not one of the better lineal champions, but few have had such manic belief in themselves!
