Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Why does 90% of people always have to say things like he's shit he'd never be champ! Is someone instantly shit if they don't win a world title? Can we not just appreciate him for what he is? IMO Fury is very raw, and needs a lot of work putting into him (which to be fair at 23 he still has plenty of time) but one thing he has got is guts and a willingness to FIGHT. He's not a naturally gifted boxer, and probably never will be World Champion, but you can't deny the lads heart, courage and eagerness to entertain the crowd. I'd rather watch him fight and give it his all, than Haye refuse to try his best against Klitschko any day of the week. Well done Tyson, keep at it bloke . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plong 21 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Fury has a lot of talent, as soon as the klitchkos retire you can put your money on Manny Steward becomming his full time trainer, he already do's some work with him. Steward would not waste his time on a guy that can't make it at world level. Look at Waldimir would never have become a great world champion without manny, same with Lennox Lewis both had defensive problems until they started working with Steward.

BITCH 135 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 i dont dislike the guy and would be happy to eat a big slice of humble pie, his trainer was the one making the big statements, talking klitschko,s and world titles in 18 months time. for me it aint ever going to happen. hes has got heart and will make a comfortable living out of it, and good luck to him!!

gnasher16 30,121 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) name='brookie' timestamp='1316376345' post='2248245' people said the same about bruno .and he was useless . He became heavyweight champion of the world you prat !....what did you ever become world champion at ? Fury needs to take his time and not be rushed along.....heavyweights never reach their physical peak till 30 so he,s plenty of time to iron out the weaknesses in his game which theres many of,but he has good qualities as well so theres a bright future for him.....he dont look the type of kid whos scared to lose a fight so theres some good domestic fights out there for him which he can learn from hopefully in preparation for bigger things later on.

zigzag dan 784 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 People make me smile when they call some boxers prats , wankers , etc , I respect any man who puts himself through the training regime of a boxer then gets through those ropes . I watch my own son , at 15 , run at 6am , turn down certain foods , have to have early nights while his mates party , but its all worthwhile when his arm gets raised and you hear those words "and the winner in the red corner " so until yuove done it dont judge these people . Boxings a way of life , not a hobby ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zigzag dan i wish your lad all the best of strength courage and confidence.....if an injury stops him or his capabilities stop him then so be it...but until that happens push as far as he can go.....its a great sport that opens up so many other doors.

squint 17 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I've been praising Fury for the last couple of years,watched a good few of his fights and have seen him get better with each fight. Talks some rubbish sometimes(but don't we all...the majority of THL users excluded) But he seems to have the heart and the balls to back them up, Just great to see a WHITE english lad doing well,but then again it's ok to knock because he is white.. He knows in his own mind he has loads to learn and i don't think that if he got K.O'ed. it would put him off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
staffs riffraff 1,068 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I think he's a good fighter can go far but do think he needs a trainer that will get THE very best out of him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,800 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Its was a Canny fight , Tyson was tested in the 3rd and prevailed. The lads looking fitter with every fight. Wait till he is late 20s early 30s he will have matured and strengthened up. The lad will be fecking solid. Who next ? Audley then Haye ? Would be Great Domestic Fights with Big Purses. The one thing i do think will need to happen before he thinks of the Klitchkos ect is a change of trainer ? His uncle has done a Great job to press but how far can he take him ? USA and Freddie Roach would make him a Great imo. ? How long can his current Promoter keep hold of him ? That would deffo be Audenary's last fight LOL Cheers, D.
