marky b 309 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 To compare the hype of Muhammed Ali and Tyson Fury is about as ridiculous as comparing them as fighters !.......As the greatest fighter in heavyweight history during the greatest era in heavyweight history you allow Ali a bit of leeway in terms of his mouth......A fighter like Fury who has done nothing in the weakest ever era of heavyweight boxing is simply embarrassing,and if its hype to sell a fight its not working as the ticket sales for this event proved ! A fighter like Fury takes the spotlight away from good genuine up and coming fighters and thats a shame.....Billy Joe Saunders is fighting for a European Title tonight in one of the most hotly contested divisions in world boxing yet he,s not even topping the bill ! The sooner they put an upper weight limit on heavyweight boxing the sooner we will stop this latest trend of freak basketball player type fighters and return to a bit of normality ! it looks like billy joe is topping the bill now gnasher furys pulled out he's uncle hueys in hospital Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ggib 370 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 The only reason he is a contender is because of his mouth and all the hype he brings with him .....its not because of the level of competitors he has fought ....he will be found out soon enough ....I can understand and see why people don't like him because he's gobby and talk shite. Yes he mightn't have fought anyone but that's not for the want of trying. And yes he will get found out but at the moment for whatever reason hes the best heavyweight in this country ! Oh and take it from me it wasn't just hes mouth that got him there . but how is he? who has he beaten whos top ? nobody, hes just in with the best of a bad lot, i think chizora or haye would have stopped him no bother.

MIK 4,756 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 if you watch the pre fight press conference ...Tyson Fury said he would fight even if he lost his eyes because that's the way he was bred .....now hes pulled out what a circus 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed he hasn't beaten top class but he can't help what other heavyweights are around now. Agreed again I think Haye would've beaten him but I don't think Chisora would've . The fact remains like it or not he's the best in this country now ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The sooner they put an upper weight limit on heavyweight boxing the sooner we will stop this latest trend of freak basketball player type fighters and return to a bit of normality ! If you read what i posted i've not compared Ali to Fury in any way...his hype and certainly not as a fighter!...i simply said their methods of selling themselves are the same...as was John.L.Sulivan before Ali...its nothing new...but as you are compareing the two i will just make a couple of points...was Clay selling out arenas before he was Champ?...No..the date for his fight with over the hill Archie moore was put back due to poor ticket sales...to give Clay more time to hype the fight...i agree that the Ali.Frazier,Foreman era was the best in Heavyweights since the last war...but what about just before he was champ?...back in 1960 when Cassius first came on the scene, the sport was,at best,on the threshold of being called off on account of lack of interest. There was no Jack Dempseys or joe louis's or Rocky marcianos,no charmistic fighters to interest press and fans alike...and so it was that Cassius stepped into this vacuum...and this was the era in which he first became Champ...i'd say that winning the heavy weight championship of the world is worth something in any era...and right now Tyson Fury is the best contender we have in this country for that title...all said and done its heavyweight boxing...not a f*****g popularity competition!

The fact remains like it or not he's the best in this country now ! He vacated the title in 2012, David Price as held it since but he's vacated it aswell. Britain dosen't currently have a heavyweight champ, Fury is the Irish champ isn't he? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevin kiely 66 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 tyson fury is a time waster. i was a fan up to now but im not anymore. made out that hed never pull out of a fight. all he does is boast about how much of an animal he is and then he just jibbed out. i subscribed to boxnation for this especially. its a complete joke , very dissapointed to find out that he was just bluffing on his countless interviews on you tube. he says klitscho is a pussy and is dodging him, if fury is wanting the fight so bad he should be ringside at klitschos fights to challenge him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joe54 83 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 tyson pulled out because of money fact he new this man they put in holds a risk why risk him then get drop back down a level he wonts to fight for world title and never wont for money again for sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kevin kiely 66 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 to give yourself license to speak so confidently and disrespect other people involved in boxing the least you have to do is perform and deliver the goods. he sees himself as a the new casius clay, to sh##t talk llike that you need to balance it up with proper displays of skill in the ring to retain credibility Quote Link to post Share on other sites
