blackmaggie 3,376 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 why can you name me a worst era brookie the likes of lewis tyson witherspoon bonecrusher smith holmes holyfield foreman even bruno to name a few would of beaten fury or are you going to say hes going to be the best celebrity superstar we have ever seen and has for shitting himself he could well have done against some of the above Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,121 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Thats a bit harsh the Bonecrusher/Witherspoon era was probably worse than this one id fancy Fury over either of those......Dont get me wrong i think Fury has plenty of faults that his sheer size and strength are keeping him out of trouble,if he was a normal size human being i dont think he,d even win a British title on boxing alone......but these are the times he,s operating in and good luck to him he,s got to make the most of it......personally i think if/when he comes up against a top fighter of his size who can box a bit his flaws will be exposed but i hope he gets in makes a few bob and nicks a world title before that happens.

Heavyweights these days make the likes of Tony Tubbs and co look like Adonis's, a much better quality of fighters than today IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeemes 4,484 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Another bum for the giant moron.. The sooner he gets knocked out the better. I know what there plan is,to just get through to a big money fight like klichco..He is an embarassment to Britain. Where do they find these people for him to fight? Come on Joshua!! put this gobshite to sleep...please!! be sure to contact me .if joshua ever attains those heights and warrents a shot at tyson .il cover all side bets no matter how much .tyson and hughie have both called him out .after him and hearn were filmed bad mouthing tyson So who has Tyson beat to warrant the heights he enjoys,that Joshua wont reach? you be sure to contact me when you want to put your money where your mouth is .as for joshua il state the same as i did on here about david price two years ago .loshua will be beat as soon as he steps up and fights some one who fights back .in fact if joshua agrees to fight hughie fury this year he will lose .and dont forget who told you first I agree Joshua hasnt been tested yet,but you didnt answer my question.. I know Tyson didnt want to fight Price,perhaps he regretted that when he saw the Thomson defeat but it doesnt alter the fact that he was scared of being put to sleep by price before he got a big chance. He is building his career by stealth,not ability,and he lacks gameness. I wont forget to congratulate you when Hughie puts Joshua down,I think hell may freeze first but to be honest I think hes got a better chance than Tiresome has.

The ,s was a terrible era for heavyweight boxing regardless of the individuals it was all about Don King....most of the fights he staged for the Wbc and Wba he didnt care who won or lost because he owned them both and was robbing them both blind he completely devalued the heavyweight championship of the world.....apart from the fact most of those heavyweights were coked up to the eyeballs many of them didnt train hard or fight hard as they knew they was being stitched up purse wise it was Don Kings heyday he had not only the division sewn up but also the governing bodies....Look at the way he promoted the Holmes/Cooney fight making an otherwise standard defence into a race war degrading both fighters at the same time yet making millions......he was the main reason the ,s was known as the " lost generation of paper champions " where titles changed hands every other week.....................until along comes a breath of fresh air in what appeared to be a genuine athlete and fighting man not in any way attached to Don King...............namely Mike Tyson.

CushtyJook 1,097 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Always rated tyson fury and I do think he will give wlad problems we will have to wait and see what happens 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plummerterrier 291 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Cant wait to see wlad destroy him. I consider wlad one of if not the greatest heavy weights ever. And although fury has been boring his last few fights he has been fighting smart and shown some good boxing juat not on the same level as klitchko Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Put it this way, barring Wladamir Klitschko the 80's contenders look like super athletes compared to the garbage that's about today, they were much better fighters.

And although fury has been boring his last few fights he has been fighting smart and shown some good boxing juat not on the same level as klitchko I'm here and open to a friendly bet that wlad won't destroy him as you put it, I'm fully confident fury is the most underrated boxer around and people do not take him as seriously as they should.

Plummerterrier 291 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I dont doubt fury is decent alot of folk lost interest in him in his las few fight because he has started boxing smart and ismt as wild as he once was. But his last few fights although he's shown he has come on a good bit i still think there is a massive gap between the two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CushtyJook 1,097 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Don't forget even emanuel steward wvlads trainer told him fury will be the next dominant after you, wvladirmir knows this and had been advised not to fight him so Ild be supposed if the fight ever does happen but I'm willing to bet good money with anyone on this forum who thinks wlad will win 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not quite sure who or what it is thats brainwashed you about the ,s heavyweight scene......but believe me mate in world terms it was awful !......The only generation before or since thats comparatively bad is todays but with fresh faced youngsters like Wilder/Fury/Joshua etc there is at least some energy and promising fights out there....the ,s was totally stale and non competetive with only Tyson being any kind of fresh faced youngster coming through.

Nobody has brainwashed me, there was some talent back in the 80's. Holmes, Witherspoon, Dokes, Tubbs, Page...... Puts fighters these days to shame IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
