I think he was kind of named after Iron Mike, so I'm sure he considers him a hero. But besides that yeah, I don't think anyone has ever really mentioned the two together.

Why would that make you cringe? Its him paying respect to his hero/namesake.

Oh I see what you mean. I disagree though. I think its more paying respect to his hero. He never claimed to be the new Tyson. He has different style, abilities, and obviously size. A big man can't fight like Mike Tyson. So yeah, I think you're reading it wrong, but thats just my opinion.

He needs to stay away from Burger King and commit himself to the sport fully or he's never going to achieve anything. He needs a LOT of work before he's anywhere near world level, but I do think people are a bit hard on him as he's onl 22. In heavyweight terms that is nothing these days. The only fighter in recent history further along than him at that age is Boytsov.

Yeah his middle name is tyson - i've forgotten his first name. But he's from a gypsie boxing family so tyson was one of their heros.

I can't believe Rich "Super" Power went all 8 rounds with him. He had never been past 4 and had never looked good past 2 to me. I was expecting a KO win for Fury. Rich Power deserves a ton of props for going over there on 5 days notice and giving Fury hell.

Donnell Holmes??? WTF brother? How many times have you called out guys on this forum? Why in the heck did you chicken chit out of this fight? You are a complete idiot. You could have beaten Fury if you had the balls to try. You must be the dumbest boxer on the planet. :witzend:

Hey, Gronkpride, you're looking for a pro fight, p4p1 is your weight and looking for an opponent and you to have some back and forth history on here, are you prepared to be flown over for a fight? All paid for and fight fees of course, and some weeks prep time, as you both are professionals.

I'd love to get over that way. I'd be willing to fight somebody on 1 of N2Shapes cards in NZ. On an undercard of a Chauncy Welliver fight would be perfect. Can I get a match with Paul Briggs? Bwahahahahaha I can take him! :box:
