Does Tyson Fury Need A Nickname?

Post by keithmoonhangover »

Love him or hate him, Luke has the coolest name in the book. Tyson Fury is a classic name, but does he need a nickname?

I would have to go for "The Fast and The Furious".

I don't think he needs a nickname - he just needs to live upto his name.

My kiwi accent is gone mate, although I still have the odd word coming out. It's been replaced by a Mackem accent now. However, give me two weeks in NZ and I'm 'day mate and calling everyone a f88king drongo.

His name is one of the reasons he gets a lot of attention for a prospect. There is no need for a nickname. If his name was Tyler Ferguson, than ya, a nickname would be nice, but Tyson Fury does all the work by itself.

I'm not his biggest fan - yet but he's certainly better than Danny Hughes.

i think because of his name he brings the armchair fan to the shows which is only good for the sport, i must admit i never took to him at first but after meeting his old fella i realised it was all tounge & cheek i'd like to see him clear up at domestic level before moving onwards and upwards. :TU:

cut this kid some slack he is aiming high and taking on a lot better opposition than the other prospects in britain, and he is the youngest of them all.

I don't think so.

He has one of the greatest real names a boxer can have.

A nickname would ruin it IMHO.

Can we all agree we like the guy though ?

I find him entertaining inside and outside the ropes.

Talks a good fight and has a good go.
