why can't Britain get behind Tyson/team fury???

[gilgamesh]

Gilgamesh.. You sound like a guy from the upper class in the 1900's, he says and does poo like that to purposefully annoy the stuck up and straight laced boring people in boxing.. The working class man finds him funny and entertaining, it's not something to take seriously.. It's all tongue in cheek stuff.. The working class are the life blood of boxing full stop.. They buy the ppv's, they turn up and fill stadiums.. Not the upper class "offended by it fools" who'd rather play polo or watch tennis.. Old fashioned opinions are boring as poo.. Whether you like it or not.. CONTROVERSY sells

I'm working class, I don't play Tennis or Polo. I don't like jackasses. If you do that's fine everybody's different.

Probably because he's a douchebag

Fairly educated comments welcome and appreciated.. Cmon man.. You've gotta come with a better opinion than that.. Almost childish comment.. Pfft

I will be filing a copyright law suit, because I said that before

Maybe because he is a jerk ?

Hope a judge will support my claim that douchebag and jerk are synonyms.

Did you read the comments by Muhammad Ali?? Would you consider him a jackass too??

He had jackass tendencies yes. I doubt he would've been one of my favorite people or anything.

Besides, it is one thing to be a jackass in America and another thing to be one in the U.K. where they still have a queen.

I guess. A Jackass is a Jackass anywhere in the World IMO.

In some cultures, being a jackass may be considered a plus.

All depends on who ya ask I guess. Different personality types all over

Really imagine if Fury had pulled any of this rubbish.

That's where his child and his child's mother lived

I didn't know about this. It lowers my opinion of Joshua as a man, although not as a boxer.

Mum of boxing champ Anthony Joshua’s baby spent five months in emergency shelter with newborn

[reggaereggae]

Because the UK, like Western Europe and recently the big cities of the States, have a media run by politically correct, politically motivated propaganda artists. If you don't toe the line, you get crucified. If you ask the average man in the street he loves Fury's honesty and individuality

[skinnysteve]

it's all down to fury being irish the british hate the irish on top of that he;s gypsy this is just too much for the brits to take

Yet you create a thread saying the British public don't get behind him? So which is it?

[Taki...]

Ali's shit talking and controversial comments were about as far above Fury's as his boxing skills. Different level.

I like Fury, he's just not that good. He cracks me up personality wise.

[wesshaw1985]

Most Brits are pc-morons, they see sky sports pumping AJ and the papers mis-quoting Tyson and buy into it.

Fury speaks his mind regardless of if you love him or hate him, he wont change for anybody.
He is the baddest man on the planet until somebody beats him, learn to love it...

Go to the start of the blog and read all my comments.. You'll see what I'm talking about by the sounds of it!

I agree with you my friend.
Its the British publics loss at the end of the day.
Tyson will ride off into the sunset a very rich and happy man, with little to no wars that will affect his mental state. A boxing success story. Fair play to him...

So it's ok for Ali to be outrageously racist in a serious tone, but not ok for fury to light heartedly?? Another hater here clearly.. By the way you can't compare heavyweight champs until they have done all they can in boxing, no matter how far the class gap! He's not even thirty, and if not for the IBF being very petty, he'd hold all four belts! Play that achievement down from your armchair! Effing comical comment..

I think you should read what I wrote again, Kemosabe. Nowhere do I suggest 'it's okay'. Nowhere do I mention tone. Nowhere do I hate on anyone. Nowhere do I mention belts. In fact I don't allude to any of the bollocks you're (trying) to jump out of your pram about.
Why don't you take some of your own advice and try posting some fairly educated comments, instead of judging people you don't know, and trying to pick arguments that aren't there? fornicating commical comments... oh the irony.

Oh and just an FYI; belts don't mean shit. It's about who you beat and when you beat them, NOT the meaningless nonsense they strap around your waist afterwards.

Most idiots love to generalise. And Fury says whatever he thinks will get him the most publicity -- which isn't necessarily 'speaking his mind'.
The problem with nuthugging Fury is it kind of makes any protestations you might make about how unfairly he has been treated a bit biased.

My apologies, Taki is it?
Tyson Fury isnt scared to put his name and opinion out there, ask him a question he will give you an answer.
If being a fan of men like that over humble media robots like AJ makes me a nuthegger then i guess thats what i am...

But is it necessary to belittle people who prefer to support another fighter? That's the nuthugging part. Ignore any faults your guy might have and take a swipe at those people who don't share your views, or who prefer a rival.
It's your prerogative if you want to ignore or even agree with Fury's comments about women and homosexuals, but (and I'm making an assumption you can correct if you like) you're neither, so that's a pretty easy thing to do.

What's the latest on Fury.
What is he weighing ?

[BitPlayer]

What's the latest on Fury.
What is he weighing ?

Last I heard he needs to lose 2 1/2 stone.

[Evander]

What weight is he ?

[Evander]

He's got 8 weeks and he's 294.
Tyson's weight has always been all over the place.
Not good.
If true he'll come in heavy say high 250's low 260's.

[Evander]

What if he can't knock him out then what ?

Read it again buddy... Both answers are there for you... Take your time.. Read the "heavier to ko" And the "lighter to box off the back foot"... I've made it real easy for you bud.. If your still not sure.. Get back to me..

Got you but is it really that simple.
