I acknowledge that he became World Champion, and that makes him better than most BOXERS. I'll give you that. It doesn't make him better than most...or in my opinion ANY Heavyweight Champion.bigjack wrote:gilgamesh wrote:Of those 7.5 Billion people only about 2000 of them are active Heavyweight Boxers. Tyson Fury was one of the better Heavyweight boxers of his time that's why he got the chance he got, but when you look at the history of the sport, and the history of the Heavyweight Championship, you won't find a Heavyweight Champion that had a less significant run as Champion.bigjack wrote:
Gilgamesh was right then,he's not that good after all
I agree he's been a very poor champion,but out of those 2000 active heavies,how many will or have become world champion,just for the record i wish he would just vanish never to be seen again,i'm sick of the on off comebacks.

Nobody with any sense disputes the achievement. What came immediately afterwards and continues too is what people have, rightly so IMO, issue with and I say that as a sympathiser over his doping issues. He deserves better than to have it dragged interminably along, if that is what is happening and there isn't more to it from the Fury camp.mickey1975 wrote:You'll also struggle to find one who dethroned such a long reigning champion in his adopted home country. Fire away lads, 10 years champion minimum, boxer who beat him has to be from a different country.

Authority really goes to some people's heads. I act the same today as I did the days and weeks before I was ever a mod. I'm just one of the fellas on the board. I only wield my Mod powers if I really need to.

I mean...it's a slight form of authority I guess. It's certainly something that could be abused if not handled properly, but that would quickly lead to Forum members calling for the Mod powers to be stripped from the sh*t Mod in question. Overzealous mods can quickly suck all the fun and enjoyment out of any forum.Tomasino wrote:
Is it really even authority? I'm glad you 'act the same'. It must be difficult as they say power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely

He called him a f a t sack of sh t in another thread. I'm pretty sure the sack of sh t beat Wlad convincingly but don't see him slating Wlad in that wayTopGun wrote:gilgamesh wrote:"He's accomplished everything you can in the sport"LancashireLoyal wrote:

Says the man who threatened to ban me for posting the same vid in 2 relevant threads. In my years on Boxrec I’ve never had such a reaction. I’ve always found the modding here excellent until that point.gilgamesh wrote:You're too reactionary to be a good mod.

I recall what you speak of. You were posting the video multiple times, and it seemed spammish to me. I haven't given you guff any other time have I?SAPFO wrote:

Mods going around threatening people is not okay.gilgamesh wrote:I recall what you speak of. You were posting the video multiple times, and it seemed spammish to me. I haven't given you guff any other time have I?
Besides you used the key word there "Threatened" to ban you. I didn't ban you, and you got my message, and quit spamming the board with the video. So I'd say that was Mission Accomplished as a mod, and there were no casualties suffered.
All in all I'd say it worked out well.
