the excuses for losing to fury are the weirdest in boxing history - why?

[margaret thatcher]

hear me out...

i notice that wilder, whyte, and cunningham all came out hard with some serious crying and excuses after losing to fury, beyond the typical stuff. i think excuses for losing to fury have to rank among the collectively most bizarre/pathetic in boxing history compared to any other fighter. among other things, fury has been accused of:

-literally using voodoo
-drugging opponents
-imposing white privelege on them
-putting egg weights in his gloves/pulling his hand down in his glove so he's not hitting with knuckles (lol)
-employing spies
-koing guys with pushes (whyte and cunn both claimed this)


what is it about fury that engenders such crying? is it the fact that a cocky white dude is beating their ass? that may sound silly, but wilder and cunningham are known to have some rather strong views are race.....i dont recall wlad being quite t he crybaby these 3 were

if that's not it, why do you think it is

[tigermoth87]

These "hard" men fron the hood are humiliated that a chubby white guy cleaned their clock

[tonyevs]

Yep - losing to a guy who looks like he spends every day at Wetherspoons and Gregg's is definitely a bad thing to accept. Throw in Fury's funny accent and the crap coming from Fury and his dad .. it's gotta hurt more than the punches they take in the ring.

[jimmystone]

Throw in Fury's funny accent....

I'm thinking what's funny about his accent..? He sounds like everybody else round here to me. Then I start to think, do people think my accent is funny? Low self-esteem for the rest of the day.

Yep

Roberto Duran is one of the and probably my favourite fighter of all times but what a whiney bitch he was after a loss, he'd have you believe every one of his losses was a miscarriage of justice or he was ill in the lead up or some supplement made him lose

marquez and glen johnson were also like that, guys that i respected a lot as fighters but that moaned and whined and b!tched over everything that didnt go their way

someone could literally decapitate glen johnson and he'd argue that he was robbed

Beats the broken toe excuse by miles

If you're talking about the Pacquaio fights, Marquez has every right to complain about daylight robbery

im not just talking about the pac fights, and i had no problems with the first 2 decisions either. he also retired in a huff after losing to bradley, which again i thought was the right result

[mickey1975]

I've never said this for fear of being accused of racism, but the vast majority of black pundits, trainers, boxers, podcasters always pick the black guy in a fight.

true tbh, the whole pbc set up in the states especially just reeked of that sort of thing

[DrDuke]

Klit also had a lame excuse. He said that he for some reason had decided not to let his hands go. As if it was his own choice, lol.

Nobody wants to admit being worse than the fat man with flabby flanks!

The Gypsy King destroys stereotypes!

Is Wilder from the "hood"?? He's a self confessed Alabama country boy

hear me out...

-employing spies
-koing guys with pushes (whyte and cunn both claimed this)


what is it about fury that engenders such crying? is it the fact that a cocky white dude is beating their ass? that may sound silly, but wilder and cunningham are known to have some rather strong views are race.....i dont recall wlad being quite t he crybaby these 3 were

if that's not it, why do you think it is

That's exactly it. They come up with this mentality that Black people are better than White people at absolutely everything Physical, especially a fight. So getting your ass kicked by a White guy who then is gonna tell you what a bum you are, and how he can do it again isn't gonna sit well with guys like that.

Basically it's racism. They'd rather lose to 10 Black guys than 1 White guy.

What about PBC guys? Most of the time it’s black vs. Black or Hispanic/Latino etc.

Never a white guy is it?

[margaret thatcher]

well hopefully they're smart enough to realise that if they lose to another black guy then they havent lost to a white guy

But Poverkin is white and he beat Dillian too, I think Wilders case was he was so surrounded by yes men and very well matched he had a bit of a god complex and couldn't handle it when he got exposed

The guy literally believes he was annointed by God and couldn't be beaten, so I think that's a big part of the problem there.

Cunningham genuinely seems to be a bit mentally ill

[orbtastic]

Wlad had a conveyor belt of excuses - gloves that were too heavy, poisoned, vaselined legs, blood sugar

yep, cunningham is a total nut job

Is Wilder from the "hood"?? He's a self confessed Alabama country boy

Country boy, but has hood tendencies like encrusting everything with bling, and spending large amounts on designer crap.
True country boys made good - buy land, huge tracts of it, and maybe pimp out their truck.

Ah now I don't think buying tacky blingy shit is just something rich guys from the hood do, everybody seems to love a bit of superficial flash these days
