Anyone with access to see Fury's Instagram only needs to read the comments from his last post on .. almost all are referring to Usyk and him ducking.


Mick has explained many times he makes his silly pro-Fury comments to get bites and provide himself with amusement.

But Henry and Doofus appear to believe what they write :brick:

From 50% to 30% in a couple of days is a clear sign of domination for the Forum Knitting Circle :lol:
You clearly haven't been paying attention if you think it's just been over a few days. Have you been hiding in a cave in shame the last few months whilst Fury went into hiding himself? :lol: Did AJ take you hostage? :confused:
Anyway, this one's all about history being made and it's been clear all along which fighter wants it for that side of it, and which person wants it for the money side of it.
Only 2 days ago you said it would never happen but you’re still here spouting off. History shows that Joshua never went near the WBC champions.

Why?

All of us want the fight to happen.

Most of us believed it could.

The majority of us recognise Fury as the best HW in the world until proven otherwise.

All we have done is call out the constant BS that the walking contradiction that is Tyson Fury comes out with - and looked at things in a balanced fashion.
To be fair there has been a handful of posters who have constantly claimed that Fury is too scared to fight, a couple of them almost daily. These are not balanced people.
I’m not one of them, but they could argue he is scared of the fight but has been backed into it.
I’m sure they will continue to. Joshua’s team stopped returning calls but they’ve convinced themselves he “really wanted it”.

Yeah my apologies for that, but Doofus brings up Joshua for no apparent reason, so he's spamming as well.

:lol: No Mickey, I do actually post in other threads, it's just you're so uptight about anything said against Fury that you only notice those posts.(well, before you threw a tantrum and put me on ignore)
I'll admit to posting a lot about Fury recently, but that's due to Fury vs Usyk being the big boxing event we're all looking forward to.

Only 2 days ago you said it would never happen but you’re still here spouting off. History shows that Joshua never went near the WBC champions.
You have to look at it in the round

History shows that:

Fury didn't box Price, who had beaten him in the amateurs

Fury pulled out of a rematch with Klitchko

Fury pulled out of a fight on the day against a replacement opponent for Chisora

Fury failed a PED test the same year he boxed Klitschko

Fury chose to box a 40 year old with 13 defeats, for the third time.

Fury has boxed some very poor opponents.

Having Conor Benn's doctor in his camp raises questions.

But, History also shows:

Fury boxed well in beating Klitschko, on foreign soil.

Fury came back from a bad place and was robbed of victory in the first fight against Wilder, and that could have put most boxers out of their stride/deflated them. But, he boxed Wilder again and bested him. No mean feat against a puncher like that.

Fury getting up from that second knockdown in the first Wilder fight was just astonishing.

Fury getting up from that first knockdown in the third fight with Wilder was equally astounding.

His recent antics genuinely had me, and an increasing number of fans, convinced that he didn't really fancy the Uysk challenge. I still can't shake the feeling that he has had his bluff called. But, I am very happy to be proved wrong.

Perhaps this has all been an elloboeate, elongated, negotiation process but I think he overblew the soufle in the process, and lost some of the affection his fans had for him.

“Lost some affection” from somebody who has posted daily for the last 4 months that he is scared of Usyk.

Do you not post daily about Joshua and his fashion shows? A very rich cake you are eating..although a good diversion tactic from your hero's perceived shortcomings.

The difference was that Joshua had no intention of fighting.
I don’t know about cake but, if you had anything about you, you should be taking a huge slice of humble pie after the garbage you’ve been posting in the past 4 months.

Big Doofus, you seem to be quite an unpleasant type: your posts are full of snipey, superior comments, and you never ever address any questions e.g. what are your thoughts on Fury failing a PED test? Silence.

I don't feel there is any humble pie to eat. Fury has had his bluff called and been exposed as anything but a spartan warrior.

Please don't reply to this as I don't think, on here at least, you are worth engaging with.

He's got me on ignore as well. A few years ago he embarrassed himself on another thread sticking up for another Fury bottler. Tyson's dad, John, had declared he was the hardest man over fifty and he'd box anyone over fifty to proof it. Some ancient looking bodybuilder called Fury's bluff so, like father like son, he started making more and more ludicrous demands of his opponent to try to hide the fact he was too frighened to fight his challenger.
Mickey got so upset at me for saying John Fury had bottled it that he challenged me to a spar, saying he was 6'4" and 18 stone and could box, whilst knowing I was 5'8" and in my fifties. I called his bluff and predictably, like his heroes, he bottled it.
