Instead, he let Haymon, Finkle and the likes protect the fvck out of him, destroy 38 absolute tomato cans who’d all probably lose on the same day to Dave Allen or Chisora and grow his ridiculous ego to the level that one punch can beat absolutely anyone in the business. Fast forward ten years and after an enormous 42 fights, he’s learnt absolutely nothing, throwing the same one punch he threw on his debut and got given his first boxing lesson. Ridiculous career

But it's not , he's got about 30 million dollars in the bank , a ridiculous career is getting mullered because of the lack of skill and having nothing in the bank, I'd say it's been a career of success with what they've got to work with.

He's commanded a huge size advantage over every single opponent he has ever faced, no other fighter in the sport has that advantage.

Canelo ?

Since when has Canelo had 42 pounds on someone? Fwiw i do think Canelo has benefitted from being a drainer earlier in his career but he was the smaller guy in some of his better wins like Trout, Golovkin and Kovalev. Fury is essentially a weight division bigger than anyone he's ever faced bar wlad.

It’s almost like you’ve just discovered what the heavyweight division is

I was like most others. Either Wilder KO or Fury points. Couldn't see any other outcome!

Crazy gameplan from Team Fury but that's why he is a Champion and I just like watching.

This will go down as an all time great win. A boxer going toe to toe vs one of the hardest punchers seen in the sport and having a shoot out! Seems suicidal from Fury!

I’m off now, my work here is done.

The best thing about it was he told everyone he was going to do just that and how many of us believed him ?
I know I didn't .

Very entertaining.
I did notice at the end, Fury lent down to Arum and said;
"That was too easy"
Bob looked up and nodded.

I think the rematch will be even easier if it happens. Tyson had Wilders number in the first fight, and in the second he was all over him.
A third fight seems null and void to me, it will be another beatdown for Wilder.

Ricky wrote: ↑22 Feb 2020, 16:05 Tyson Fury is a giant bum, a big fat parody of an elusive fighter that looks utterly ridiculous trying roll punches with his big fat 7 foot frame. He's going to get flattened tonight then hopefully go back to the WWF circus where he belongs.

Ricky wrote: ↑23 Feb 2020, 02:56Ditto. I've shat on him plenty so his fans can have their moment, fine by me - I'm still just not buying into him though, his skillset just doesn't impress me at all.

Pathetic.

He's the best in the world.
