His hatred of AJ is a little overboard, I think last time I looked he had him ranked about 20th of Best of British fighters.Boxerbeetle wrote:Horse loses all rational perspective when it comes to Fury, so his answer will be interesting indeed.davie wrote:Horse appears to have effectively body swerved this question.keithmoonhangover wrote:

Qualifications are a measure used by an employer, but are not a definitive one, that's why they have you in for an interviewmimmy123 wrote:Tell that to the interviewerdavie wrote:I'm sorry guys but if anyone thinks counting GCSE's is a definitive measure of someones intelligence, it's their IQ I'd be bringing into question.
I'd also add they point to more than intelligence, they imply application by the student, the willingness to study, attend and put the effort in to attain them. You can achieve qualifications through intellect and natural intelligence or through hard work and determination, with limited intellect, either quality is desirable for an employer and when skimming through CV's it's the easiest measure they can use to separate the wheat from the chaff if you will.
Ultimately, you can go for an interview with straight A grades and not get the job though, because they can take one look at you and see many different aspects of your suitability for the role, which GCSE's cannot tell you about an individual
Or you can go with average grades and excel in selling you're qualities, over and above your academic achievements and get the job.

Re: Can we rank him again?
At least qualify that by stating that whilst he was gifted the decision he clearly lost the fight to John McDermott. Lies, damned lies and statistics comes to mind...Rexob wrote:Yeah he's a multimillionaire, undefeated, and the true heavyweight champion of the world, what a Wanker eh EinsteinKiller Blow wrote:Anyone is smarter than Fury.

Fury's inarticulate and devisive ramblings in numerous interviews and social media postings doesnt support the argument that he is an intelligent man. But then again his vocation since the age of 10 has involved him being punched in the head. We really shouldnt expect so much from him, he's a prize fighting after all.

Re: Can we rank him again?
I fail to see fury'a intelligence unless it's ring intelligence. Most of what he says is incoherent gobbledygook.
Re: Can we rank him again?
As far as I have heard he is suspended by the BBBoC? So I don't think we can rank him until after he steps into the ring.
I remember Hatton announcing a comeback the January after the Pacquiao loss - and even worked the bag weighin about 18 stone. That never materialised and there is a fair amount of parrarells between Hatton and Fury.
