Horse, what do you think will happen about the drug tests and licence issues?
Horse appears to have effectively body swerved this question.

I too would be intrigued to find his view on this matter
Horse loses all rational perspective when it comes to Fury, so his answer will be interesting indeed.
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.

Tell that to the interviewer
Qualifications are a measure used by an employer, but are not a definitive one, that's why they have you in for an interview

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.

Horse always gives fair, considered and balance opinions on all.

I value him as a poster and hold his opinions in the highest regard.

As such, I eagerly anticipate his wise and learned response
Tyson Fury naturally produces higher levels of nandrolone and cocaine than normal people.

Tyson Fury is no ordinary man.

AJ is far more articulate than Fury and AJ's bank balance will very likely be 5 times greater, and thats without having had to fight the division king. Not to mention Fury's 2 failed drugs tests in the past 15 months and inevitable ban.. If there is a idiot amongst the pair then the smart money would strongly suggest that Fury wins that accolade and quite comfortably too... :TU:
AJ is clearly much smarter than Fury, Fury just makes a knob of himself again and again and looses fan's by the day. AJ knows how to play the game, hence why he can sell out Wembely. I used to really like Fury and I spent months trying to defend him but in the end you have to give up.
Anyone is smarter than Fury. The guy has about as many brain cells as he has entertaining fights.

Yeah he's a multimillionaire, undefeated, and the true heavyweight champion of the world, what a Wanker eh Einstein

Fury is an extremely intelligent chap, make no mistake. Intelligent, but not educated.

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...

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.

That fight is the reason English title fights now have three judges.

I fail to see fury'a intelligence unless it's ring intelligence. Most of what he says is incoherent gobbledygook.

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.
