Benn's win over McClellan now up for revision...
Yeah, I really warmed to Fury after this fight, but I'm afraid since, he's gone down a great deal in my estimation. I'm sure he's not too bothered about that, but there we have it.big lennox wrote: ↑03 Jul 2023, 06:15 When I watch the 12th round of the first Wilder vs Fury fight, I'm reminded of why I enjoyed watching Fury.
But, seeing the bravery and composure on display makes me sad that he has now gone down this weird route of picking on lesser opponents, pricing himself out of meaningful fights and belittling people (see his comments to Uysk).
Can anyone imagine in tennis, Novak saying he won't take on Federer or Nadal because they haven't got the same profile as him, pricing himself out of match ups against them and then taking on a badminton or squash champion instead? It's really weird ( in a Big Doofus kinda way)

Fury's kids won't have any value of money. Tyson has earned fabulously - and one credit you have to give Fury is that he doesn't appear overly extravagant in his spending: a very nice house .. but not exactly a mansion; a few decent cars .. but nothing silly like a Brabus G wagon money, and even his wardrobe appears knock off from TK Maxx or tat with his Gypsy King logo printed.
As many children of rich and famous parents do, Furys kids will very likely gravitate towards social media to make their name - their father's reputation will be very important because basically that will be their 'qualifications'.
His main rivals being Usyk and Joshua who have both walked away from fights with him twice in the past 9 months. If they wanted to fight him do you not question why their promoters didn’t make Fury a counter offer?big lennox wrote: ↑03 Jul 2023, 06:10My point being that Fury comes from a proud fighting family and sells himself as being the best ever and will fight anyone for free etc, but even Fury's closest family members must be questioning whether he has the nerve to take on the best. And it needn't be that way. He just needs to box his main rivals. It's quite a simple solution.
For someone who claims to be bored of Fury, you don’t half type some words about him.tonyevs wrote: ↑03 Jul 2023, 08:24mickey1975 wrote: ↑03 Jul 2023, 03:11What is a mansion? “A large, impressive house” according to the dictionary.

OK .. so a mansion may be a subjective term. But something like AJ`s £25 million pound home would be an example of an extravagant home that would fit my description of a mansion.
Whilst £1.7 million is way out of my own price range; I have a few friends who live in houses close to that price, and none of them (as far as I know) have over a million quid in their bank accounts.
To be fair also - the renovations on that £1.7m house in Morcambe will prob be devaluing it ... have you seen his new driveway![]()
That Fury is not extravagant with his money is a credit to him though - it will be nice to know the wealth he has earned will be passed down to his children - there are too many examples of ex-champions who have blown their vast fortunes.
So Tyson is fighting who exactly?BigDoofus wrote: ↑03 Jul 2023, 08:55His main rivals being Usyk and Joshua who have both walked away from fights with him twice in the past 9 months.

Interesting.
Another ESPN deal wouldn’t change the landscape. If Jordan’s right in what he’s saying then could it possibly be a fight on terrestrial?Blueprint wrote: ↑03 Jul 2023, 17:03 I don't think it's Ngannou. Simon Jordan claims allegedly has told him what is happening.
Simon Jordan says the announcement will be 'Landscape changing' and "create opportunities". Sounds like a business deal, odd way to describe a fight. Is this another ESPN deal?
I was more watching his eldest son in the background who looked like a very new beginner. Nothing like most travelling boys who have been brought up in the game. They have the full skill set by now.big lennox wrote: ↑03 Jul 2023, 17:23Interesting.
I watched the video of Fury hitting the pads in the ring (which he posted earlier). And, its bl*ody annoying: so, so talented; great balance and timing, fast hands and light on his feet. And it grieves me that he has been wasting his talent taking third fights with Chisora.
Fingers crossed this ' game changing' announcement is a meaningful one.
I think it's related to this new TNT Sports thing. Similar to the language Jordan used:mickey1975 wrote: ↑03 Jul 2023, 17:50I was more watching his eldest son in the background who looked like a very new beginner.

There’s nothing currently out about the TNT Sports that anyone other than their own marketing team would called ‘game changing’ or ‘landscape changing’. Frank may over egg what’s actually happening but I’d be a bit surprised if Simon Jordan would do the same for something that is little more than a brand name change.Blueprint wrote: ↑03 Jul 2023, 22:05I think it's related to this new TNT Sports thing.

He is struggling to get an opponent. Hopefully Usyk or AJ might grow a backbone sometime in 2024.si7dog7 wrote: ↑03 Jul 2023, 15:22So Tyson is fighting who exactly?BigDoofus wrote: ↑03 Jul 2023, 08:55His main rivals being Usyk and Joshua who have both walked away from fights with him twice in the past 9 months.

Is he waiting on these “fools”
Is there a plan?
Pray tell?
They fought each other twice, Fury fought Del Boy and he's fighting a non boxer next.
