Thoughts? 
I could see it being similar to Ali's comeback in that I could see Fury winning a few easier fights before losing to the guy that has come along in his absence.SenorPipino wrote: ↑13 Dec 2017, 16:54 Fury is comparing his return to Ali's comeback in 1970.
Delusional.
The more I think about it the more it seems that Tyson Fury's biggest talent is his ability to foster self-belief and get inside his opponents head and do some pre-fight damage. As funny as it seems he does model himself on Ali.SenorPipino wrote: ↑13 Dec 2017, 16:54 Fury is comparing his return to Ali's comeback in 1970.

Price fights like he's scared of his own shadow these days. He ain't beating nobody of note ever again.Thomastearns wrote: ↑14 Dec 2017, 15:14The more I think about it the more it seems that Tyson Fury's biggest talent is his ability to foster self-belief and get inside his opponents head and do some pre-fight damage.

Alas, as we saw with McGregor, that approach can only get you so far. I would love to see Fury fight Price, but I know he won't. He'll avoid him like he was Harvey Weinstein. He knows only too well that Price won't buy the bullshit and could spark him out cold. They both know it.
David Price has had obvious fear of the unknown/ confidence issues, and who wouldn't after his recent form. However, when he is in there with a known commodity like Fury, most of these issues will become irrelevant.gilgamesh wrote: ↑14 Dec 2017, 18:07Price fights like he's scared of his own shadow these days.

I'm nit the biggest a fury fan. But fury could step into the ring with Price right now when he is obese and still win.Thomastearns wrote: ↑14 Dec 2017, 15:14The more I think about it the more it seems that Tyson Fury's biggest talent is his ability to foster self-belief and get inside his opponents head and do some pre-fight damage.

The best heavyweight of his era, Muhammad Ali (who was 25 years of age at the time), was stripped of his world heavyweight title and had to endure an enforced 3½ year layoff before making his ring return, with a view to recapturing his world title against a new generation of fighters that were perceived to be better than himself.SenorPipino wrote: ↑13 Dec 2017, 16:54Fury is comparing his return to Ali's comeback in 1970.

Yes it would be, it was a walk in the park for Teper who isn't half as good as Fury. Fury would toy with him, probably drop him, and stop him. I wouldn't be shocked if Price failed to even land a jab.Thomastearns wrote: ↑15 Dec 2017, 04:53 David Price has had obvious fear of the unknown/ confidence issues, and who wouldn't after his recent form.

Besides, if Price is so shot, what better fight (known name/all UK) for Fury to re-estabilsh himself? It should be a walk in the park for a fighter of his talent, shouldn't it?
Fury gained 10 stone in weight and went on a 2 year bender,that's the difference.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑15 Dec 2017, 05:31The best heavyweight of his era, Muhammad Ali (who was 25 years of age at the time), was stripped of his world heavyweight title and had to endure an enforced 3½ year layoff before making his ring return, with a view to recapturing his world title against a new generation of fighters that were perceived to be better than himself.SenorPipino wrote: ↑13 Dec 2017, 16:54Fury is comparing his return to Ali's comeback in 1970.

The best heavyweight of the current era, Tyson Fury (who was 27 years of age at the time), was stripped of his world heavyweight title and will have to ensure at least a 2½ year layoff before making his ring return, with a view to recapturing his world title against a new generation of fighters that are now perceived to be better than himself.
Both men were unbeaten at the time at the time of their hiatus, both adopted an unorthodox fighting style, both men were extroverts, both garnered significant attention from the media, both were highly controversial public figures, both held deeply religious beliefs, both men were unusually large for their division, both faced significant problems outside of the ring and both men openly admitted to struggling to maintain their ideal weight.
The parallels are abundantly obvious and undeniable, even if it is possible to claim that one persons' situation was slightly more severe than the other.
You can't deny there are significant similarities though? You can pretend otherwise, but it's nigh on impossible to deny the points I've made.bigjack wrote: ↑15 Dec 2017, 08:29Fury gained 10 stone in weight and went on a 2 year bender,that's the difference.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑15 Dec 2017, 05:31The best heavyweight of his era, Muhammad Ali (who was 25 years of age at the time), was stripped of his world heavyweight title and had to endure an enforced 3½ year layoff before making his ring return, with a view to recapturing his world title against a new generation of fighters that were perceived to be better than himself.SenorPipino wrote: ↑13 Dec 2017, 16:54Fury is comparing his return to Ali's comeback in 1970.

I agree,there are,but he is in such bad shape now,it will take a massive effort to get back to fighting weigh,he may do it or he may fail and vanish into the sunset.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑15 Dec 2017, 09:25You can't deny there are significant similarities though?
