Thread: Tyson Fury - Cunt or clever...?

He's Britain's version of Ricardo Mayorga a little. I was going to say Hamed but I think Mayorga is a more accurate comparison. Mayorga would do crazy shit like bring in golden chickens, smoke cigarettes walking to the ring, and I think he was recorded eating something while on the scale at a weigh in too. Fury flips tables over, sings before his fights in the center of the ring, swears at little kids, etc... They both do crazy shit and it's because, after all, they're not all that great in the ring. It's actually pretty impressive to be able to reach stardom doing something that you're really only slightly above average at ( at its highest level). I imagine Fury's career will go the route of Mayorga's. Mayorga was once quoted as saying something like " I would be fighting anyway, on the streets and in the bars of Nicaragua, I might as well get paid for it." How can you tune that out as a fan? The act ultimately catches up with itself though. I think it's pretty clever though at its peak.

Mayorga was undisputed weleter weight champion if the world. When he got his head down he was awesome.

Class act not he may make whitey and funny comments, never heard Henry Cooper talk or act in
this manner , so is all this shit turning boxing into a gutter sport.
That is why the likes of Fury should take a leaf out of Ricky Burns book,! Ricky is a class act you
don't have to act like a A hole to be a fighter.!
In todays game it seems to be part and parcel, pity it's the fight I want not the .

Like many huge guys, he is quite uncoordinated and certainly doesn't punch properly using his full body weight. I don't think his technique is great and he is not a natural athlete.

Having said that, he is truly massive and most definitely possesses a true fighters heart.

It been interesting following his career, whatever you think about the guy, he does make good copy

Fury is a cunt but he will beat the journey man Chisora on points, easy money bet i reckon.

Fury does talk some proper bollocks but he is at least funny,Chisora is as dull as dish water.

Not easy money, he could KO Chisora or Chisora could KO him but thats where my money is. He is 4/1 for a UD which looks a decent value bet

Great bet,don't think Fury has the punching power to KO Chisora,He throws too many arm punches,but has decent boxing skills,Chisora only has courage nothing else.

they aren't as interested that's for sure


haye is massive to the non boxing fan


fury is a clever cunt in some ways, but basically he is just being a total nob to try and get people to tune in


haye was often a nob but with a lot more charm

Chisora is getting stopped early.

33/1 in 1st 28/1 in 2nd and 22/1 in 3rd. Can get 12/1 round 1-3, or 4/1 round 1-6. Wheres your money Ross. I dont see value in any of these.

in some ways id like it to happen


by the way my post above wasn't an attack on fury, I quite like what hes trying to do


but yeah if he does a massive number on chisora then maybe there will be a massive fight round the corner for him


I doubt he will but its possible

Im not sure. If I had to bet my house on any it would be 1-6. Chisora has been getting hurt by his last few opponents who weren't big punchers. Fury is getting sharper and will catch Chisora. If he hurts him I believe he finishes him.
