You all bit like idiots at Furys daft price split statement. Who is more stupid? Fury or those who believed him?
Hes certainly still the most talked about heavy.;)
For an 11 fight novice with stamina issues Carl Thompson was just about the last person he should have faced. The man was an absolute warrior that never quit, never knew when he was beat and never stopped firing back, even when seemingly out on his feet. He outlasted Haye but in retrospect it really isn't that much of a shock,
nor should it be given much prominence when assessing Haye's current abilities.
Im not.
Im saying when Haye was at the same stage of his career as Fury is now, he was thought of as fragile etc. Judging Fury now, a contender, yet to challenge for a title against a seasoned world campaigner isn't fair. Fury has another six and a half years before he's been a pro as long as Haye. Im fed up of people writing Fury off becuase he's shown a few vulnerabilities. He's shown he's not as vulnerable as Haye was as no one has managed to stop him yet so give him a break. He's doing what he's paid to, entertain us. Would you prefer another jab and grab boring Wlad, Hopkins, Ward?
If Fury got his shot against Wlad, he might lose, he might even get stopped but it would be fun while it lasted and Wlad would be made to fight, unlike Hayes poor effort that for the life of me I don't want to see repeated and he's done nothing to deserve another crack.
