Fury: UK fans don't understand boxing, Johnson a top 5 Heavyweight
Just another Tyson Fury is dickhead interview. It is beyond me how people can be a fan of this muppet.

Re: Fury: UK fans don't understand boxing, Johnson a top 5 Heavyweight
I don't even think Kevin Johnson is in the top five heavyweights called Kevin Johnson. There's a fat bloke in my local pub with that name who has a slightly higher punch output after a few jars of stella.

Allright I admit it, I am old.
I have followed, at great expense, Henry Cooper, Joe Bugner, John Conteh (arguably the best of the lot), Lennox Lewis, David Haye and David Price.
I wouldn't pay two bob to watch Tyson Fury, and his pathetic attempts at hyping up fights are just....
From the eighties onwards the intermediate weights have produced more value, excitement and boxing skill, thankyou nigel, chris, John H, Michael W, Herrol etc. sorry for any I've missed.
No wonder boxing is dying on its feet if dickheads like Fury are in with a shout, just put him in a fairground with Butterbean and have done with it.

Re: Fury: UK fans don't understand boxing, Johnson a top 5 Heavyweight
Having seen fellow Brits post on this board, I would have to agree with Fury.
Then again in a few weeks the average Joe will be saying 41yo Tony Thompson is the best American Heavyweight, and the worlds best boxer David Price, is going to KO him, which he might.
This will eclipse the Fury-Johnson fight, because there will be a KO.

I'm older also and my how boxing has changed. Watching boxing every Saturday afternoon on regular tv in the mid to late sixties and through the seventies was a weekly event. The 80's were decent until the end of the decade and the advent of PPV which I believe to be one of the major causes of what we see today. Leonard and Duran fought twice in one year and Floyd and Manny could not make it happen for 50 mil a piece. That is the difference.

Re: Fury: UK fans don't understand boxing, Johnson a top 5 Heavyweight
Fury is just a thick Pickey.
Doesnt matter if you think Fury is better than Price , the fact is Fury is setting himself for a huge fall with his stupid comments.
I cant wait for the day he is interviewed having been koed inside 2 rounds by the first puncher he meets.

is boxing dying on its feet?
i was under the impression there is more money flying around in boxing now than ever, there are also a lot more boxers who have done well out of the sport
boxing is booming
this could also be due to more boxers having the ability to sell a fight :)

Re: Fury: UK fans don't understand boxing, Johnson a top 5 Heavyweight
Fury is a plank
Fury v Price will be massive mainly due to Fury being a plank
does anyone get it now?
-
His shoes will look like sandals soon, he shoots himself in the foot so much. Dissing UK boxing fans and their judgement will do little to endear him to the people who pay to watch him fight. "Encyclopedia of boxing" he doesn't even come across as a decent annual, the guy is a pull out short of a magazine. Maloney had 64 bouts as an amateur flyweight and could see the promise in Lewis before many. Tyson needs a gobstopper.

Fury, Price, Charr, Wach, etc, are all well protected HW's.
There's a reason they all had/have perfect records and that's simply because they hadn't/haven't fought a Klitschko.
Love the Klitschko's or hate them for there fight selections now, but they got to where they are by fighting the best that was there.
Fury will crumble under the first decent right hand his pikey chin receives.
Price will likey wilt too, but his defences seem much better than Fury so maybe, just maybe, he can make us proud.

Price ain't protected, he has only had 15 fights and isn't World Level yet, to expect any fighter to get into the ring with the likes of Wlad who is the best HW in the business would be unfair and to label it as that is silly!

I'm not saying that by not fighting a Klitschko he's protected, I'm saying that he's protected by fighting below par fighters.
Sam Sexton isn't a threat and never looked likely to ever be one. Audely Harrison?? Need I say more?
Oh but I shall! Matt Skelton? Forty fucking five! Next fight? Tony Thompson 41! Althought Thompson should be a much harder test, so good to see progression.
Now I actually love Price. I think he's got talent, but the same thing is happening to him that happened to James DeGale, they're fighting opponents below there level.
But I guess we are all entitled to our opinions. Personally I'd see him trying to fight Chisora, Fury, Haye, but none of them look likely!
Thompson will be a decent fight even though if he wins he'll be beating a guy that's already been stopped twice by the guy he's trying to get a fight with.

Hardly fair on Price. Thompson is borderline top ten heavy. Not many fighters step up to that level after 15 fights. It's not Price's fault that the domestic scene is awful. I respect him for wanting a Lonsdale belt outright, even if he fights dross like Sexton and Skelton.

Like I said mate, Thompson will be a harder fight. I'm not trying to be harsh on price, I like him, I'm just saying that he's been protected, maybe unintentionally because of the lack of uk hw talent.
After Thompson he needs a stern test, Helenius maybe.

Re: Fury: UK fans don't understand boxing, Johnson a top 5 Heavyweight
Id like to see either Price or, if it has to be, Fury, fight Chris Arreola should he come through with a win in his next fight. Matter of fact I think anyone who wants a Klitschko would be best served to take him on first. He's big, tough as hell, and he can fight a bit. If anyone has a prayer against either Klitscho they'd need to have the tools to get by him, but in the process it would really help a guy like Price to prepare and find out what he has at the next level. Arreola would at the very least stick around through the mid rounds and keep throwing punches. Neither Price of Fury has had to deal with this, perhaps through no fault of their own. I'd actually be surprised if Fury could beat Arreola at all come to think of it.

TBF Price is making a significant step up in quality fighting Thompson, he has fought for the World Title against Klit in the last 12 months, where as Price has been learning his trade domestically....fighting fighters with varying styles and abilities are all part of a fighters learning curve and that's not protection for me vendetto!

You're acting like you're different. The other day you slagged the ability of Andre Ward, who is arguably one of the very best fighters in the world right now. This is a forum, people are going to post opinions, and when a fighter like Fury slags the fans, they're going to react in kind.

Ok I agree, I've said about 3 times that I believe it's a big step for him.
Also I mentioned that it's unintentional protection, due to the lack of talent we actually have in the UK.
We are crying out for a good fighter to challenge for a world title.
Cleverly, Froch and Burns keeping us with a reputation right now xD

Re: Fury: UK fans don't understand boxing, Johnson a top 5 Heavyweight
I find it amusing the hate this lop dick Fury receives and being called a "Pikey" which I guess is because he is a gypsy.
Honestly, right now as much as a cock as David Haye is, I'm confident he would KO Fury or Price.
I really thought Chisora was the best Brit hw after his dominant win over Helenius and very courageous fight against Vitali where he reallly pushed him and I thought made a close fight of it.
I was wrong.
Haye is a cut above the rest in the U.K.with his natural speed, talent and power.
But, he's def ducking a rematch with Audley...

I am not so sure Haye can beat Fury and Price they are too dangerous, big and hungry for him.

Honestly, right now as much as a cock as David Haye is, I'm confident he would KO Fury or Price.
I really thought Chisora was the best Brit hw after his dominant win over Helenius and very courageous fight against Vitali where he reallly pushed him and I thought made a close fight of it.
I was wrong.
Haye is a cut above the rest in the U.K.with his natural speed, talent and power.
But, he's def ducking a rematch with Audley...
I am not so sure Haye can beat Fury and Price they are too dangerous, big and hungry for him.
With all due respect, but are you serious mate?
Fury is far too slow for Haye, far far too slow and Haye would dance around him.
Price has a sound amateur background with the medal and stuff but I think Haye has the experience and power to stop him.

C'mon Master, you cannot be serious. Do people not realise how good a fighter Haye is? He is the 3rd best Heavyweight in the world. Seriously, outside of the Klitschko's, I don't see anyone beating him. Not Povetkin, not Huck, not Adamek or Cunningham, and certainly not Fury and Price. There is a massive difference between looking decent against lower level opposition and fighting someone with the skill to fight back.

2nd best! No way Vitali can live with his pace.
It was unfortunate against Wlad because I believe Haye could still beat him, he was just afr too cautious.

OK maybe I went over the top but you are over exaggerating how good Haye is, There is a reason why he does not fight often. That is because Haye is not a confident heavyweight, he knows he is one punch away from getting KOed.

You're just being general there mate.

Why does Haye not fight regularly then? He stands a better chance being active but chooses to go on celebrity shows and semi retirement instead.

He is still a punk kid with no real men sitting him down and telling him to shut his pie hole.
