Tyson Fury - Cunt or clever...?

[smashup]

Gotta say I laughed watching him at Mondays press conference... he should have been more mindfull that kids were there tbh but he knows how to drum up interest and sell a fight to the man in the street.

Loads of my mates have been discussing it on facebook etc this week and are gonna watch just to see if Del Boy can shut his mouth up.

Thoughts?

[Silkeyjoe]

A bit of both. Dont think he sells fights though as there isnt that much interest in this. Haye sold the Haye v Fury fight. General public just dont seem interested in this to me.

[beenKOed]

Hey man, I'm interested, the Brit heavyweights are always good for a laugh.
Inside the ring they're all business, but outside the ring it's like a soap opera, and entirely enjoyable to me.
Fury is a large part of that and I hope he has long and prosperous run. I don't think he will make it to the top but who knows.

I mean its not gonna generate the interest in the guys that dont usually watch boxing the way Froch Groves did or certain fighters like Haye can.

[Fenster]

So far they've not sold half the venue out even though Warren has added a million undercard fights and they've done a million press conferences. (some idiots on here thought Fury sold the Haye fight )

I think the general fan views Fury as nothing but a clown and Chisora - who according to him "made" BoxNation - has zero fans.

Personally I think it's a good rematch. I'll be watching.

Great title by the way. he certainly ain't clever, but although he's a cunt, he is a very funny, watchable cunt! I watched the press conference on you tube and to be fair, what the fuck are women and children doing at a press conference to promote a fight on cable tv after the watershed?
I thought the journalist was a bit of a prick really. no good preaching morals at a press conference for a fight and in that respect, Fury was right, if they don't like it , fuck off.
If Frank Warren, or the BBBoC want to have a word in his shell like , that's a different story.
I love watching and Listening to Fury, I think he is completely hilarious.
As a Boxer , I have to say I reckon Fury isn't that great , but he's better than Chisora who is crap! Fury will get found out, but not in this fight.
Until he does get found , we should just enjoy his comedy gold!

Agreed! Wish we had some like him in the US.

I think Tyson's Fury's a big c#nt... but I still like watching 'im go!


That's Entertainment !

Yea dead on. Ill enjoy the fight and the card. Heffron v Williams should be a cracker. Williams looks a good prospect and this is a good test. But Fury aint a seller like people think. It doesnt mean he wont go onto sell tickets but I think hell need to win a world title before shows he headline sellout big venues.

Clever cunt!

[El Kabong]

He's clever .....until he gets his ass beat. Not saying Del Boy is gonna be the one to do it, but very soon he'll catch some knowledge

[Beanz]

He is certainly not clever but nor is he a cunt. The fella is a bit of an eejit and a bit of a dirty clumsy fighter but I sense more idiocy than malice. I don't think Chisora is going to be the walk over people that others are predicting. Del boy has a ton of heart and will need to be put on his arse to be discouraged. Fury is big enough to do it and is lucky that Chisora does not carry much power. Unlike Wlad I can not see Fury learning how to protect his fragile chin once he steps it up and meets a decent boxer, or someone with real pop in their punches. His "fighting man" bravado will mean nothing if he can not beat the ten count and I can see that happening sooner, rather than later.

He's a bit of both IMO. He's definitely putting on a bit of an act, or at least accentuating his natural personality, and really I have nothing against that because boxing NEEDS interesting characters.

People talk about the sanctity of boxing, class, integrity, ect. That's not what sells tickets in the end.

Took the words out of my mouth. Fury is an absolute cunt,
but a rich one, so he does seem to do well, he's managed to make a career out of something I'm still not convinced he's very good at!

[Spicoli]

Best of both worlds eh, bit of both.

He's also not clever in failing to realize its a lost cause and he's looking like Friar tuck...just shave the head already. Now THAT would be a carnival look come to life!
