What a clown , picks out the smallest , head butts him, runs away and still ends up worse off

 

[Kippax77]

They're hyping this up as the biggest fight in history. Seriously? It may have one of the biggest purses ever, but it's certainly not the biggest fight. Some of those duels back in the 70s featuring Ali, Frazier and Foreman were on a totally different level to this one. Or even the Tyson/Holyfield bout.

It's an insult to the past masters.
Like most weight divisions are today

Hagler v Hearns in 85 was bigger than this fight.

Wanker of a human being him

You're right. I was just sticking to the heavyweights. The Sugar Ray Leonard/Roberto Duran is up there as well. Even some of those middleweight (?) scraps between Eubank/Benn/Watson are worth a mention as well.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

He’s going to be in some strife you would think at the very least deported.

If they do big chance the fight doesn’t go ahead

Can’t see them taking that chance

The Wanker as shown himself up big time though

It’s assault and the fucker should be arrested

Many more fights better than this one involving the likes of Louis, Marciano, Ali, Foreman, Frasier, Tyson, Bowe, Lewis, Holyfield and the Klitschko's. After Usyk wins this weekend, Fury will be ranked alongside the also ran champions in boxing heavyweight history.

He's got form for it. Not a nice person.

 

[The blue phantom]

Fuckin animal. Should be barred from any future boxing events. Including this one.

 

[Worsleyweb]

I don’t mind Fury the boxer but the fact he lets his dad behave like this is wrong. Usyk all the way now.

 

[MCFC Wirral]

I should go for the Brit but I think I’m Team Usyk. I’ve found Fury entertaining many times too.

 

[bluemc1]

Gonna stick with my original thoughts when the fight was first talked about
Fury will eventually walk through him for late stoppage

 

[citytill1die84]

Is this **** allowed to just do what he wants?

Guy says they can't be beaten lol he lost to a rugby player and finished his boxing career with 8 wins 4 losses and 1 draw.

Looks like Fury senior has been on the marching powder, what a bell whiff.

Hagler v Hearns in 85 was bigger than this fight.

So was dela Hoya and Trinidad

He was quite feared in the amateurs, but it was low level Town Hall club v club stuff, and opponents would pull out of fights.

As a pro he was average to mediocre, not near Hughie's level but a lot better than Tommy. He was tough and determined but was shown to be lacking in skills v Akinwande who in effect ended him. Maybe a few more easier fights he may have done better, but there was no way he way was going to be top level, especially with his training background.

 

[Haaland94]

Oh, so this is finally going ahead. Excited for this one. Finally, it's been long overdue.

IMO, it's a 50-50 fight.

 

[Lowtower]

Embarrassing stuff by John Fury, picking on the smallest guy he could find.

 

[jaiguruKun]

I sense a lot of fear in the Fury camp, like they sort of know the game's up.

Usyk to win or a dodgy draw.
