Tyson Fury

[User62651]

No surprises there then on both the easy out and the verbal lack of class. Somehow I fear he'll be back in a couple of years when he's broke. Guy seems fairly messed up to me, needs to grow up and get the chip off his shoulder.

the bloke is and was a total (*&^% obviously got brain damage ,oh hang on ,you have to have a brain to have it damaged .

..... Now he says he's "Here to stay"

Make up your mind pal

 

[Bunkermagnet]

He is without doubt an embaressment to the sport, and to himself.

 

[hovis]

if he was ran over and lay on the floor I'd just walk past. that's how much i hate the guy

He is a racist homophobic bigot and he embaresses the sport - boxing is better off without him

 

[JamPal]

ESPN are reporting Fury has failed a drugs test, tested positive for cocaine in his urine sample.
Likely to lose his belts as well.

That doesn't surprise me. The bitterness of his tweet makes sense in light of that.

No it's not

No it's not

So do you think Boxing needs someone to be taking cocaine , spouting homophobic , sexist and racist remarks ? - do you think his actions outside the ring are good for boxing or bad for boxing ?

The homophobic, sexist and racist remarks are well out of order. No excusing them and he should be reprimanded for them.

The cocaine taking doesn't really bother me to be honest. It's hardly performance enhancing. Some of his actions outside the ring are refreshing in what is a dull division.

Give me him running in dressed as batman over a media trained boring fake going on about how humble he is all the while hiding the fact has a criminal record and used to be involved in drug dealing, any day.

Well I would never have expected cocaine taking and refreshing actions in the same paragraph and certainly not being dismissed in such a manner

There are plenty of ways to make a sport exciting - taking drugs plus his comments and his recent actions today are showing him to be a laughing stock and if Boxing needs him or if he is good for boxing then the sport has got big problems

In what manner did I dismiss it?

Boxing has got massive problems. A lot bigger than one fighter too.

What are your thoughts on Mike Tyson, Bernard Hopkins, Oscar De la Hoya and Sugar Ray Leonard?

What are your thoughts on Mike Tyson?

He should have been banned from the sport - he went from being a truely amazing boxer to an embarrassment and a joke with his actions both in and out of the ring

 

[One Planer]

For someone who doesn't care.......

The last time I checked, I was still entitled to an opinion regardless of my lack of empathy toward his circus.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Interesting that he retired before being stripped of the title and potentially banned. As I said before, an accident waiting to happen and it appears to have arrived. Some crass stuff on social media from Fury and the camp

Why didn't you comment on the other boxers he listed?

Because when I replied to the post it was just about Tyson and I don't know anything about the actions of the other boxers but it doesn't matter what other boxers have done it doesn't justify or excuse actions of Tyson Fury

No one is saying it does.
