Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury compares himself to Larry Holmes after loss to Oleksandr Usyk

Why on earth would you think that? The man has never taken accountability for a single thing in his life. Mr. Boar Testicles cokehead himself.

Hell, he still carries a W on his record for that Christian Hammer fight even though it was supposed to be overturned to a no contest.

I thought he was full of himself. Talking himself up, claiming greatness. Some fake, some pure arrogance. But I also thought his northern upbringing and love of boxing history would kick in - all is fair in love and war, but when when you're beaten you shake the guy's hand and congratulate him.

Warren and Fury seem to think they can speak this robbery rubbish into existence. It's pretty low when we have a great of the sport who deserves his credit.

Fury, Joshua, Wilder, Dubois, they've all exhibited some truly pathetic behavior after being beaten. It's sad to see the heavyweight division run by a bunch of gigantic manbabies. Glad Usyk has cleaned up their mess.

I think No2 is neither of them. Dubois already iced AJ. No 2 could be any one of 3 or 4 fighters not including AJ.

Yes, dubois still has time to cement legacy. In reality fury is in a hard situation, maybe needing to fight ddd too

Tyson Fury is not nearly on the same level and "The Easton Assassin." Never was, never will be.

Tyson Fury for the first time in his career, when he really needed to? Was unable to throw caution to the wind 'The instructions in the corner from Sugar Hill Steward were very clear, going into the last round. Tyson Fury could not leave any doubt, who the victor was in the fight. But yet again? Fury instead chose to his credit, shadow box with good form and just cross the line in round 12'.

Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois 'Soon as he was hurt badly in round one, immediately began to throw caution to wind. Completely uncharacteristic behaviour from Joshua, but? In retrospect when we look back at his IBF World title fight with Daniel Dubois now. 'It was Anthony Joshua in his losing effort, who truly went out like a fighting man and not Tyson Fury'.

Note: Tyson Fury in my opinion, is now in a worst career position than Anthony Joshua 'The reason why I say this? Is because Tyson Fury in reality, has lost his last three fights. Tyson Fury did not win his fight vs Francis Ngannou, and now he has just been beaten twice back to back by Oleksandr Uysk I & II'.

And during the process of those three fights, to a certain degree 'His fighting reputation has been utterly smashed to bits. We have seen Fury fight to survive vs Francis Ngannou, and then get bulled by a 220 pound former cruiserweight fighter who? Has never been renowned for his punching power or brute strength, the great Oleksandr Uysk I & II'.

If Tyson Fury continues to fight on now, there will be demand for him to fight Anthony Joshua 'In a fight which is actually stylistically, a more difficult fight for him to win than Oleksandr Uysk I & II'.

I would be very surprised if Tyson Fury even whispers the two words 1:Anthony 2:Joshua 'Honestly? I am not that optimistic of this fight happening. Because if Tyson Fury is being pushed around the ring by Oleksandr Uysk, who yes is a great skill for skill boxer. But Uysk great as a fighter he is? Does not have the share physicality, brute strength and power of Anthony Joshua combined with World to Elite level boxing skills when he operating at top form'.

To conclude: Tyson Fury and his team, have always known that Anthony Joshua 'Would be a extreme stylistically challenge for him, an even greater obstacle to overcome than Oleksandr Uysk for Fury specifically at this stage of his career'.

That is why originally Tyson Fury chose to fight Deontay WIlder all those years ago 'Because Wilder, stylistically looked to be the easiest fight for him with the reward of a World title. The Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury trilogy instead was not quite the easy affair Fury may have expected, in reality? Only one of those three fights, can be rated as a dominant win by Tyson Fury and that was their second fight. But the trilogy of fights between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury, is still the greatest heavyweight rivalry of this boxing era'.

Oleksandr Uysk during the aftermath of his rematch vs Tyson Fury, stated that he aspires to still fight on and defend his World titles 'So, I would say that there is a future potentiality, that ether Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua even in their position now? Could somehow fight there way back into a trilogy fight with Oleksandr Uysk III'.

But in order for this to happen, I believe that Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have to confront each other inside the boxing ring 'The victor of their fight, can then fight the winner of Joseph Parker vs Daniel Dubois for the IBF World Heavyweight title. That would be the ideal route back towards a trilogy fight with Oleksandr Uysk III, for both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua' etc.

The only gifts in Tyson Fury's recent fights have been the split decisions. He should have lost to Ngannou, and the first fight should have been a UD loss or a KO9 loss if there had been a different ref.

[Superbee]

• First Fight after being saved by the Ref in the 9th: "Usyk won ? Fair deal and props to him... No excuses..."
• Second Fight after being outboxed for a 8-4 loss: "Usyk got a Xmas gift... I won that fight by a huge margin.."

Fury is a poor soul....

Never should this fools name (which is actually Luke) be mentioned in anything near the same category, sentence, conversation of any kind as the is worlds away from Larry Holmes in terms of opposition faced. Holmes was robbed against spinks and that’s pretty much fact. The bigger robbery although, the prize was nowhere near as great was that of the John McDermott 1st fight. Never in a British ring has there been such legalised robbery and there’s been some.

I agree with a lot of your post but I strongly disagree that AJ is worse style matchup for Fury.

[BustedKnuckles]

Rather, Fury should probably compare himself to Wilder after he beat Wilder--so full of denial.
