Comments Thread For: Team Fury: Hughie Suffered Lower Back Injury, Not Medically Fit

[juggernaut666]

It's funny how many people predicted that this exact thing would happen from the moment the fight was talked about

I think this was the last straw for the Fury family for me. I might start caring again when one of them is actually in a ring again, and not a day before

The original date was for April 1st .....that was a clear giveaway ,in the end it still turned out to be a joke .

Do the doctors in the UK tend to be that corrupt?

I don't think it matters whether they're from the UK, US or Africa. Throw a little money at a doctor and they can sign off on anything. What do they have to lose? Nothing. And everything to gain ($$$).

I mean this is the place where doctors write prescriptions for powerful drugs for cyclists with hayfever, getting them exemptions for PEDS that just happen to be injected pre-race (see Bradley Wiggins et al).

The point is, there's no profession that's above corruption, and the UK is not some magically pure land of integrity.

Lol getting hold of a dodgy sicknote isn't the hardest thing to do over here!

It has little to do with doctor corruption. In fact, it has nothing to do with it. Pain can't be proven or disproven. Like a headache, back pain is diagnosed by the patient's description to the doctor. The patient says he can't move in a certain way, has pain, etc, the doctor documents a back injury. A doc doesn't have to be corrupt. This happens for thousands of people every day.
Which, is why a boxer chooses a back injury if he wants to fake it. You can't prove him wrong.

I don't think that's fair to assume at all, to be honest, and Hughie and Tyson are two different people. I don't know exactly what you are referring to but Tyson has never pulled out of a fight before, nor for illegitimate reasons, blaming him for his depression/mental issues would be classless so I hope you aren't referring to that. He called out the champ until he landed the mandatory, and boxed his ears off. What more can you ask of the guy?

Anyway taking fights that happen on their terms isn't something K2 came up with, and it's certainly not something Golovkin came up with. Fighters and teams have been doing this for years. And at what point are you going to stop trying to hold fighters accountable for things their promoters do? It's ******ed.



Everything else like what exactly? Be specific, because all i've seen or read as of late is speculation, and unwarranted criticism.

I didn't believe a word of that

oh, so..... Tyson was a mental wreck, and could not possibly consider proceeding with the planned Klitschko rematch

..... but, suddenly....... after Klitschko committed to Joshua..... suddenly Fury is back with a vengeance and will fight in May

mental injury = back injury = neither can be proven..... so neither are a breech of contract

same thing

and this is why he did it.....

when Fury returns (LOL).... he can select his opponent, and command a huge FORTUNE for doing so..... as he is still the UNDEFEATED heavyweight kingpin

he took Klitschko's ball and went home

come on man





and btw, I am a Fury fan..... but, it is what it is

It's because you are a fellow Fury fan that I find your take on it so surprising.

I just can't agree with the idea that a guy who not only beats a guy, but boxes literal circles around him in a true BOXING LESSON, would ever avoid facing him again, unless it makes zero financial/legacy sense. Furthermore, Fury is one of the last fighters I would ever believe is shook of anyone, or anything for that matter.

I legitimately believe that his return to boxing has nothing to do with Wlad fighting AJ, I think his return was tabbed for right around this time regardless, and iirc, he announced his return for this May before Wlad's fight became official.

If anything Fury must be pissed his belts are getting passed around by lesser fighters, I hope it's extra motivation for him to tear through the division again.

Either way, regardless of who is right or wrong, I have no doubt that Fury will beat all of: Wlad, AJ, Wilder, Ortiz, Povetkin, Miller, and yes, as much as I don't want to see him lose anytime soon, Parker.

[Tomjas]

I'll be surprised if Fury fights anytime soon as guy is as big as a house

What's more, it's highly unlikely he'll be succesful given what he has done to his body

it makes zero legacy sense, IF Fury gets beaten

that rematch would be MUCH harder imo

it would be a much more physical fight, and a much more difficult fight to win..... and, I think I would just about favor Klitschko

Fury took control of his own destiny..... now he can fight when he wants, against who he wants, for whatever he wants..... because he is still the undefeated heavyweight kingpin

that is a super-smart business decision..... besides, Fury already holds a win over Klitschko..... so nobody can say a damn thing

and, he will be back

I like Fury, he is one of my favorite fighters..... I have never said a bad word about him..... I just keep it real

put it this way, this is my take on Parker.....

hard luck Parker, Wilder is right

the folks who question Wilders resume need to remember that he had no control over Povetkin..... also, Parker (and Joshua) made themselves fair game when they elected to fight for a title

they were either ready, and if so, then lets go champ..... or they were not ready, in which case, cop the flak and wear it proudly

this was always going to happen

this is exactly the same principle as Joshua/Klitschko, perhaps without the payday

Parker should take that fight, because he said he was ready

I don't believe that Tyson needed psychiatric help

I think he is smarter than most of us

I completely disagree with the bolded, I think it would be easier for Fury the same way Maidana was easier for Floyd the second time around. I also don't consider Fury to be the kind of fighter to ever avoid a risky fight for the sake of preserving legacy - in fact avoiding fighters is damaging to your legacy in itself, it's a counter-productive endeavor.

I do agree with your last sentence though.
