Lloyd90 Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Shame about his mental health. He’s level headed for 5 mins with his bipolar, not surprised, being the greatest in the world one minute, then trying to live a normal family life the next. Felt sorry for his wife and kids, one minute going on holiday, the next it’s cancelled at the last minute and all the kids have to unpack their bags and go to bed.

JDog Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Like the majority of others I have been deeply sceptical about Fury. I am sceptical no longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sian Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 I’ll celebrate anyone who makes progress with their mental health but I find it difficult to like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 A good mate's son-in-law used to spar with Tyson Fury. He says he is a smashing lad. I appreciate he has issues and his mood swings must be hard on his family, but when he is not depressed, he seems a genuine lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who knows boxing will know that sport rarely goes backwards, Mike Tyson would have killed Ali and Tyson fury would beat either of them everyday of the week, he's virtually in a different weight division.

FOXHUNTER1 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Tyson would have destroyed Fury , look at all the huge guys he knocked out , it was his speciality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXHUNTER1 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 He won the Heavyweight title at 20 yrs old and continued to unify all 3 titles.Winning 50 of his 58 fights , 44 by KO , only losing 6 fights which was at the end of his career. Dont think we will see the likes of him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we’ll never know will we! Having watched all of them fight whilst in their prime on TV......to try to judge them now, one against the other, is impossible!........All were the worlds best fighters “in their day”.....

12gauge82 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Iron Mike was a great, no doubt about it, but there's equally no doubt what so ever, he'd not even be a contender in today's heavy weight division, he'd be a David Haye, a good boxer not physically big enough to compete with the big boys.

From what I remember Tyson was a complete animal, and had speed far beyond anything that we'd seen at the time. I'd have a cheeky fiver on him against anyone out there today.

bruno22rf Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Pretty sure that Tyson was the most devastating Boxer the world has ever seen - to state that Fury could beat him is pure folly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Its certainly a fight I'd be happy to pay for on pay per view, both great fighters . Although the original Tyson, would be my favourite, Fury likes to keep opponents at range, Tyson goes in to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12gauge82 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) People are of course entitled to their opinion, but Tyson would loose badly in today's division and Ali wouldn't even be in it, I love nostalgia and I would never take away from what the greats of the sweat science achieved in their era's, but they wouldn't be effective competition today, people who know the sport wouldn't be disagreeing with me.
