Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I actually think its a shame and feel quite sorry in a way for someone like Peter Fury who in all fairness seems like a pretty sensible and amiable chap.......Fury has a chance of winning what was once the greatest prize in sport and like Bruno and possibly Lewis before him should be looking at becoming a much loved British sporting personality.....but instead due to the tastelessness,vulgarity and general idiocy that surrounds him he,s just a laughing stock who many people feel no allegiance to whatsoever.......much as i want him to win because he,s British thats the only reason most people want him to win which seems a shame but i guess its another drawback to not putting proven experienced people in place around you. I've followed boxing for all of my life, I remember sitting downstairs at silly hours with my dad when I was a kid listening to the radio when the likes of Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield were in the heavyweight division and I've never, ever thought about supporting a foreign boxer over a local one. Never. But I really am in 2 minds about this fight and as much as I want that heavyweight belt in the country, I really don't like this Fury fella. The only reason I want him to win, is so that I can see AJ take the belt off him. And that's sad really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brookie 1,193 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Fury won't last past the 4th round.wvlad will jab his head so much fury will be made to look like an amateur in there. we will be at bristol on the 14th of this month .bring all the money you can muster and il give you two to one on that it dont happen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
King. 215 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Well that depends if you can double the money I can bring Brookie. Saying that to someone could back fire if they turned up with 100k plus and was a pro gambler. Compared to the heavyweights of the 80s early 90s today's heavyweight ain't in the same league at all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I'm indifferent as to who wins. I don't think Fury has much chance,if he can make it a brawl then he can at least make it interesting,though Wlad will have prepared for that. At least he will give us a good fight,in that way he's very good for heavyweight boxing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon Brookie could cover that bet no problem, I think you need to be careful in case he takes you up on it atb AT I don't think he needs to be careful. We will just be seeing more of this...

Wrestled my conscience over this myself Gaz,but you know what,I hope he loses....I think hes bad for the sport,hes certainly no role model for kids etc he seems to have little respect for anything ,other than God...was on the regional news this week telling them he does not care about any one thing,other than going to heaven.Asked about wether he cared about winning the fight his response was strange....he cared that he had been given the chance he wanted....very non committal and a bit strange if Im honest If it makes me un patriotic ,so be it,I just cant reconcile his idiocy /contempt with my need for a British World Heavyweight Champ ....Im happy to wait for AJ for that,a British sportsman to be proud of 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
