Maybe so mate, like you say it's a bad bunch, they could all beat each other on the night..

Fury went AWOL for a couple of years, has fought 3 bums and done pretty well against an average champion.... but still grabbed a draw from the jaws of victory lol AJ, became world champion has fought a few decent fighters and lost badly against one of them.... The problem is for some it always comes down to if your a Fury man or a Joshua man... I'm neither to be honest, I'd like to see them fight...could go either way, both a bit chinny, one may stay out of the way for 12 rounds the other may catch him...who knows?? For me Fury just isn't heavy handed enough to really worry any of the top fighters, he will win fights obviously with his tap and move style, fair play to him..but he ain't no great imo... It's only interesting because they are all average but with different styles... I meant the sentence at the end mate lol about cracking America Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What was he up to @gnasher16 Sorry mate ive been sunning it for a while so missed this....in all honesty he didnt come into my mind until Tyson Fury came on the scene ,i remember he had jet black hair had a bit of an Elvis look going on !....i didnt know anything about the whole eye gouge thing thats nothing to do with me we all have dark periods in life i wouldnt judge anyone on something like that....i barely knew the man never spoke more than a few words in gym pleasantries years ago im sure he,s an ok chap now ...but he was known as a trouble maker with too much mouth constantly offering to fight people in fields and suchlike when its well known the man only ever had 2 bareknuckle fights in his life 1 of which got stopped by police the other both men shook hands and called it a draw when they was knackered. A lad from near me Henry Akinwande knocked him unconscious for about 5 minutes and then told him if it had been on the cobbles he would of killed him ...the only time i witnessed his carry on was in a gym in Yorkshire me and another London lad were up there for sparring,well it was a busy gym and Fury had been sparring someone i forget who but the lad got a cut and had to stop so Frank Grant asked if he could take his place,Frank was a good fighter but only a middleweight and Fury was insulted that a middleweight dare take him on so went to town really trying it on with Frank but like i say Frank was a good fighter and had the better of it....Fury kicked off in the changing rooms saying he wasnt fit,he,d had a long drive there etc .....Frank tells him to shut up moaning and Fury starts the old " lets take it outside " carry on.....well i dont know what he,s like these days but Frank wasnt a man to be pushed and knew his way around on a street level and so follows Fury outside in the pouring rain running round in his underpants screaming at him to fight him but Fury jumps in his van and wheel spins away with Frank kicking the door in trying to open it. Neil Malpass the heavyweight had a similar set to with him after Neil beat him,the other one Hugh i think his name was fought on the same show...and again John asked to meet Neil for a " fair fight " and then never showed.....ive no axe to grind with him like i say we've all acted daft when we was younger but watching him talk all moralistic like that just sticks in the throat a little bit thats all. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AJ and fury are 2 of the biggest names in boxing not just heavyweight boxing. Dont know why they feel they need to go to America to be considered the real deal Same here mate, I think only 9000 watched fury v schwartz live......he could of filled Wembley if he fought Joshua there when he couldn’t get an opponent! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I watched a video once when John was asked about his professional career and why he never went any further and he admitted that guys like akinwande were a different league to him as they were proper boxers and he was really just a show fighter/sparring partner for them.

Thats it mate one of Phil Martins early fighters....that was a good gym remember Carl Thompson,Ensley Bingham,few other names i forget now it was a proper shithole above a crappy little co op in Moss Side when Moss Side first became known round the country as a bit of a dodgy area ...Maurice Core was another one he went on to run it after Phil died if im not wrong....some good fighters came out of that gym Frank Grant should probably have gone further than he did i remember him losing at the York Hall on cuts i think it was and he just went by the wayside after that, Edited July 14, 2019 by gnasher16 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
