CushtyJook 1,097 Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 The thing is when you put the hard work in like he has to become world champ. That gives you a platform to voice your opinions for the world to here. Like it or lump it he's got an opinion. No different from the bullshit Ali used to spout out. true, but the big difference is, ali was great boxer and fought some good boxers along the way, furry only fought 1 40 year old who prob past his best , that the BIG difference Give the man a chance ffs he's had 25 fights Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fury has given gypsies a voice,ok nobody listens yet but at least they can now be heard.........becoming a world champion gives someone a platform to be heard it doesnt come with automatic respect and adoration.

stevo79 569 Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I think this heavyweight division is going to be one of the best divisions for a while. At the moment furys champ and he's going to carry on saying what he thinks until Shannon Briggs knocks him out????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 5,689 Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I see he's fallen out with Barry McGuigan now. I'm not a big fan of McGuigan but he summed up Fury pretty well..., as "like a child [who] has no filter, no off button". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
