Ffs give over.. the majority of people and I include myself in that bracket don't agree with his views on certain things but what I am focusing on is the boxing side of things. I AM A BOXING FAN, not a jump on the bandwagon when a big fight comes up fan, a boxing fan and fury for all his faults, is a breath of fresh air in a division that has been cradled by has beens and paupers for the past 13 years... check out Chris Arreola and kevin johnson to get an idea of calibre of heavyweights that have been knocking about the past few years

I'm not going to judge fighters on their political correctness although respect inside the ring is a must.

I'm sure you've found yourself hating Terry and Suarez. Why? It's not just because of who they play for, it's their actions.

Fury isn't just a shit human being, he's a shit boxer. There is no art or science in what he does in the ring.

I'm sure you've found yourself hating Terry and Suarez. Why? It's not just because of who they play for, it's their actions. That says it all. I ended up watching the fight on YouTube and the fight was boring as fuck. If fighters nowadays, especially heavyweights have too pump their gums saying how good they are when they are shite says it all in today's boxing, money rules and nothing else. The more controversial the fighter is by his remarks (Fury) then people end up paying too watch him wanting him too either get battered too hell or win. The old bank balance will tick over for him and his manager/trainer. I cant wait for Josh too hit the big time and yes, fighters are hand picked for him, bums as they say in the boxing world but they are picked as a learning curve and then go onto fighting other bums but up a level until his trainer/manager thinks he is ready too fight a guy that is ranked in the various organizations (WBA/WBC etc). Just like the great "Cus" D'Amato the trainer/manager of a young Mike Tyson. I have seen a lot of old and new fights over the years as an old git because I love boxing like a lot of others and there are only two fighters I have seen that could dance around a ring and still throw punches and either knock the other guy out or win on points and that is the great Ali and Jack Johnson. But they still got hit or punched by the other guy. That's why you have ringside judges who mark their cards and note down the points they have given too a certain fighter. Looking at Fury dancing around thinking he was another Ali made me laugh. The likes of him and other heavyweights around today would not last two rounds against the likes of Lennox Lewis and the other fighters before him. Heavyweight boxing, as I said before, hit the skids when Lennox retired undefeated and its not been the same since. Only Josh can bring heavyweight boxing back like it was once before and maybe a few more that are out there but it needs a good trainer/manager too spot them and bring them along. My opinion only and others may differ. "Smoking" Joe Frazier v Ali. The Thriller in Manila
The "Galveston Giant" Jack Johnson

One of my favourite things about Joshua is his ruthlessness. I know he hasn't faced anyone, really, but he forces openings with his power and then he is vicious in exploiting them. A lot of the highlights videos you see of him aren't really highlights, they're the basically the entire matches. Watching him is how I imagine boxing fans felt when Tyson was breaking through.

The issue I have with the fight last Saturday and its a fairly big one is that as much as he may have deserved to win the fight he didnt win it because of how he boxed. It's like me beating Ronnie O'Sullivan...If somebody moved each of the reds and put them over the pockets ready for me. People rave about him being the world heavyweight champion. The way he won and seeing him with those belts is a fucking embarrassment to the sport IMO.
He didn't win the fight, Klitschko lost it.
Fury has very little in terms of ability, he's just a great big lump of gypsy shite. If he was a foot shorter he'd have been put on his arse a lot more than he has. AJ would fucking ruin him and I can't wait to see it.

Christ a rematch has been announced for next year.
Borefest 2 awaits us.
Roll in Dec 12th. AJ to hopefully have his fight to secure a title showdown with El Gypsy and then Aldo knocking 7 shades of shit out of McGreggor.

Tyson Fury: World heavyweight champion stripped of IBF title
7 hours ago From the section Boxing World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has been stripped of his IBF title less than two weeks after winning it.
The Briton, 27, had to agree to fight the IBF's mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov but will instead face Wladimir Klitschko in a rematch. Fury beat Ukrainian Klitschko on points on 28 November to claim three versions of the heavyweight crown. Lindsey Tucker, championships chairman at the IBF, told BBC Sport: "It's true he's been stripped of his IBF belt." He added: "Our challenger was Vyacheslav Glazkov, but instead Fury's gone and signed a rematch clause with Wladimir Klitschko." Fury, who is unbeaten in 25 professional contests, retains the WBA and WBO versions of the heavyweight title, while the WBC belt is held by American Deontay Wilder. The 31-year-old Glazkov, also a Ukrainian, has won 21 of his 22 professional fights. The contract for last month's title fight in Dusseldorf included a clause for a rematch, for which the date and the venue have to be decided, and Klitschko - who had been world champion for 11 years - announced last week he would take up the option. Fury has been at the centre of controversy following his comments about women and gay people. The Manchester fighter has been quoted as saying a woman's "best place is on her back" and has criticised homosexuality and abortion. He subsequently said: "Tyson Fury loves his fellow humans. He doesn't hate anybody." Meanwhile, Greater Manchester Police are investigating an allegation of hate crime against Fury after a complaint was received following comments the fighter made on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/35047606

Hoorah, one step towards saving the face of boxing. For his sake he wants to hope they all get taken off him before Joshua gets a chance at taking his titles and his head off.

The alphabet organisations are dickheads. . How the fuck does one get stripped of a title he just won because he signed for a rematch against the former champ.. it just doesn't make sense.. surely the number one contender shud b the ex champ who has just lost said belts thus making him the mandatory ... ther is far too many titles in boxing.. ther should be the WBC and WBA and that's it
