Great performance by Fury, but let's be honest Wilder isn't much of a boxer.
He had a punchers chance but was outclassed in both fights.
Far tougher opponents await him.
Seriously? He’s the unbeaten belt holder with numerous defences again good heavyweights with an unbelievable knockout ratio.
Who are these far tougher opponents that you speak of? Just name 3 of them?

Fury's entrance cracked me up. You can't help but love and laugh at how the guy carries himself so well.
I think he's cocky and perhaps sometimes arrogant because he feels he has to be that way.
Be honest Frank......he looked an absolute tw@t with that entrance.

He looked like a clown - but funny at the same time, and it made me laugh.
He clearly didn't give a toss what people thought of him, and he won.

I'm not as testing as you MRG, I'll settle for 2.

People have been saying this about him for years. But you don't match Alis record. And Win so many fights by knockout. And have the battle he had last time out with Fury if he wasn't much of a boxer.
Big thing this time for me was the weight gain.

I think you are overlooking the fact that he is suggesting that Ruiz is a tougher opponent than Wilder

Wilder is exercising his right for a rematch.
Said Fury "didn't hurt him" and then came out with a laughable excuse for losing.
See if you can guess what he said

He wore the wrong costume. He had asked for Delboys Batman costume for the ringwalk but they misheard him and gave him the Blackman costume for black history month instead.

Aye, the costume was too heavy and made his legs a bit weak after walking to the ring with it on.
Nothing to do with being thumped harder than he's been thumped before and losing his senses whilst being knocked around the ring.

Fury caught Wilder on the temple early on, just like AJ got caught off Ruiz. Only there in body after that.

At least he has a personality,and shows his vulnerabilities to the world,he's got a good chance,but don't forget it's an Olympic year,and also the Euro's,so i'm sure he'll face stiff competition.

I can't see anyone matching his story in the Olympics, forget the Euro's as England aren't that good imho. A lot will depend on if he wins the rematch if that happens this year (which I suspect it will)

Having never been convinced by Fury up until his first fight with Wilder, I am a 180 degree turnaround and admit I was wrong. His tactics inside the ring matched those of his mind games outside the ring. It was a masterful performance and puts him at undisputed No 1 in my eyes.

Oh! absolutely if he wins the rematch then it would be a travesty if he wasn't SPOTY.

He also donated 9mil Purse to homeless/rehab charities apparently!.......Top man.
They won't knight him though, he's a Romany....Gypsy (for you right leaners)...don't you know.

Gotta Love Tyson Fury...watching him doing his fitness training on instagram outside his house in morecambe..next to traditional semis and a bus stop outside the front Door. Talk about being grounded. Looks in a good place mentally to.

Moaning about the cost of a carvery at his local Toby Carvery on a Sunday because the price goes up, cracked me up and digging through the rubbish at the tip looking for any decent things. He’s extremely grounded away from the acting he does to build up fights, even that’s toned down these days as he doesn’t really need to do it

I would agree with his view of a Sunday Toby Carvery price, compared to a weekday!

Branded. Guess what!!??
