"Should have been banned for life from boxing. Why is athletics different from boxing. if you've been found to be a drug taker then you should be banned end of. If I'm guilty of taking illegal substances I'm fired from work no explanation needed. " this, fair play to him for sorting his life out, but to make him a hero is wrong, most people dont know the back story, he was a massive fuck up, and yes hes turned the courner and fair play to him, but other sportsmen and women dont get that chance, right or wrong, and to the , above, i agree, at best an ok boxer, but not one of the greats | |||

"He overcame adversity and triumphed. Good ob him. Hardly a reason for knighting. An average heavyweight that wouldn't fare well against the greats." This argument is invalid. He is a great of his time, you can’t compare him to someone from the past. | |||

Sure he can be the heavyweight champion & all that jazz but lets not throw Fury on the honours list for fucking up his own life then getting it back on track when people do that everywhere everyday! He’s just a big dude who spent half of that fight leaning all over smaller dude. Lewis Hamilton should be knighted! Yeah I said it! | |||

"Terrible singer though good job he can thump hard to earn a living. " Did you ever hear Mike Tyson sing in "the hangover"? - now that's terrible singing.. Having just re-watched the youtube clip of it, I can say the U.S. government could use his singing to torture prisoners in guantanamo bay. | |||

"What ever you may think of him. One of the best technical heavy weight boxers this country has ever produced. He has fought and beaten every man put in front of him and not shyed away from anyone. He has also created a lot more interest in boxing, at a time when things were getting dull. Will AJ fight him ? I hope so. Does he warrant a knighthood..no. Best technical boxers he isn’t, he’s just a big guy who wears people out leaning on them then throwing his big arms at them, he did Klitschko the same way just didn’t KO him. He’ll prob do the same to AJ unless AJ can keep him away with the jab. Ok...but not sure what fights you have been watching and what pundits you listen to. Best technical HEAVYWEIGHT .. he's been schooled in boxing from the age of 6 by pro fighters. This is not some playground bully or pub carpark slugger. If you watched his fight on Saturday, you will have seen a man who boxed his way to victory. couldn't agree more He’s just a big guy, he had points deducted on Saturday for leaning on Wilder & Wilder can’t box for shit. The same schooling since he was 6yrs old also taught him how to uppercut himself Don’t dare talk to me about boxing technique & use this man as an example He’s just a lump, that’s all. Fair play to him for his achievements but lets take our foot off the gas with all the accolades yeah " Again not sure what fight you watched. Fury had 1 point, not points deducted for striking a punch after the referee had given instructions to break. I appreciate you are not a fan but judge by what you see and maybe not by what you want to see. Fury is the best heavyweight boxer that there is at the moment. You may not like that but that's a fact. Wilder is a brawler not a boxer but has been credited with the hardest punching power in the past 20 years and that makes him dangerous. Fury took all that Wilder had. Could AJ have done the same...after watching him fight Ruiz ...I don't think so. | |||

Hope it does though. I'm a big AJ fan aswell but my cash would go on TF. | |||

"Throw him in the Octagon, lets see how hard he really is That’s like saying put Michael Phelps in a race with Usain Bolt. " Utterly pointless argument. Brock lesnar was just a fake wrestler wasn't he??? Didn't achieve anything in ufc at all???? It's a perfectly acceptable. Argument. Phelps against Hussain with playing field levelled would be quite good I reckon. You need to do your research more!! | |||

"Harvey Weinstein was given a CBE so why not Tyson fury?" Maybe because the media painted him as a monster in his early days. Tyson cited verses from the Bible and the media played it against him. There is an interview on YouTube where Tyson is grilled about it by Jeremy vine and two other guests and Tyson owns them all. | |||

"That man is incredible.. He fought his demons .. Came back and triumphed over his demons.. Should be knighted " Why? For beating the shit out of people with his fists until they drop? I've never understood boxing. The whole purpose is to beat an opponent to the ground causing brain trauma and in some cases death or permanent a brain injury. No doubt he's fucking minted. There are others more deserving of a knighthood that do good work selflessly for little money and no acknowledgment. | |||

The gloves are also checked again by the ref and again after the fight is over. | |||

"That scum is a homophobic bastard that spouts hate speech. I've got nothing but condemnation for it. Why has it not been charged with hate offences? " Why should he get charged for citing versus out of the Bible? He said he loves gay people, he said he loves everyone and he said he has gay friends and he said he doest hate anyone. He also apoligised if he hurt anyone. Yet he says something from the Bible and that is held against him for ever more | |||
