[@ProgressiveHouse-]

When observing Tyson's conduct and his adept manipulation of the truth, it's clear that Teddy lacks knowledge about Tyson Fury or his culture. Tyson has evaded facing Usyk on four occasions, each time accompanied by a string of falsehoods seemingly endorsed by the English boxing media. As knowledgeable as Teddy is about boxing and much more, he is quite off the mark on this one. With Tyson, it's more probable that he is at fault than innocent, so for Teddy to claim to understand the situation involving Tyson is somewhat naive, to say the least.

[@murdock6450]

I couldn't agree more..I was hoping to hear that Teddy was disappointed and that why would he be so scared if he says he's the best since Ali etc.

[@stevo1516]

💯 agreed

[@radumotoroiu1024]

@@murdock6450 old people tend to get senile when they get older , or maybe he is good friend with Tyson Fury's father ! Because i can't explain either his option to chose not to say it like it is !

Fury’s always been a ducker, ducked Price, ducked the Wlad rematch, ducked Ustinov…Usyk on the other hand is one of the best cruiser weights ever

[@tristhekid]

According to the guy he didn’t elbow him, the glove hit him. It didn’t look like good sparring for Usyk at all

[@Nemoticon]

Boy who cried wolf... yeah, sure the cut is probably legit, it happens. But when it comes to Fury, there's always a problem and they are always so conveniently timed. Fury is an ADHD, bi-polar cartoon character and it's ALWAYS the same with him. If it's not one problems, it's another. No one believes a word uttered out of the camp for Team Fury, thy're just having you on and mugging you off every single time. Fury isn't even annoyed by the fight being postponed, he's proud of his little cut, he couldn't be happier, almost as if he wanted it all aong. Zero credibility and zero sympathy.

[@lordfarquard9902]

Agree with everything but Fury being “happy” with the cut. That’s just embarrassing honestly 😅

[@Nemoticon]

@@lordfarquard9902 Look at all his posts ans responses, he's parading ihs little cut like it's a badge of honour, he loves it.

[@lordfarquard9902]

@@Nemoticon Nobody believed the cut. Then nobody believed he didn’t have his own face slashed with a knife to avoid the fight. When I say nobody, I don’t mean people with a grasp of the boxing world like ex world champions and promoters such as Eddie “Fury lies” Hearn, of course they know the fans are full of shit. When I say nobody, I mean the entirety of the KZbin boxing community, which has took a hard slide south in terms of credibility following these outrageous conspiracy theories 😅

I agree. Especially with all his criticism that Usyk is cruiser weight. He dosent want to lose to "gappy tooth" cruiser weight 😅

[@tristhekid]

Please Teddy, Don’t compare Fury to Ali. He can’t promote like Ali. He can’t box as good as Ali was. You were around for Tommy Morrisons prime, Ray Mercer and Lennox Lewis, you know and I know that Fury or any HW today, can’t compare to these people. We all know that Usyks skills are far superior

[@tristhekid]

Also, Fury drops his opposite hand when he throws body shots too, leaning forward with his chin out

[@hoover2501]

You are correct ,sir!!!

[@malachisgrace1047]

We agreed with the first part then you went off the rails.

[@tedoneil7464]

Lennox would have been the best fight out of the above mentioned; size height and skill wise Fury would have beat Morrison Mercer Ali quite easily in my opinion; Then again it looked like Lewis would lose against Vitali if Vitali didn’t get cut he probably would have beat Lewis; None of these men have the frame size of Fury or the reach or height Fury isn’t just tall either he’s a big unit; Everyone knows that height and weight take away some speed and mostly agility but Fury seems to cope well in these departments; As they say a good big man beats a good small man, I am pretty confident that Fury will take Uysk at 4/5 in the bookies it’s a tasty bet; His biggest issue is inconsistency; Let’s not forget Frazier knocked Ali out and Frazier couldn’t hit Fury if they were matched up; Frazier was great to watch similar to Mike Tyson but the size of Fury plus the set of skills of Fury is hard to overlook, He’s a big unit!

[@tedoneil7464]

Ali 6,2” Mercer 6” Morrison 6,2” Lewis 6,5” As I said Lewis Fury would have been a good fight still I would lean towards Fury. Holyfield, Hashim Rahman and Oliver McCall all beat Lewis I think they would all be beat by Fury in fairness, Vitali had him on the scorecards and Mike Tyson was done by the time they met; Bowe vs Lewis was a big miss

[@freedom4life123]

Of course he is ducking this fight, fury knows that Usyk is a different animal compared to any of his previous cherry picked opponents. Come on you cant be that naive as to not know fury doesnt want this smoke.

[@totenfurwotan4478]

[@tshepangharrison2021]

Can people stop talking about fury and the media boycott him? That would save the shit show that it is modern boxing

[@evenrb]

I choose to believe Fury cut himself to get out of the fight. People say that's ridiculous, but remember, reaching the top requires an insane drive to be the best. Many athletes misuse their bodies with illegal substances to achieve this, like Fury with nandrolone. Therefore, undergoing a surgical and safe intervention to gain that extra mental and physical edge doesn't surprise me. Keep in mind, Fury has now pulled out of the Usyk fight three times. Usyk vs. Fury at Wembley 29.04.23 - Fury keeps moving the goalposts. He didn't even attend a training camp. Usyk vs. Fury in Saudi 23.12.23 - Fury couldn't fight due to a beating from Ngannou, a debutant. Usyk vs. Fury in Saudi 17.02.24 - Rumors start occurring that Fury is getting destroyed in sparring, while Usyk is doing great. Fury gets a cut right afterward.

Fury put himself into this position. The fact that fans are so paranoid about everything he does says it all. He has been talking so much nonsense for years, that everyone is sceptical about everythig he does. I believe this was just a bad luck, but life just works like that. It will bite you in the worst moment possible. I feel sorry for Usyk and his team, tho. They have been pushing for this fight to happen for so long, first the 70/30 nonsens, then Ngannou fight while Usyk was already in camp for december, having to reschedule. Now this again. Hard to stay focused. I hope it will finally happen in may. Fingers crossed.

[@joecole4226]

So many ppl hating on fury , " hes on the decline" , " hes scared of usyk" etc etc etc . Look at the greats who underperformed in fights they was supposed to win throughout history , Lewis v McCall, Tyson v Douglas , Joshua v Ruiz, all these favorite lost whereas Fury has always found a way to win when he's underperformed . He shows up when it matters , also all this hate and bitterness towards fury reminds me so much of when joe Calzaghe fought Jeff lacy . Calzaghe was written off " he's only fought bums " his records padded " look what happened . Not because I'm a fan of fury because I follow boxing and I truelly feel fury will be at his best against usyk and sorry all you haters but , fury at his best beats usyk whatever game plan usyk brings . Looking at all the comments saying how brilliant n skillfull usyk is .I hope you same people will be honest n admit being wrong when fury has done a job on him n winning be enough for you haters to stop , or will it be " usyks too small" , fury cheated lol ffs I cannot wait to hear the bullshit excuses from you haters 😂 Fury wins , looking forward to the bs honestly can't wait

I agree with Teddy on this one. I am just extremely disappointed. I don’t believe all the conspiracy theories out there do a lot of conspiracy theorist on the Internet bunch of Looney Tunes. In my opinion I understand being cynical skeptical, but when you get presented with fax and you still don’t believe, that’s when you venture into conspiracy territory. I saw somebody say he is the happiest person in the world right now talking about fury he’s happy about missing out on a eight or nine figure payday that doesn’t make any sense. It’s probably nine figures, considering for the fight against Francis he supposedly made $50 million, I don’t think what a fighter makes should be public knowledge not only is it nobody’s business but me personally, I don’t care I’m not getting a percentage of that money.
