    No other British level fighter gets the same vitriol directed at him.

    As I see it, he is;

    -British level
    -Commonwealth Champ
    -Undefeated
    -Entertaining
    -A decent guy
    -Happy to take on all comers
    -Skilled


    Bearing in mind the level he is at, explain to me why he gets such ****?

    I don't hate him, I just think he is a terrible fighter. I think what did it for me was when he punched himself in the head I just can't take him seriously after that.

    Understood. That is fine, but he does get a **** more abuse than his relative merits warrant.
    Fat Mick has got him on TV. This is a good thing.

    with 17 fights on his record, he has won english, British and Commonwealth titles. He took on a very decent gatekeeper fighter in McDermott, twice. Beaten very comfortably a guy who got robbed in a euro title tilt and got himself a shot at a world title. Fury has taken the 0 of no less than 4 fighters and since his debut only fought 3 fighters with a negative record. One of those being a very tough, very underrated zack page.

    The point isn't about his record, it is that Tyson is a British level fighter. No other British level fighter gets this amount of abuse. Why?

    Khan takes more **** I recon.

    I think every British boxing fan would love to see Tyson come good, but at the moment it seems he has found his level. A new trainer and attitude is required to try and go to the next step.... oh and punching himself in the face was damn funny!

    Khan is well above British level.

    Fury has tried a good number of trainers. How is it you think British fans want him to succeed? He gets nothing but abuse from British fans. Fans of Irish boxing generally recognise his level and hope for the best.

    Have to agree. Khan is probably the most unpopular British fighter out there at the moment and many just want him to fail.

    I actually enjoy Fury's fights but just think he needs to sort his attitude out.

    Have I phrased this really badly?

    What do you mean by attitude?

    Tyson Fury is a fighter but don't make the mistake of considering him to be a boxer.

    He's a huge thug with a tiny bit of technical ability - he can't/shouldn't fight at world-level because he will get hurt... actually i'd pair him with Wladimir Klitschko next fight...<whistle>

    No he didn't..

    He said that he'd fight them now and he'd beat them now but he'd prefer to fight them in 18 months time when he is ready for them.

    Of course, he could fight them in 3 years and still lose, that ain't the point. He knows he ain't ready. He thinks he will be. Few others do.

    Maybe the problem is that people don't actually listen.

    Come on, you have to separate the bluff and bluster from what he is actually saying.

    i like what he brings but I am not under any illusion as to what level he is at.

    I do struggle with why he is disliked to the extent he is disliked. He is good for Boxing, as limited as he is. He is the top line in fat Micks promotion and he has boxing on Free TV!!

    He is Borderline euro level. Plenty of fighters are. None get the grief Tyson does.

    This is what i meant by his attitude. He thinks he can beat the Klitschko brothers but he would get battered by them.

    if you like what he brings we cant be watching the same fights ,he is a fat lump of lard who hits himself and as far as good for boxing goes he should just stick to being a bare nuckle head pikey prizefighter ,he wont go much further and hes only on channel5 so his dad and ex trainer can watch from there prison cell
