    He got gift decisions in his way to win olympic gold medal in London. Then he suddenly gets 20 lbs of pure muscle in 1 year after turning pro, claiming its all natural and vegan diet. And recently beat 41 year old past of prime Klitschko and gets huge credit of beating him.

    Is he product or boxer?

    I was against him but he earned my respect when he fought klitchko and beat him. and until he fails a drug test we can't really judge him on his muscle to be honest. although his gut has looked suspicious at times I will say that.

    Give him some more fights against top talent and you will have your answer. Personally, I think he is legit.

    I don't think he's vegan, dude eats like 8 eggs and half a salmon every morning. Are you confusing him with David Haye?

    Did he? That was the worst fight I can remember watching. Just awful. It should have been declared a no contest, it was so bad.

    Boxing can be ugly at times, But you have to remember when fury fought Wlad nobody had beaten him in like 10 yrs. Fury went overseas and just schooled him!
    May be ugly but Fury used his strengths to win and it worked. He was never gonna stand and trade if thats not what hes best at

    both probably. he showed he was a fighter against Wlad, if he wasn't he would have lost in the 5th. whatever is said about him (in some cases rightly so) he proved he had a fighters mentality gritting out that win.

    So you really think most stands up to that FULL fledged straight right hand and Joshua was also going forward which put more power on it? come ,on now?????? lol......That wouldnt have told us anything win or lose,except IT DID tell us Joshua can take a punch and Joshua LET him off the hook really in the 5th didnt he ? ( sorry but that was a 8/10 rnd...you cant win the last 30 seconds/1 min. and tell me otherwise) Wlad did not dominate that much to make ita 9/10 rnd....he just DIDNT.

    You cant just make it that plain/clear cut !


    Dont you think there would be many PRODUCTS in boxing if he was a product?????You HAVE to be a natural fighter to do this stuff at top level at least have that mentallity ...and thats not done with a made product ...thats done with born instincts to be able to be a fighter........Come on now? SMH

    Is this why Haye seems so injury prone?

    No, Haye is naturally a small HW who does explosive weight training and mass muscle gaining. His joints, muscles and ligaments have been through hell.

    I assume OP is trolling. He isn't a vegan and he turned pro in Oct 2013 weighing 230.75lbs and in Oct 2014 fight he weighed 236.5lbs, so he only gained 5.75lbs in his first year as a pro. I gained more than that on my last holiday lol.
