    How about self-proclaimed, so-called "real fightin' men" who bang on-and-on claiming that they [1] will fight anybody, anyplace, anytime and for any reason; [2] regularly beat up 30ish year old men when they were 10 years old; and [3] will "destroy" anyone that gets in the ring with them.

    When, in actually, they: [1] bottle it with fake injuries and other lame excuses at the drop of a hat; [2] hardly fight at all; [3] when they do get in the ring they are running, dancing and slapping trying to win by seeing if they can steal rounds by outlanding someone 8 punches to 5 punches; [4] try to gain advantages with PEDs and chicken-xxxx promotional stunts and [5] don't have enough punching power to bust a grape.

    Can anyone guess to whom I refer? :lol::lol::lol:

    Maybe if it were a straight up xenomorph mask.

    Gimp mask had potential. Add a gag ball and leather collar. He almost had it.

    FMJ always throwing dollar bills at the camera, always flashing the "money" some how during the build up. Personally I like him way better as Pretty Boy Floyd. But being "Money" made him more money. Still cringe worthy.

    I think John Fury is without a doubt the most cringe inducing of the Fury clan. He has none of the childish charm of Tyson, he just comes across like an idiotic bully who folds at the first sign of an actual challenge.

    The 'proper fighting men' BS all stems from him IMO.

    I think he means well, but he can be overbearing and belligerent in defense or praise of his family. He makes valid points, but could benefit from toning down the bluster. You can see definite shades of John in Tyson, but it's tempered with a genuine, natural personal charm and air of approachability the old man doesn't have.

    Indeed. John talks rubbish about being the 'hardest man in Britain' whilst crying his way to jail, he comes out with crap like he'd batter Lennox Lewis on the cobbles when he was pretty much hopeless in the ring and generally comes across as a totally contemptuous *****.

    Whereas you get the feeling with Tyson that he means well but has issues and is much more a product of his environment. Had he grown up in a different household I don't think he'd have a lot of the problems he has now.
