    Fighting men is a joke, not one of the so called fighting men like to fight.

    I've always preferred the influence of Peter, regardless of his 'crime lord' past. A much more balanced fellow.

    Yeah Peter is far more likeable although that isn't saying much. You'd also think they would have kept quiet about Joshua's dealing conviction considering Peter's past but bizarrely they didn't.

    Peter also went down in my estimation in the build up to the Parker fight when as an ex drug dealer he started mocking people's addiction and kept quiet whilst said person was being guarded by Frans Botha. Says a lot about him as a man IMO.

    I may be a little biased toward Peter, as I always found him to be an absolute gentlemen back in the days when I used Twitter, years before Fury became champ. Guy ended up inviting me to visit their camp for the Cunningham fight completely unsolicited (they'd set up base in Canada, where I was a frequent visitor in those days, but I couldn't make it due to timing). Good manners, always appreciative of the support of Tyson's fans.

    How would we feel if it turned out that Canelo wasn't a Mexican and it was all a big scam?

    LOL yes sir. I was going to pretty much post something similar, anything AB.

    And I don't know of it was a "gimmick" so I'll refrain from the video link for now, but it was easily one of the stupidest events in boxing history. When Sam Peter wouldn't stop yelling out "Who Necks?" while they were trying to interview him. I almost think it was a gimmick they told him to do it seems so mindless.

    Then just as you think its over, Max tries to ask one more time who he plans to fight next, to which Sammy replies "I WANT GOOD NECKS!!"
