    No, he HAS to travel.

    So you genuinely think if he could fill Wembley he'd still travel? He'd be fighting for much less money, so why would he do that?

    He's never showed to be a true "fighting man". Sure, he'll fight the champ - but wouldn't you if you didn't do much to deserve it?

    I genuinely don't recall him beating TOP HW challengers on the way to both title shots. I don't. It was strategy that got him there.

    All sorts of demons? Wow, I have a bridge to sell you. He was obese, nothing more to it. He's making songs with Robbie Williams now, so where are these demons now then? Gone away have they? Ok buddy.

    But look who Wilder fights next. A guy who nearly had him out of there, and also happens to be a top contender.

    Look who Fury fights next... Thank you!

    He was unconscious when he hit the canvas. He admits to this himself. He also admits he only woke up when his head banged the canvas.

    So are you suggesting that Fury was lying about everything? Do you know him personally? It's quite low to stoop to those levels don't you think? I thought you were better than that. I personally am just glad that he's managed to get his life back on track for not only himself, but for Paris, his 5 kids and his extended family as well. Thankfully he didn't have someone like yourself around when he was going through all sorts of mental health problems otherwise who knows what might have happened...

    And yes, I still maintain that he would always fight absolutely anywhere. He's proven that.

    From the same man that said he will donate all of his purse to charity, but not do so (anyone who lies or thieves from charities is pure scum) can never be trusted.

    The vast majority of people LOVE sympathy seeking. That's why nearly everyone seems to put "RIP Gran" for everyone to see on social media.

    This Mental Health fad is perfect for today's society. Most people don't give a crap about others who are genuinely suffering with depression or anxiety. They just want all the sympathy on them. See, the thing is, people with genuine anxiety will not be putting their issues all over social media as that would trigger the anxiety even more. It's easy for the fake, sympathy seekers to tell those with REAL anxiety to talk about their issues, but nah, in the real world, that's not how it works.

    "Hate suffering from anxiety" Becca 22, who has her arse on show on her Instagram display picture. It makes me sick.

    Something else that I admired about Fury that night is that he took it extremely well. Didn't parade around like a drama queen, he took it like a man and moved on. He deserves a lot of credit for that.

    How many times do we have to have these threads...lads, it’s a different thread title, same content, as per the popular quote ‘same s**t different toilet’.

    I see the same posters making the same posts, and I’m on about both sides of the debate here. I respect all of you, even though I don’t always agree with you. There are elements of truth on both sides. I do think until Joshua and Fury fight next, we’ve sort of hit a brick wall in how we can develop/push on the debate apart from regurgitating the same old stuff...which we’re doing.

    Just pointing it out, gents. As you were.

    Joshua knocked out a better version of Wlad, so you're wrong there.

    Fury’s the sort of guy who says gay people should be killed, women shouldn’t be outside the bedroom or kitchen and lies about donating to charity? Why wouldn’t he lie about other things?

    Hard to believe people take him seriously. The only example I can think of which suggests Fury is genuinely mentally ill is that he thought Venezuela was a good name for one of his kids.

    It was a better version of Klitschko, you are absolutely correct, because he was allowed to be. This was due to the styles of both fighters which gelled and made for a very entertaining fight.

    Tyson Fury’s style is to negate and stifle. Joshua comes forward to knock you out. Surprise surprise which fight Klitschko looked better in.

    The first paragraph was lazy, and just the same stuff you churn out on a regular basis on Fury threads.

    The second paragraph was quality.

    Just getting older doesn’t make you worse necessarily. Hopkins looked better against Pavlik than he had done in fights ten years earlier. Haye was at his peak long after he’d blown up against Thompson. Hatton looked garbage against Lazcano and then schooled Malignaggi, winning every round.

    It’s almost like boxers are human and can have good days and bad days and don’t just automatically get slightly worse every time they fight.

    Only did it to wind up Hattonmad. I have it on good authority he called one of his daughters Paraguay.
