    Not the costume I mean gaining 18 pounds

    Though I find the weight gain less important than the back foot and infighting problems

    Costume too heavy?
    That is the lamest excuse I have ever heard - no class and utterly embarrassing

    He was taken apart and beaten down relentlessly. He was exposed to anyone with eyesight and any knowledge or understanding of boxing skill

    He has been constantly told by people around him as delusional as some of the posters on here he is an ATG, hardest punch in history, the GOAT , fearsome etc etc
    He was saved (probably literally) by the corner throwing the towel

    He is now changing personnel - probably the corner towel thrower Breland - there would be no-one to save him next time

    The problem is this is the fight game - the hurt game - he is in real danger of being seriously and permanently damaged in any rematch

    He needs calm people around him who look out for him and his health
    Not greedy delusional money-men who only care about their share of the last stop on the gravy train and don't care if a body on his record (him) is the possible foregone result
    I genuinely feel sorry for him

    Not as bad as Pacquiao's sock but yeah it's pretty bad.

    If the costume really was that heavy, I wouldn't be surprised if there's an element of truth to it though.

    Maybe he should walk to the ring in a normal fighting robe instead of making himself look like a circus clown

    Fury v Joshua

    Wilder v Whyte

    Winner fights winner at the end of the year

    That is fair

    No Fury was on top from the start, he rode a few sharp rights, but was knocking Wilder around you could see it was clearly going his way before the knockdown.

    Usyk is better than Whyte.

    I wont disagee with you. However, Usyk has done nothing to earn a place at the top at HW so far.

    Makes me long for the glory days of iron Mike, black shorts black shoes with no socks and a towel with a hole cut through the middle over his head. All killer no filler
