    "6 weeks and 1 week of rest"
    Usyk is "a sneaky ****er"
    :lol:

    Good on him, though. He's getting on with it. Though it does sound like Usyk's acceptance was a tad unexpected.

    If Usyk wins this fight he breaks into the top 20 ever

    I know the guys @ Classic who put random 1930s 80-15-15 welterweights over Floyd will have a thing or two to say about that, but I couldn't care less tbqhwyfamgydala

    The Age of Pretenders is over. The King of Kings is here
    (Fury wins a dull 116-112 while pretending this is bigger than the Rumble)

    I agree, this fight isn't made yet, people got wildly overexcited about it being a duck, now they are wildly overexcited about it happening.

    One thing I think is weird is that it's weird watching people respond to these little videos. Like - do you guys really think the purse splits got settled over Instagram? That's probably not the case. And I only say "probably" because it's Fury and Usyk :lol: If it was any other two fighters you wouldn't need that word.

    It's not even going to be as simple as 70/30, probably, and i'm not saying that to buff Fury because it could end up being 85/15 for all I know.

    Stop killing my mood.
    I just started watching some Usyk highlights and got genuinely excited for this fight. It´s likely the most significant fight of the last 3 years.

    This deal has probably been done for a month. You're falling into Fury's games and being led to believe he's the bad guy, that he wanted to duck a much smaller man and all the rest of it...because that's his ploy. That you fall for it time after time is cringeworthy.

    I haven't missed anything. The same people who are butthurt about Fury's success story coming out of the woodwork at what they see as a great opportunity isn't exactly anything new. It's not a shift, the same people will be very quiet when he beats an ATG comprehensively to be crowned undisputed and go into the hall of fame as one of the best ever.

    I've seen it all before. Fury playing games in the build up, generating more interest, making it look like he doesn't want it, wins the fight and then humbly wins people over all over again. I just don't get caught up in the peaks and troughs anymore because I've noticed the obvious pattern. It's hard to believe so many others haven't woken up to it. The guy is a true great of our sport and he plays the likes of yourself like you're on strings
