    Rooting for Fury, hoping John doesn’t act like a b*llend during the build up.

    I think Fury wins on points in a great fight again

    If Fury eventually fights and loses to AJ then we’re gonna hear how Fury would’ve wiped AJ in a prime vs prime scenario. Hypothesised paper credits are so much more important than material proofs in the ring.

    Just noticed this
    Why does me rating him a little lower affect you? It appears to as you continue to quote me?

    I'm not quoting those that have him as goat. As idiotic as I find it, it is their opinion, just as I have mine, no matter how idiotic you and others find it

    If I underrate him? There are more than enough to overrate him. You are upset because you are a fanboy, that's why you won't call out those who glaze him and knock others at every turn

    I do want him to lose. I do think he is extremely overrated and benefits with subpar opposition . This is my opinion and it won't change. I am as entitled to it as much as those claiming he is greater than Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson

    I hope this clears it up for you, are you satisfied with my response? Or do you want to waste more of our time and continue this?

    It's funny, cause even this year you were claiming Fury is a great fighter. Now, after Usyk beat him, his subpar? You predicted Fury to stop Usyk. You were waiting for the excuses people would make if Usyk loses. You changed your view of Fury just so you don't have to give credit to Usyk it seems, even tho you claimed you will give him his flowers. Where does the trolling ends and where the real Adam begins?

    It does not affect me. I was only curious as to the reason you gave for your choice in what I quoted. You are definitely entitled to your opinion as is everyone else. I don’t think that is an issue here. And no I’m not upset about anything. Cheers

    He perhaps lost to Ngannou, he is not a great fighter and if I did call him great, then I meant relatively to the era which I have consistently called shyte. So although I admire the heart Fury shows and his ability to recover, I don't actually think he is all that good and is benefiting himself with a terrible era

    He lost to McDermott and arguably to a guy making his boxing debut. He's not a true great, though I do rate him higher than Aj (that's not saying much)

    If you want to call our trolls, go and do the ot with those claiming he is goat which you know is absolutely nonsense

    Now, we have been over this many times before,this will be my last serious response to you regarding this topic

    You know my thoughts, I know yours. It should NOT bother you. I am not going to change my opinion

    Enjoy The fight next week

    You yourself said you like to troll, so I just asked if you're trolling again, or you just like to contradict yourself.

    Nope not trolling, I don't rate the era
    Me trolling is saying Harrison beats Aj

    I mean what I say regarding these heavyweights. I may be in the minority, but it is my opinion

    You like all the posts of Serge and co proclaiming he is the Goat, so I believe you guys are overrating him by a fair bit, but it's your opinion and doesn't bother me

    Contradict

    Yeah I bet when Fury fought Ngannou you said he did prepare but lost

    Yet now you guys claim he didn't prepare, because you want to rate usyk

    Face it, Ngannou beat Fury or at least ran him close prior ro usyk. Usyk beating him means little

    I personally think he has a case for being Top 10 P4P fighters in the history of boxing, but wouldn't say he's the GOAT. He's definitely not a Top 10 HW historically. Serge makes some valid points tho.

    I always went by what Tyson said - that he had a great camp before Ngannou. I don't care if he did or did not have one. He lost on one of the scorecards to a boxing debutant and I personally had the fight scored for Ngannou.

    Top 10 is too high but it is your opinion
    If he loses next week put a zero after it and you will have mine

    I may have him top 50 or so now.
    Anyway do you want to continue this? Or are you happy with how we both stand?

    We have been over this so many times, it's why I didn't particularly want to. However, I have made my points clear. You don't agree with my opinion, and that's fine

    I don't agree with yours either.
    So I don't know what else there is to add, unless I ask you what you are planning for dinner?

    Enjoy the fight next week
