    Calling any pro boxer a coward is just stupid

    Enjoyed a story in his book where he was selling door to door. Hardest guy in the area opened his door & they both had a scrap on the front grass. John smashed him to pieces but took a few digs himself. They shook hands afterwards.

    Its people like that who put the great in great britain back in the day

    Boxing isn't about activity choosing opponents

    Fury tried it lol


    He is never a coward but definitely the first HW to try and employ the same career methods as Floyd Mayweather did

    It's why it's been quite noticeable

    Shame some fell so badly for it though. I will argue that you don't know a thing about boxing and a lot about naivety to think he is the greatest or on par.

    I’d bet my house that Frampton would absolutely smash the head off him let alone Froch!

    Mostly feather fisted as well.

    Can be 6'5+ like tyson and hughie but still waiting for their man strength in their late 20s lol.

    Their bare knuckle fights are nearly always a joke.

    Never saw a knacker that could bless himself. Even the most notorious knackers were dreadful. Fighting in a country lane ibetween 2 transits does not make you 'ard.

    It’s easy to be a hard man against people who don’t fight back.

    Sadly ‘IF’ Tyson has retired, he’ll be all over social media forever seeking attention by calling out whoever’s relevant until he becomes a carbon copy of John. Not knocking them as fighters, but the fragile ego’s on the Fury’s are astonishing.
