    Just the manner in which he carries himself. It's not that I dislike him at all, more that sometimes he forgets to put up the facade of the quiet, respectful, even tempered, whiter than white olympian, OBE getting personality he and Hearn sell the public and you see the real guy. My read on him is he knows exactly what he is and in private rocks the 'I walk this earth like a god' attitude (except with the supreme confidence/arrogance the guy who gave him the belt lacked) - I hope I am right and he starts showing this side of himself if he beats Wlad.

    Honestly, it's not necessarily a single thing that he has said, but more of an overall vibe I get from him. He's always flashing that toothy grin of his and seems to have something of a nonchalant attitude toward his opponents before and after fights. Plus, I don't feel that he comes across as incredibly genuine with his clean-living, roll model demeanor. I could be wrong, and even if I'm right as long as he's got the skills to back it up I'm OK with it.

    I have no doubt he lives a humble life. If you see his snapchat his house is still the same old small house that he stayed in back when he was in the Olympics.. I hear he has other properties and maybe even a mansion but they are investments.. He lives in a small house to keep himself grounded. He doesn't wear expensive jewellery or drive expensive cars.

    Also when he became world champion a guy won £700,000 for placing a bet in 2015 that AJ would become world champion within a year. If it wasn't for Fury getting stripped that would never have happened.

    Anyway this guy promised he would give AJ a cut of £300,000 if he won the bet. There is a interview on IFL where the guy said he tried giving AJ the money but AJ wouldn't take it.. I don't know about any of you guys but I'd grab that 300k real quick lol.

    Actually Wladimir, Usyk, Teslenko, Lomachenko, Kovalev, GGG and Hrgovic all have the qualities to be GREAT ambassadors of the sport and they also seem to be doing it clean.

    Oh and they're doing it without the "Young thug" past

    Vlad is the much better boxer, more skilled and lots of power, his footwork is really good, quick on his feet, power in his right hand, left hook, hook off the jab, power jab whenever he wants, right hook, uppercut and yes, he can land body shots, he doesn't do it that much though, but has that ability, can fight on the inside if need be, is strong, in shape, stamina, good chin, great defense................he should beat Joshua. Camerelle beat Joshua for the gold, but Camerelle was robbed by home cooking................Joshua was out boxed............all the talk about Joshua's power, well, Vlad has incredible power, noticed Vlad is quicker than Joshua also................
