    The media are pushing questions on Fury and Wilder, pressing for their views on the Joshua fight, so don't criticize them for speaking their minds.

    And credit to Fury who showed true courage and heart by rising back to his feet in the 12th round

    The thing is Joshua isn’t a bodybuilder, he trains like an athlete, what some might call ‘functional’ training. It’s bull**** that Joshua is getting kicked for the way he naturally looks, it’s the same thing as talking **** about Ruiz.

    For someone who is supposed to be a Christian, Tyson Fury expresses a lot of hate for others.

    Didn't hear any hate there at all. And Christians are no more moral than anyone else.

    He wasn’t being a disrespectful idiot like wilder. He was asked questions and answered honestly.

    What more do you want?

    i respect fury for calling out wilders evil during the face off but other than that he's still the same jackass he's always been that has been hiding behind his issues with mental illness to mask his drug use after he tested positive for nandralone after the hammer fight and not having the confidence to rematch wladimir. and the win he has over hammer should have been changed to a NC but 3 years later it's still a win on his record.

    I don’t know about happy to lose but I do think there was a degree of relief on AJ’s part.

    If that's the standard then he'd never have an opinion of anyone.

    No.

    He could be honest and honorable and say "Joshua gave it his best shot, but anybody can lose. Another second on the floor and I'd have been KOed by Wilder. This is heavyweight boxing, anybody can have a bad night. Ruiz has very fast hands and punches hard."

    "He who humbles himself will be exalted, he who exalts himself will be humbled"

    I once spoke to a boxing trainer and he mentioned that weights are a big no no. There is no substitute for old school road work like running, rope skipping, swimming, chin ups, push ups and as far as the muslces are concerned he was like wood cutting, lifting stones, rocks and running with a tire tied to your back, pushing tires.

    But i have seen videos of Lewis and Holyfield lifting weights while training tho i doubt they did it insanely as fighters now days doo. But why are push ups, chin ups, pull ups, cutting logs, wood, lifting stones, rocks better than lifting weights? Shouldn't they have the same effect?

    Because lifting weights you are isolating the muscles, whereas body weight and outdoor exercises you use the entire major muscle groups simultaneously. There is also less of the likelihood of one particular muscle being stronger than the other, which is a common thing to occur with weight training.

    not sure what to think with Fury sometimes, his initial tweet showed a lot of class, then the other day he said Joshua is an embarrassment and should be ashamed to show his face lol. ah well...
