    Eddie Hearns says again Tyson Fury is not entertaining to watch in the ring, he says he is awkward an and skillful but not entertaining

    on the other hand he says AJ is "****ing epic" every time he enters the ring. (Lets completely forget the absolute stinker of a fight against Parker just last year.)

    It's completely subjective Eddie! Just comes down to what people prefer to see in a boxing match I guess; some just wanna see knockouts but some really appreciate the sweet science of boxing also.

    I certainly feel entertained watching Fury, he's brilliant at what he does and fighters like him aren't around very often!

    Fury is now delivering knockouts too, Schwartz would have been knocked clean out had the ref not stepped in.

    While i can see Fury is a talented fighter other than the epic Wilder fight i've not enjoyed most of his fights. Thats why he clowns around outside of the ring so much. Even he knows he needs to add some entertainment to his brand.

    It's like people have forgotten the pre wlad fight attitude to Fury and the fact he was booed out of the ring in his last fight before the Wilder bout!

    A lot has been forgotten about people's opinions on Fury

    Go back prior to the Wlad fight and you'll struggle to find anyone who rated him.

    There’s no doubting his quality but entertaining?

    Stopping Schwarz shouldn’t be used as a yard stick either, I’d expect the whole top 25 to stop him.

    If he was entertaining more people would want to watch him, he'd sell more tickets, he'd get bigger viewing figures and he'd make a hell of a lot more money.

    I'm convinced some of his fans can't really accept that whilst he's very good he isn't very popular. It doesn't detract from his ability so I don't know why they care so much.

    Not knocking Fury but Schwarz would have been knocked out by a fart based on his ability that night

    All Hearn was saying is the AJ fights are more explosive and exciting than the Fury fights.

    Which he is right they are! he was very complimentary about Fury.

    AJ is generally a pretty entertaining fighter in fairness. Especially has he has always looked a little vulnerable.

    Fury has had some decent fights though. Obviously the Wilder one, I'm sure from memory (do correct me otherwise though) the first McDermott and Chisora fights were pretty decent as well. One of his fights against a journeyman type was pretty good as well.
