Not everyone needs to act tough to get into the frame of mind to box. Some need to start an argument in an empty room, but some are the opposite. Look at how calm Evander Holyfield was the vast majority of the time. The first Mike Tyson bout is a great example, considering he was facing his exact opposite in that regard.
You make some good points. And while Joyce may be improving lately, as talkers both of them are about as exciting as a door knob. Agree that neither are fake, their flat personalities are genuine !
Trash talk is school playground antics played out by so called adults, i know lot of folk are into it but frankly i cannot buy into it, it is to me cringeworthy whoever exhibits it. However if it sells fights it will continue, so i will continue to switch off when the hot air merchants start mouthing off and revisit once they start the bout.
This content is protected I love how Fury switches between semi-serious smack talk to proper real talk. The Americans and eastern Europeans can't recognize the switch and get confused. Haye understood Fury was being serious with most of the things he was saying to him which is why he was quiet and tame. Wilder didn't have a clue. "He knows he ain't messing with no quitter, no shthouse here, I'm a fighting man. This skinny legged super noodle will have to nail me to the canvas and if he can't do that I'm going to eat him up"
