    Obvious reasons are obvious.

    The pound for pound king will always be hated.

    A big, white, goofy loaf who has an extreme personality is more celebrated.

    I dunno about what Fury did and how, but the boar excuse is just pure nonsense. Wild boar, and testicles of various kind are still eaten in many countries of Europe, Slovenia for example. But you never hear of any doping excuse of this kind. Just my two cents, I could be wrong, maybe british boar is a different kind of a beast.

    Clenbuterol is not a steroid. It is used to treat asthmatic horses.
    It has become widely popular among athletes & body builders to help cut weight.

    he was clearly on clenbuterol in the 1st fight.

    the 2nd fight he was clean & noticeably smaller with less lean mass.

    I thought he did much better in his 2nd fight. As did the judges.

    From boar meat?

    Nandrolone, that Fury tested positive for, is very much an anabolic steroid. He claimed he got i from uncastrated boar meat.

    In short: Tyson and Hughie bothed tested positive for the anabolic steroid nandrolone. They contested that they got it from uncastrated boar meat. After a lengthy process both got a backdated ban. The man that testified to giving them the meat has since come out and said it was all a lie.

    So he was formally banned, but didn't have to serve any actual time being banned which is quite absurd. The **** storm if Canelo got away with something like that...

    Because they're still salty that their darling GGG was 'robbed' against Canelo, whereas Fury beat boring Klitschko & windmill Wilder - 2 guys most fans don't like.

    I seen for one of canelo's fights he weighed in at 154lbs and came into the ring at 165lbs against Josesito Lopez, but by the time he fought Khan he was weighing in at like 175lbs

    He also gets a pass for using unpadded gloves in sparring. Which is egregious. When he got called out, his fans jumped on the guy.

    Because Fury - to date - has not enjoyed all the political protection that Canelo has enjoyed; judges, hand wraps, the light ban for getting popped for Clen, WBC protection, hydration clauses, short notices given to opponents and so on.

    Furthermore, Tyson Fury was an outcast from boxing for 2 plus years. He made some anti-Semitic remarks and other stupid things and he became persona non grata. With immediate effect. That sent him into a depressive downward spiral.

    It took a personality transplant and clever PR from Team Fury to get him back to the top. Wisely, he also based himself out of America too. If Fury stayed in Britain, the media knives would have been sharpened just waiting for him to trip up.
