    Thing is, Shaw and McLean weren’t exactly angels either, especially when it came to their books. There’s just as much fiction and inflation in those “hard man” autobiographies as there’ll be in Big John’s.

    Lenny basically had to rush his out because he had cancer and needed the money. Shaw’s is even funnier – McLean must’ve hit him so hard in that third fight that Roy forgot it ever happened, because there’s a whole chapter about him chasing a third bout and Lenny “swerving” it, like it never took place. Must’ve all used the same ghostwriter. Best genuine take on Lenny arguably comes from Warren.

    Hardest man who ever lived is looking a bit soft now.

    John Fury and The Daily Mail. No thanks. No-one cares what John thinks. He's just clawing himself some of the limelight.

    They haven’t been there since the Klitschko match. He was nowhere near as agile in his comeback at any point.

    What? Was agreeing till you embarrassed yourself with Tyson. He has fought just about everyone in his generation as they came. Wlad, Usyk, Wilder, Whyte, Chisora, etc. point was taken till you went oddly off rails.
