    Tyson Fury I thought he was a joke when I first saw him fight but then realized that he was good for the sport and arguably the 2nd best HW in the world behind Wlad.

    It's only been, what, 5 years since I joined this forum but at that time I was quite literally one of maybe two or three posters who ever said anything positive about Paulie. He's been my second favorite active fighter ever since I knew about him... Paulie was hated by absolutely everyone on this forum and was the poster boy for non-Americans who excessively obsess their hate on American fighters. The hate seemed passionate... And then in that couple month span where he won the title from Senchenko in Ukraine and then commentated for Amir Khan's fight on UK broadcast, and then signed with Showtime as an announcer, he had become a beloved fan favorite (compared to what he was thought of before, he became an almighty and all-saving God from above).

    So, my opinion on him hasn't changed but he has to be one of the truest answers on here for most everybody.

    i couldn't stand Wladimir Klitschko and his style for many many years.. but now i have changed, i really dont want him to retire with another loss. afterall he does his job fine in the ring which is winning every time and that is not easy.
    it really isnt his fault that the competiton of today doesn't have tyson, ali or marciano.
    he is alright. me thinks we are going to miss him when he is gone
