    I'd rather listen to AJ talk about boxing and actually give insightful answers in his interviews over seeing someone screaming and flipping tables, or someone with a single digit iq like fury who people have bizarrely called entertaining run into a press conference acting like a 6 year old.

    He is generally a bit boring yes but I have no problem with that. I think he is way more likeable than most boxers because he comes across as normal and reasonably intelligent.

    I don't think any of the humility or nice guy stuff is fake either. People are not all stereotypes and caricatures, they don't have to be perfect saints or pure evil. You can be a nice person and still enjoy fighting, you can be humble yet confident. You can want to beat someone in a fight yet still respect them as a person.

    It's not about talking loud or WWE antics but showing an interesting personality. There's many ways this can happen. I know AJ isn't a boring robot that gives PR speak but that's all I've been seeing from him for the past couple of years. It's boring as ****, the real AJ would be more interesting. The real AJ, like the one that was talking **** to Wlad in the ring. That's the AJ I want to see, not some white washed version.

    He's very fake more than anything. Here he is slipping up a bit and talking about going after a 47 year old retired fighter.

    Wlad is his opponent he is not going to think nice thoughts lmao! He has to psyche himself they he is going to beat Wlad. When people say AJ is humble they refer to how he still is very much down to earth. He still lives with his mum, he actually is known around locally where he grew up as he still visits. Some people become famous and only want to hang around famous people, they want to live in the most desirable places and drive the most expensive cars. AJ is not like that, honestly this is a fact I think its down to how he was raised by his African family.

    People find it hard to believe but this is a fact I observed. I know John Boyega very well. The Black British actor in (Star wars) we speak a few times a month and he is as down to earth as they come. It is all down to how he was raised by his African family. I know his folks very well. Some of these guys had it drummed into their heads from when they were young never to forget where they came from and have be grateful. They are first generation children of immigrants and that's how many are brought up to think.

    AJ talks like he is hard but he is from Watford. That's why Whyte disliked him so much as he is actually from a hard area. AJ trys hard. Watch furys impression of him "I'm just a bad man tryna be good". I don't dislike him but to answer ur question he is fake in some respects, yes.

    Joshua knocked Whyte out, he is unified HW champ and has stopped all of his opponents. This seems to suggest that he might actually be quite hard.

    Check out his Twitter. You will see how boring people think Joshua is.

    Yes although I suppose it depends on your definition of hard. The context I used it was his appeal to being a hard man from the streets of Watford.
