    AJ is a pretty clean fighter and he doesn’t duck people. Fury is the opposite. He beat Wilder and people act like that makes you an ATG. Great fighters don’t do what Fury is doing these days. His diva antics and weak mind will overshadow his positive accomplishments and eventually define his legacy. A fat drunken coke head with a big mout, a fragile mind and three wins against a one dimensional opponent.

    Aside from the rant and throwing the belts vs Usyk, which was classless, there's 0 reason to hate AJ.

    Not really. I respected him to a certain degree before he fought Usyk but I don't respect him for facing Usyk or rematching him because the reason he wanted to fight him again is because he absolutely hated the fact he lost to someone like Usyk which was plain to see from his despicable post-fight meltdown. I just disrespect Belly even more for ducking Usyk.

    If AJ had beaten Usyk controversially he would've just progressed to the final as opposed to having to win his semi-final twice like Usyk and Belly did against The Dosser and they won them conclusively on away soil. Neither would've been given a rematch had they lost.

    I respect AJ as having been a world champion, as I would do for any world title holder, but that is as far as my respect goes.

    Do I have any new found respect for AJ, no and why would I?

    The behaviours of AJ at the end of his second loss to Usyk, were totally inexcusable, and was akin to a spoiled child, so my respect for AJ was diminished in a big way.
