    Don’t you think so? Most of the nutters on here are Fury fans.

    Always said Fury wins this and won a couple of hundred quid on the Klitschko fight too. That doesn’t mean I’m a huge fan of his I was just and am just educated guessing a result. I haven’t really noticed a shift on here from when Fury came back after his forgotten about drug test and mythical mental health issues. He was flavour of the month then.

    If he can beat Usyk as others have said you can’t argue with him being a great fighter, although many, like me see Joyce as the real danger of a defeat for him.

    I like Fury ish but don’t go overboard with blind loyalty like some and many do with Joshua. I see what people say on here sometimes about the partisan support people give boxers. It’s sensible to be more pragmatic but I have been and still am guilty of it sometimes. For example, I guarantee you any close rounds tonight will be going to Rocky Fielding on my card.

    There are some Fury fans, but I don't see many diehards like there are with Joshua and, strangely, Matchroom. The bloke has lost thrice, lost in an absolute stinker to Rice Pudding Jr and has only one 50-50 win in his entire career and that's against a man with one foot into retirement. Still, these nutters cling on to Joshua who is clearly not world level. The boxing experts on the forum who also cite their "in the know" contacts at every given opportunity, put all of their eggs in the Joshua basket and can't admit that they are no more an expert than the casual fan. Imagine coming out with "Joshua is too big, too strong" for Usyk and that "Usyk has not impressed against Witherspoon and Chisora".

    As far as I can see it, the people that like Fury just say it how it is and that's that Fury is possibly the best in the world and certainly has the best record at heavyweight currently. I like Fury but think that Usyk and Joyce could beat him, so wouldn't be surprised either way. The Joshua fanboys were so devastated after years of paying over the odds to watch a hype job. They simply didn't see it coming and can't let go, and that has manifested in their hatred toward Fury and those who recognise his talent.

    Fair enough if that’s how you see it.i see it the opposite with the more diehard/overly emotional posters being Fury fans and or anti Hearn,Matchroom…certainly on the British forum anyway.The sheer volume of posts on threads concerning Joshua,Matchroom,Hearn,Dazn should back that up.Hope the Fury v Usyk does happen it’s a great fight and the only one I’m interested in personally.

    You only have to look at how often Joshua v Ruiz 1 gets brought into every single thread to see that.
