    Calzaghe is still a scummy guy but I do agree with you pretty much. You are right with what you say. I used to really like Fury as a character, but in 2019 the hypocrisy was just off the charts. He sought to become everything he ripped Joshua for, achieved most of it and took a lot of Joshua's glory seeking fans with it haha. The Kinahan thing is disgusting too.

    Most of these superstar athletes are probably fake as ****. There aren't many authentic people around, in general.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Usyk give him a good hiding.

    :lol:

    Wow, that's some hardcore denial born out of bitterness. I almost have to admire it.

    Big Dave Price is a great lad and I have found Frank Bruno and Wladimir Klitschko to be great people when I met them as was Tyson Fury.

    Fury's background and upbringing was always going to make his life challenging but he has really achieved greatness as a person and athlete. With the father he has and a scumbag Uncle guiding him in boxing earlier in his career, he really has overcome big odds to become an absolute legend.

    Tyson was always going to be surrounded by the wrong sorts such as Kinahan and along with his erratic behaviour at times, he will never be accepted for his boxing achievements by the establishment.

    Tony Dosh convicted Drug Dealer gets an MBE but I would be very surprised if Gypsy King Tyson Fury will ever get any such deserved recognition but he does not care about that anyway.

    Filling that stadium last night and the reception for his ring entrance is the ultimate recognition that matters to him.

    Nor should he. The man actually earned his crown, unlike the old crone who doles those tinpot 'honors' out.

    I think he probably is the biggest star in world boxing. He’s at the top of the glamour division and is a great personality.

    Whyte was p*** poor yesterday. Looked like he didn’t even belong in the same ring as Fury. Massive gulf in class.

    Actually laughable how bad my prediction was. Hearn and Warren must target mugs like me when they sell these fights.

    Tell you what Jürgen, Whyte showed v Fury if he had fought Wilder he would have been destroyed. Flat footed, slow, limited head movement, if Wilder fought him he would still be asleep just now.

    Would have been a brutal ending mate and I still think Joshua would have faced the roof as well if they fought.

    I have to laugh at all these celebrities clambering to be seen at a Tyson Fury fight, it used to be AJ they were all after. They didn't want to know him in 2015 after the Klitschko fight - all the world's a stage I guess

    Fury beat the top champions whenno one else could. AJ didn't, nor did any other heavyweight of this era. That's the difference.

    He's pretty much the king of England right now, not just boxing

    I've heard little kids talking about his last fight, but never clenelo or AJ was anyone besides usyk and the Mexican pudding midget.

    Wilder would take the pair of them out.

    They're getting hit at some point and they'll both stay hit when they do.
