    I don't really like either of them too much. AJ is a manufactured product, from the muscles to the good boy persona. Fury is the opposite, and is totally unfiltered, saying any old thing that comes into his mind, no matter how crazy.

    If I had to pick one I'd pick Fury to root for.

    I think he's got genuine mental problems, and it feels that every great performance that he delivers is another point for the human will overcoming the obstacles in its way. AJ has been coddled so that he can be presented as a finished consumer good. I'm tired of being sold stuff.

    Couldn't care less about their personalities. I'm backing Fury becasue I like what he brings to the table more, inside the ring.

    Not a huge fan of either. I admire Fury for his return from being in a dark place, certain skill sets, and certain characteristics. Joshua for taking the title back, punch power and box office interest in him.
    Fury definitely isn’t the GOAT yet, as some perceive him.
    I can just imagine the meltdown and inability of some to accept a Joshua victory if was to happen.
    Fury is the more skilled & better at adjusting his fight game and is the favourite. I wouldn’t totally rule out a Joshua win though.

    I hope Joshua beats him, just to see another goatfetishist hypetrain derailed.
    After Wlad was finally dethroned, first Fury looked like a goat, then Joshua, then Ruiz Jr, then Wilder, then back to Fury again.
    Wonder who boxfans will point at if that happens.

    Nah, I didn't. I generally don't keep up with boxers out of the ring. But I did happen to read about Fury's comments. Yeah, those are stupid comments by Joshua if he said that.

    Joshua's camp has plenty of white people in it. Fury has shown plenty of respect to black fighters. I don't care what "leaked" inside knowledge you think you have. It just sounds like you want to believe people are racist because it makes you feel better about your own views

    Robert Mugabe did nothing wrong. Hey and not surprising he called for boycott of white businesses. Inherent victim mentality is one hell of a drug.

    I wasn't talking about Fury or Joshua. I was talking about you, and your "so what" response.

    There is plenty of proof that both fury and Joshua are fine with people of the opposite race
