    Fury is hopeless, sugar. That "fight" with middle aged Wlad was the worst heavyweight title fight in history.

    Don't worry about brave-but-dumb Brook, he's going down. Hard.

    F Rigo. Great fighter but couldn't sell out a barn and has zero charisma or appeal. Frampton doesn't need him. I for one would prefer to watch the kid in exciting fights. To be fair, Santa Cruz isn't exactly a mug. Top level fighter which he beat.

    I'd say it was as entertaining as Carl's 'fight' with Quigg TBH mate and it was against as guaranteed HOF'er who hadn't look close to being beaten in a decade away from home. It's easy to downplay Fury's achievement but none of us really saw it coming and it deserves respect. Him as a man, less so.

    Add to that the fact that Rigo is as hard to deal with outside the ring as he is inside it. Literally nobody has ever managed to have a successful relationship with him during his entire career. They can't all be wrong. Biggest and worst waste of talent ever. So sad.

    The fight was a pile of turd as most of his fights have been against a boring piece of Robotic shyte.

    The only thing people did not see coming was the Judges managed to stay awake and score the fight to Fury.

    Same as Haye - promised the world to sell Pay per Poos and delivered the biggest pile of turd seen in a boxing ring.

    Compare to McGregor v Diaz - a real fight with both men getting stuck in compared to 2 Boxing Heavweights scared to throw a punch.

    No wonder Boxing is losing popularity if people are happy with that Fury v Klit fight

    Frampton is big enough to sell out Belfast on his own though, no? I don;t get why as fans we care who sells the most tickets, we should be demanding the best fight the best all the time. Zero charisma? Listen to any of his interviews or read his Twitter, he's incredibly vocal and quite truculent.

    All McGregor vs Diaz showed me was why we have weight classes. At a proper weight Diaz has nothing to offer Conor. Absolutely nothing.

    I do credit UFC for making the fights the fans want to see though. It's their greatest strength.

    And no shafting fans by making it Pay per Poo.

    That is why UFC is growing quicker by bringing the top quality fights to the masses.
