    biggest star in US and worldwide boxing is Clen, I don’t even think british fatso is top 5 star in US ,more people will come to watch shot GGG or Loma than british fatso . It’s prob Clen, Ryan Garcia, Pac, GGG, Ruiz, AJ and possibly even Loma are bigger stars than lard ass in US.

    :risas3: The only ones of those who even comes close to Fury in terms of popularity over in the US are Manny and Clenelo and 90% of the later's fanbase comprises of clueless doe-eyed teenybopper DNSAB casuals. Granted Loma should be as popular as Fury over there though.

    You prob talking about rainy shithole UK, in US fury can’t get any decent size arena filled without Wilder.
    All boxers I mentioned fills arenas ,If you think people here care about Fury you are fooling yourself . You see ukrainians will come watch loma, mexicans will watch Clen , Garcia and Ruiz, GGG has Kazakhs , Uzbeks and mexican fans, Pinoys will always show up for Pac. Fury too fat too ugly and british , zero chance he’ll ever be the face of US boxing. AJ is still more popular than Fury.

    Yes all those fighters you mentioned have their ethnic fanbases in the US but Fury's fanbase comprises of people of every ethnicity from over there.

    Is he more popular among the American Filipinos than Manny? No. Is he more popular among American Ukrainians than Loma. No. More popular among Kazakhstani Americans than GGG. No again. Or more popular among Mexican Americans than Clenelo? Actually I think he definitely is in that instance. But it terms of overall popularity he's by far the most popular fighter in the US now and his popularity has absolutely skyrocketed since he paddled Bootleg D's ass for the second time.

    The best fighter that Fury ever faced is himself. And I'm not referring to his personal issues. I'm talking about the time he uppercutted himself in his own face!

    First super heavyweight to do so much without having an actual power punch. He's really good at other things, things one might not necessarily expect from that big a man.

    He also has a really good chin, no doubt there.
