    I prefer all BT sport coverage so much over those Sky monkeys.

    Why does it need to be mentioned? Haters only look to find the negatives rather than appreciating the positives.

    Anthony Joshua isn't the first and won't be the last boxer or man to commit a crime and turn his life around.

    Bernard Hopkins is hall of famer after leaving prison. Are we going to forever try and bring him down because he committed crimes.

    We are human and humans make mistakes.

    You don't go from been a drug dealer to a humble guy even whyte was telling him to stop the act lol and the way he was talking to breazele when he didn't know he was been filmed and lol even in the ring he always tries to get cheap shots after the bell IMO his not a nice guy but a great actor and can't wait for fury to get under his skin even haye is good at it and the mask will slip

    I thought Ian Darke was excellent in commentating on the fights, he told it as he saw it.

    Not like today's shower!!

    I can remember when Bruno fought Tyson, and after Bruno tagging Mike in the first Harry Carpenter screaming in to his mic "GET IN THERE FRANK" and then apologising later for his unprofessional commentary, as he should have remained unbiased, i think the whole nation screamed the same thing, because it was a real fight and emotions run high.

    Remembering Reg Gutteridge when Eubank got smacked saying "That would have knocked his monacle out"!!

    Again unbiased commentary.

    They were fight fans for the fans and told it how it should be told...

    The funny thing about the Carpenter call was that the fight was broadcast on a delay the next day so they could have edited it out easily.

    Sky need to up their game especially with the regular fight nights and NXT GEN cards.

    Yea AJ saying "stay humble" all the time is the most obvious con of all. Genuinely humble people don't even realise they're humble, it's a natural human trait that subtly comes across in the way someone speaks or lives their life. The very fact that AJ not only thinks that of himself, but rams it down people's throat every five minutes, contradicts the whole thing. He's a Sky Sports fabrication, from his boxing ability to his personality, that's just not for me.

    My hope is that Fury exposes AJ for both his limited boxing ability, and indeed his fake persona.

    They even lie about his Preferred Nationality,his Heritage and Descent in General.They never mention his Nigerian Links when it is a quite important point in the Anthony Joshua Story.From the Olympics to what fuels him now.Sky also love to make everything a Country v Country thing,almost to stir up something,when watching the Brook-Spence fight again how many times did Adam Smith say "the American this,the American that" "the Brit is winning"Jesus Wept it's a fight between two boxers not two countries.
