If / when we finally see Fury finally lose a fight, do you think he will be humble in defeat, or make excuses and be a poor loser?
He's never going to lose, but if he did he would probably not care much. The man is in his 30's, set for life financially and has a family. He barely cares about boxing anymore, its just a job.
I think he would be gracious and say something like “its a part of the game I lost to the better man tonight but I am true fighting man and I will be back that’s how it works you win some you lose some God bless”
And after the fight he'll begin a descent into booze, hard partying and cheap women till he's found in a pool of his own vomit in a Las Vegas Motel 6.
He was pretty chill after he got the draw vs Wilder. He'll probably take the loss fine. It may eat him up inside, but right after the fight he'll probably be a good sport.
“ i wasnt at my best, im bipolar, i drank gallons of beer before the fight, im depressed, im going to retire “
He will either be an epic worse then Deontay wilder denial type of loser. Or he won’t give a $hit & go about his life like nothing. i can see both scenarios playing out really.
It's a good question. I think if he gets robbed or loses a tight points decision he will be angry/frustrated but deal with it as though he didn't lose. A bit like the Wilder draw. If he gets obviously beaten on points he will probably be depressed, hard to know whether he'll consider himself shot and retire or try to come back to rectify. Being outboxed would really hurt his ego/confidence. If he gets KO'd, that's the one where he may not be able to deal with it since he's built up the narrative of needing to be nailed to the canvas etc. I could easily see him going AWOL after an humiliating KO. But he might also just do the ''everyone can be KO'd'' thing and keep going with no pressure to keep his perfect record. But the KO loss would hurt him bad, I'd say.
He would be one of the worst if he loses. He said so many things in the past, that Karma will take care of him. Imagine all the comments that people are writing about AJ, now they will write about Fury, he will not take it. Even his "fans" would go against him. He would be mesirable.
If the defeat were legitimate, he'd warmly shake the man's hand/congratulate him and state that he won fair and square, perhaps harshly criticizing his own performance.
