    Lol calm down, I would hope if you did make a story up you would come up with something better then that.

    Your mums a slag for thinking it's a stupid name though.

    I really don't need to criticise this because that last comment says everything about you.

    And in 1988, it would have sounded a stupid name. He's famous now so it doesn't sound stupid because everyone has got used to it.

    I didn't make it up and why would I disclose details of where my mum worked to a complete stranger?

    You said computers weren't commonly used in the late 80's and the ignorance in that statement is staggering.

    I suppose you think televisions were pretty rare until the mid 70's.

    Anyway, best you run along now. The children's TV programmes will be starting soon.

    During an amateur fight he had a long time ago(can't recall exactly when). A website was reporting he won impressively and that caught my attention ever since. I honestly didn't expect him to go this far.

    Yes, I think it's worth mentioning too, its interesting.

    I first heard of him somewhere around his fight with Cunningham.

    Not sure when I first heard of him. The first fight I saw him in was against Cunningham. I'll say I was underwhelmed.

    There was already a lot of hype around him and the size difference between the two was extreme.

    Watching him in that fight I was disappointed. I expected more from him.

    I've learned since then that he seems to fight to the level of the competition. He is talented but a head case. At his best, he can beat any HW out there...but you never know which version of Fury is going to show up.
