    I deleted my post because I was going to say something similar. After Wilder2, Fury was flying high. Can’t blame him for taking wilder 3 as it was mando but I wish he would stop being such a diva and acting like a fool. It’s part of his persona and a shame because he’s an intelligent guy.

    I feel he’s playing this goofy character at times but I guess it works because casuals and even some hardcore boxing fans eat it up. I’ve seen several serious interviews with Fury and like the intelligent articulate version. The pro wrestling trash talker and diva probably appeals to more fans. I just don’t like that side of his personality.

    I do like hearing Fury talk about boxing, his knowledge on the sport is second to none.

    If he tones down the over the top persona when he finally retires, it's fine for now, he could start a pretty good podcast or something.

    Ah so you're not biased then when it comes to his qualities as a boxer, that's good to know.

    Common theme here: I dislike "x" fighter, therefore I don't rate him.

    You said that he's from your hometown and that's good enough for you.

    I cannot stand that mentality.

    He's really not, maybe a bit all over the place but I do not think behind the scenes Fury is a bad duxe

    Why are you bothered what he looks like.. do you think about bumming boxers or something? I wouldn't even say he's that fat anyway he has Bambi legs and his Upper torso is normal, he carries weight around his mid section but who cares u sad ****

    You can like him and Usyk. Most people here do.

    He's proved his level just like Usyk.

    Because he's the joint HW GOAT

    The slickest giant in history

    His slickness and agility defies the laws of physics, and I don't just mean gypsy physics

    He's super entertaining

    Charismatic

    Hilarious

    A road warrior

    And as much as I liked him before

    Beating the soul out of the dosser's body x 2, absolutely abusing and humiliating him on his own soil in front of his own fans and loved ones, and putting his grotesque Bombzsquad Nation on suicide watch for months, all of which couldn't have been anymore thoroughly deserved, was a thing of beauty and deeply satisfying. He did the universe a huge favour when he beat that dosser like a dog.

    To be fair LL would Michael Grant all of the Top 10 of today.

    Give Wilder credit, he can’t beat anyone on the right day and is as dangerous in the last round as in the first.

    With that said, Fury deserves the praise he gets, he’s a entrainer and a really good boxer, of course ppl gonna like him.

    He’s got charisma and is a great fighter. He can get away with a lot with those two things.
