people who are bigger fans of a particular fighter or two than the sport itself. the weirdest ive seen is the fanboys for al haymon, a guy who is never seen or heard from. that was more of a thing a few years ago when pbc had more momentum though

the ajagba guy was :lol:

the funny thing is, ajagba is actually on a pretty good run since his loss. but our boy ran off as soon as he took that first L

But I was going to live shows before Fury was born? The thing I find really strange is the guys who post on forums 'the general opinion' and they've formed it from reading Twitter... Not one person in any pro or amateur gym in this country thinks that Fury is anything other than top, top class.

There are a few on here who think he is crap, and were surprised that he even turned up.

Rumours were he cut himself to get out of the fight

Guys like Fury play the other side of the game so well , that people often get mixed up between his boxing talent, and his persona , and base there observations on personality , love him or hate him sort of thing .
My original views of Fury were that he's a hand picker , ducker and diver of the hard fights , , But then he takes on and beats Klitchko in Germany , your perception has to change , i took notice and thought maybee i'm wrong , then he beats the monster at the time in Wilder , and i think i'm definetly wrong , then he refuses to fight someone decent , theres the boars bolllocks , fighting Chisora , getting humiliated by Ngou , the guy is up and down like a yo yo , but no doubt about it his sheer size and ability to shift that size around the sq ring , had him up there at best or second best UNTIL along came Usyk , but Usyk also done it to AJ you could say ruined both there carreers , ,

But a sensible man would argue what a nice way to have your carreer ruined , being made num 2 or 3 in the world , lets not forget Fury is past his best now , and if he carrys on theres a couple others out there who just may steal a bit more of his thunder , has they progress , .

Fury has proved beyond doubt that he was up there best or in best 2 in the world at his time , but now he's slipping . critism though comes with the job , he's in the entertainment buisness and he's been very good at that , he's made millions out of it , and once you get there where he is ,with a lot of people its down to who do you like what do you like , are you a fan of AL pacino , with his constant speaches and yelling , or Robert De nERO with his smirk for all occasions , or do you favor Stallone with his Heh Adriaaan , .

Its all subjective , but there all succesful actors , Tyson is a very good and succesful boxer , some will even say he's shit cos they don't like his dad .

I like to think after all these years i know a little bit about boxing , but even i get caught out , i look at Connor Benn and say SHITE , USELESS , , Daddys boy , silver spoon , spitful , horrible, nasty human being ,bully ,,,, suppose its called human nature and don't look at or care wether or not he is actually any good , he's shit becase i just don't like the fella
