"Tell him its Eddie and im willing to take him up on his offer,he'll know what you mean"

I'm not keen on Joshua cos he was gifted the gold medal. I had him losing 2. Nothing was gonna stop him being handed the gold

I do not mind boxers being proper nasty bastards if I am honest, they often come from rough backgrounds with limited education and the wrong side of the tracks. What I do hate though is deception and dishonesty.

If AJ acted true to how I think he really is and in a post fight interview said, "I hate the prick, I am glad I smashed him, you do not fck with me" then I would applaud. It is the false nice guy act, worn with a mask that often slips a fraction that is causing dislike in my house.

Yep agree.

Both Joshua and Eddie are false fuckers and as somebody said just not likeable.

Were on the other hand, for all ofFury's rough edges, I have always felt he is a really likeable guy.
Obviously he has gone down in my estimation now I now he is a sandwich maker! If he was going to enter the kitchen, surely he should have just tossed some raw meat at her!

I laughed out loud at this. I can easily picture his natural expression, that cold sociopathic one he occasionally flashes, as he makes that statement word for word.

Followed by Ed Robinson telling him to mind his language...

Hmmmm it's a hard one. He's just following his media training. Do I like it? No.... I can't stand these charisma-less PR trained grinning idiots. The public can be fooled, but not all the time. People see through it. That's why Conor McGregor is so popular. That's why Fury is genuinely respected by the man in the street. I haven't heard a standard man in the pub hate on Fury. They find him amusing and honest. It's only self important, self righteous media types and journos who're getting all upset. Fvck them. They're probably hiring out a hotel room, sniffing coke off a whore's @rsehole while wanking off to retro out takes from old Jimmy Saville charity appeals.... People recognise that Fury is a bit clumsy, but basically a decent guy with guts.

And let's be clear - Joshua may be rolling out the correct lines, but i would bet my life he's smashing the PEDs, a sickening advantage in a life threatening sport.

In his defence theres an interview back stage after the fight where he is talking with Stormzy and he actually said "this was about bragging rights, im glad I knocked him out the guy talks shit, you chat shit you get banged!" .

Why do you think it's nuts?

I've absolutely no fooking idea

One thing that annoyed the hell out of me regarding Sky's production (it doesn't take much) - Paul Smith's card vs Malignaggi. He had a good old chat with Adam about round 10 - Adam gave the 10th thought the opponent won it, but Smith was adamant that he didn't.... then all of a sudden the show Paul Smith's card - and he gave the opponent the 10th - and basically said he did it a the opponent had been game throughout. Talk about a cop out - even Adam Smith noticed it as it was the round they discussed and Paul said "no, Paulie won the round" just 4 minutes before.

Oh little doubt about that fella.

I am great friends with the amateur and professional world drug free bodybuilding champions and two months ago was working backstage in Atlantic City with the British Drug Free bodybuilding team and no one is putting on the 16 lean pounds he has put on in the last two years, plus the what - 12lb he put on after winning the Olympics and turning pro.

Trust me, that does not happen naturally, not even with the best genetic and talented bodybuilders on the planet. They put on maybe 1lb per year, if that and it hits a ceiling where no more can be added pretty fast.

I thought testing was pretty strict in boxing?

No, it's awful. Curtis Woodhouse made some interesting remarks about it. The drug takers are way ahead of the game and there are plenty of masking agents to cover up wrong doing. Athletics is probbaly the most tested of all sports and these guys pass tests all the time. Look at lancer Armstrong, the cyclist. He passed endless tested yet was a walking chemical lab.

Personally I don't think it's an issue as long as he had stopped by the time he was competing.

Nigel Benn admited he took the stuff before he turned pro.

It's not illegal to take roids, and it's not a rule of the sport that you are never to have taken peds anytime in your life.

Some say that a drug test is a stupidity test and that only the idiots fail as they time things wrong. HGH, for example, is hard to test for and some say you cannot test for it really. It does not show in urine tests and I think it has to have been used within 24 hours of a blood test. I

In natural bodybuilding we take a polygraph on top of other WADA testing things

Then how did he gain 16lb in under two years while active if he only took things before he was competing?

Sky ballzed up Watt's card during the Joshua fight too,Jim had given Whyte 2 rounds(as did i) but Sky only showed Jim giving him 1,this was about halfway through so Sky were probably worried Whyte was still in it so tried to get the "AJ was robbed" theory in just incase it went to the cards,

very close!! I just got an absolute mental blank on Barroso's name as soon as I said "Venezuala" & had to fish my cards out my pocket. Obviously they then had to be upside down!!

Cheers for pointing it out mate
