My opinion is it is all well scripted. He is this generations Oscar DeLaHoya.

I personally don't care if he's genuinely that classy or it's all an act. He's a good fighter whatever the case, and that's all that really matters for most of us. Not like we're gonna be meeting, and hanging out with the f*cking guy anytime soon anyway.

Povetkin said that AJ is welcome in Russia but i fear that it would be more dangerous for his liver than any of Povetkin's liver punches

As I have stated numerous times on here. I really enjoy watching AJ fight. He is entertaining.
But I do not have to like the persona.
I like Wilder fighting and I loved Mayweather. But I couldn't stand eithers personality.
Just because I find him fake as a three dollar bill doesn't mean I do not appreciate him as a fighter

He's doing all of the right things to be a cross over star. Just like Leonard and Oscar.
It makes financial sense for him to continue it.
I just see him as fake.
Is there something wrong with stating my opinion?

I don't give a damn how fighters act outside the ring. For Christ sake Mike Tyson was a huge freaking dick But he was amazing to watch.
Did I like the rapist bastard? I loved watching his fights
On this forum if you are not suckling at certain fighters tits 24/7 you are a hater.
It gets frustrating when people like you can't get their fighters balls off their chin long enough to have a conversation.

You are the type of poster who trolls anyone who says a negative thing about your fighter.
There is no debating with that type of fan.
I've stated my opinion
Again have a good day

For the record, though you didn't ask me. I always very much appreciated the way Dan Henderson carried himself outside the ring.
Particularly with the Michael Bisping promotion the 1st time around.
Bisping was constantly talking about "I'm gonna f*ck him up. I'm gonna kick his ass" all this and that.
Hendo's response was always just "Yeah...we'll see"
I like that. Talking don't mean sh*t. He never engaged in that "I'm gonna kick your ass" kinda talk, but when he got in there he was trying to take your f*cking head off, and he had destruction in his eyes. That's the kinda personality I like. All business, where it matters. In the fight.
Marcos Maidana had a moment I liked I forget against who, but somebody tried to touch gloves with him at the start of the fight, and he just threw an overhand right trying to knock the guy out ...I like that too. We can be respectful up until the bell rings, once the bell rings. F*ck You!

Joshua constantly says how "humble" he is. Let me clue you in... he's not. Hpw humble was he when beat Whyte?
Joshua is also a racist, black supremacist, drug dealing thug. His nice guy act is about as thin as his overrated ability.

Gassiev did the same when he beat Dorticos. Gave him his belt back and had some photos with his team.
That one seemed a genuine class act. You can never really tell with Joshua. Most of it seems to be part of his manufactured 'image'.

After her unification fight, Katie Taylor went into Bustos's dressing room and gave Victoria her belt back to keep. Bustos had held the belt for about 3 years and the sanctioning body were due to replace it with the latest version after the fight.
So Katie handed it back, left the stadium without it and waited 3 weeks for her new belt to arrive.
Now that's class!

He also consoled him at the post-fight presser after Dorts cried.
TBH, the giving the belts part is always done regardless anyway. Whether there’s a camera involved is upto the boxers.

She should have given the lass she “beat” in the Olympic final her gold medal.

Never knew about that one. I thought champions got a copy of the belt to keep anyway though, even after losing the title. A nice touch regardless, from both Taylor and Gassiev.
EDIT: RKO confirmed it.
Another moment I liked was at the Briedis vs Charr weigh in. Briedis, the gentleman, went to shake hands with Charr. Charr completely blanked him, so Briedis turned to the crowd, shrugged his shoulders a little and gave a confused smile. Then in the ring, he went and ironed him out more emphatically than either Klitschko or Povetkin could manage.
