Shook, triggered and oh so salty.

I remember Wlad suddenly turning evil in that Gloves are Off with Haye when Haye slagged off Vitali. He obviously loves his brother and the Fury loss probably still embarrasses him. Wlad's a bit of a bully and doesn't like it up him. At the end of the day, IF Fury beats AJ he'll have beaten Wladamir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua.

People should remember he played patty cake with Ibragamov for 12 rounds, only KO'd tiny fat Eddie Chambers in the 12th because Emmanuel basically told him he was pussy in the corner and his best win was a cruiserweight from England with a sore toe.

Should we forget his platform shoes, spongy ring and mystical USB prediction? Or that he 'redeemed' himself from being outboxed by Fury by getting sparked out by Anthony Joshua, where he finally got a bit of credit for having a fight for a change? Or that he never rematched a fat golfer who flatlined him and got his brother to do it for him instead?

Did he outclass Wlad, though?

He won a clear decision by edging a lot of rounds and, from memory, got hurt/buzzed at least once in the later rounds. Great victory but it’s not like he toyed with him.

Fury/Vitali is an interesting one to think about, though it would be ugly as hell.

It's never going to happen so it's all conjecture anyway. All boxers pull out of fights because they're injured: Fury pulled out of the rematch with Wlad because his head was wrecked and it took years for him to get it back together. I too haven't watched the fight very much and certainly not for a long time and my main memory is of Wlad turning around and walking away from Fury while still getting punched. It's not often you see that in a fight. So yeah, there were definitely moments where he toyed with Wladamir.

Define 'outclassed' anyway.

Considering we're locked down again and they're supposedly going to shut the gyms, and it seems to be raining endlessly in the UK, I'll definitely end up rewatching it.

There are some backing him, but the English folk are saying that’s too far. He’s been through a lot etc.

2) I don’t think it’s necessary to defend Tyson Fury if someone calls him out on social media ... Fury probably doesn’t care .. it’s all part of the game - a game that Fury is very good at using it to his advantage !

But that was kind of due to Fury’s style. Just unpredictable.
