And you know this how? (About being told what to say by Hearn)

I'm surprise how many Fury fans go out of their way to discredit AJ/Wlad/any other boxer.

Don't really watch boxing, but really good to see so much respect between both opponents, both acting like gentleman.

Very different to Dereck Chisora who is an absolute disgrace, spitting in Klitschko's face before their fight, slapping his brother and then having a brawl with Haye (another with no class)

Chisora as fought the best to be fair to him
Tempers flair some ppl handle it better than others
Del Boy is normally cool until whatever opponent winds him up then all hell breaks loose

Not entirely sure why Haye chose the press conference to start an argument with him, but extremely unprofessional behaviour from both, however you look at it.

Especially with threats like; "I will shoot you, I will physically shoot you!" (as oppose to.. 'mentally'..?..)

I'm not so sure about what skills Fury possesses.
I am pretty sure he's a bellend though, and a bellend with a very big mouth.

You're just showing your ignorance now mate
He beat the heavyweight super champion in his own back yard someone who wasn't beaten for 11 years and gave him a boxing lesson

Excellent skills

I still think AJ deserves some credit, he pulled himself back together and forced a TKO, which had not been done on his opponent for over 10 years

lol, i've been boxing for about 6 years and have played snooker most of my younger years with my uncle and my brother who have both run snooker clubs and there's no way that snooker is a tougher sport, i'd take playing snooker for a week solid over 12 rounds of boxing, have you tried giving and taking shots for even a single 3 minute round the amount training and stamina boxing takes is unreal?

I did amateur boxing from 2008-2010, got my medical, amateur card etc but a badly broken arm put an end to that.

But.....you're absolutely spot on about how tough it is, when I first started out I couldn't believe how tough it was. Also, for people who are already fit, being able to run miles upon miles they still struggled, a completely different type of fitness.

I must admit I miss the boxing, I was a bit overweight at the time and was pretty fast for the weight that I was........I got down to just over 11st last year and I reckon I'd have been decent. All ifs and buts though.

tbh the only reason fury beat wlad is because wlad didn't put any effort into the fight, you could see his heart wasn't in it throughout the fight, imo he just wanted the pay day. Fury is a plank and always has been, he appeared on the scene when there were no real decent heavyweights and won his belts, do you think he would of lasted say in the late 90s early 00s when heavyweights were at the top of their game?

Nonsense fury used his longer reach constantly changing from orthodox to south paw he's very agile for such a big man and underrated boxing skills to completely dominate wlad

Ok, look back over both fights and youll see the difference yourself, in the fight with joshua wlad had his bounce, aggression and held himself well, in the fight with fury he had none of that, he knew he was hitting retirement age and most likely thought sod it, ill get the payday. He then had a good year and half out and just continued his training.

The fight with joshua imo was his last chance to try and get another shot at a belt before he hangs the gloves up for real, which is why he put a bit more in, truth be told i reckon he still could of threw more at it and possibly took the fight, i think he allowed joshua too much recovery time after dropping him.
