    I'm not enamored with the guy and usually don't spend much time defending him. But, I totally recognise that he's a brilliant entertainer. People hate the act and say there's a normal man behind the great and powerful Oz. Well, yea. Celebrities are all humans. So what?
    Today wrestling heel/Face dynamic is ****ed,When ppl thought that wrestling is real and there was larger then life Babyfaces it was easier to be hated,Heels get legit stabed with knifes or was hated in real life,now Heels are most loved guys and we have no good babyfaces so heels cant be booed so there is no emotions,and no emotions =no wrestling.

    as for floyd he was allways quite boring persona,James Toney or Roy was realy funny at times Fury is charismatic even Haye is,Floyd had his 0,he is great boxer but his not some big character like Fury or Ali or big George ,Leonard ,Duran.just my opinion.

      You're right, I was perhaps judging too harshly. We won't judge in future...
      Oh, right. I guess we will.
      Everyone is entitled to their opinion however at some point the contradictions become ridiculous.....easy to see why most fighters ignore what fans think.

        Yeah, Floyd pretty much is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. If he's not trash talking he's boring and if he is trash talking he's arrogant and needs to be humbled.

        The truth is, very rarely have humble champions ever been superstars. You have Holyfield and Sugar Ray Leonard and Manny Pacquiao and that's pretty much it for humble superstars in boxing. People love a villain, they love having someone to hate. They can't help themselves.

          Fury is not charismatic at all. He's such a weirdo and I have always felt that way about him. It doesn't surprise me that he suffers from psychological issues. Fury was just obnoxious.

            He's a man who tries to speak slowly and sound intelligent but he isn't. He also seems to have an inability to answer questions off the cuff, he either just answers with something completely unrelated to the question or he uses some stock sayings thats he uses in every interview. Once you have seen one Floyd interview, you have seen them all. He also seems very socially awkward to me, and very awkward around women. Some people are just like that. It's quite odd seeing such a flashy guy with a lavish lifestyle that also seems very socially awkward and not actually that charismatic at all.

            He did to be a a bit more charismatic when he was younger. Maybe it's because he's trying to maintain a business-like image now or he has publicists around him like that lady who's always with him that have given him very basic ways to answer questions and give interviews to try and maintain an image.

            Great fighter though.

              Ppl talk about him and he draws,he made Wlad fight from another bum vs Wlad fight to interesting event and a big deal,charisma can have diffrent meaning,but you cant say that Fury is not charismatic.

                Fury is the most annoying guy in boxing to me. I don't find him charismatic and I doubt he has that much drawing power. Most people talk about how strange he is. He's just controversial with the things he says but not charming or likeable.

                  It's weird how incapable he is of having a normal conversation with the people interviewing him. I used to think it was because he was obviously more of an introvert and the brash persona was clearly an act. But now I wonder if he's not mildly autistic or something.
