Apparently he is the people's champ in Manchester. English fans going crazy over a boxer walking down the street is really strange.

No. Simple as that.

Yeah Americans used to do that for Muhammad Ali.

It's just strange to you because you don't have any personalities in american boxing right now.

No. He's an alcoholic, cokehead, PED cheat, egomaniac that just happened to be the guy standing there when Wlad got too old.

Define "Real People".

Wlad happened to get young again two years later by some voodoo ukranian magic

I would equate those people rallying around Fury, to a crowd rallying around Bigfoot, after winning a court case that he shouldn't be locked in a cage.

He's definitely the *****'s champ.

White trash in the UK look up to the fat druggie like he's a gypsy Tony Montana.

I think he will appeal to all the drinkers out there, and any one who isn't PC and up for a laugh.

He's just being brash, confident and a laugh now.... without all the controversy and negative press, and it's done wonders for his image.

I think people are really getting behind him now that he's the underdog again.
