Those press conferences were the fakest sheet ever.

I like both of them, and if Wilder knocks Fury out i'll support him every step of the way against GayJ and the like.

That is true.

However, in all this pre-fight meetings, showdowns and promotional stuff, THE ONLY INTERESTING AND ENTERTAINING ONE is Fury.

Fury is ARTICULATE, coherent, witty, smart, funny, HE DOESN'T USE IGNORANT FILLER WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS, he is truly a very entertaining and bright person. He could easily be a late night host, a comedian, a Hollywood actor, he is a TRUE PERSONALITY and he is definitely a well-read well-spoken individual.

Whereas Wilder is almost the exact opposite: inarticulate, boring, repetitive, uninteresting, he uses tons of depressing and low-intelligence American English filler words all the time such as "you know" "baby" "y'all" "like I said before" and tons of others, which make it EMBARRASSING AND ANNOYING to listen to him even a single minute. And then that gangster-like African American inflection in his speech, pretty much the same as the likes of Mayweather Jr., the kind of word usage and inflection that has demeaned TRUE standard original American English into a horrible street lingo.

Just hearing Fury talk, so flawlessly and then listening to the embarrassing Wilder "comebacks" in super-ignorant fashion, just screaming and repeating idiotic stuff over and over, plus the truckload of useless and annoying filler words, makes one easily realize that the ONLY real promoter of this fight is Fury. Just listening to his witty and funny chatter is worth watching these theatrical, wrestler-like pre-fight shows.

It is true that in the ring, the BORING ONE will surely be Fury, just running and circling the ring all fight long. But when it comes to being a true personality, HE IS ONE, whereas Wilder is just EMBARRASSING to listen to.

For the record that is not my opinion of all African-American boxers, there have been in history many very articulate and witty ones. But Wilder IS NOT one of them by any means, and it really pisses me off to read people, Americans for sure on here, using PLURALS to describe the wit and entertainment that has taken place during the promotion of this fight, as if Wilder had anything to do with it, when in fact it has been all Fury, because he is the articulate one, so much so that one can even put up with Wilder's horrible spoken English which like I've repeated to exhaustion, is really EMBARRASSING to listen to, just to keep listening to Fury's very bright antics.

I mean even Muhammad Ali, who according to many sources, had an under-average IQ, was incredibly witty, although too loud and he used a lot of slang and repetitive stuff, but he was still very interesting to listen to, and he didn't use that many annoying filler words like Wilder does.

Just a very biased opinion here from somebody who hates filler words, repetitive boring speech, getting loud to repeat the same things due to lack of imagination, slang ****** speech, all those things that a manager is supposed to help his boxer eliminate, so he can be at least TOLERABLE to listen to, first, and then help him become MARKETABLE. I am not a fan of Joshua by any means, but the guy is extremely articulate and smart, specially compared to Wilder. He could probably do fine in a battle of wits with Fury. But Wilder is annoying and embarrassing as heck. He should hire somebody to show him how to speak proper English. THEN, only then will he be able to NOT LOOK LIKE A TOTAL IDIOT next to a smart, articulate and entertaining fellow like Fury.

Haha. Gotta love their honesty. They dont have to hate each other to fight. Let em be cordial and than slug it out when it matters.

I don't know where fans got this idea that fighters can't be cool with each other, and still want to beat/destroy the guy in front if them. There's a long history of boxers who were friends (or who had mutual respect for each other) meeting in the ring.

Ali and Fraizer were cordial initially (although the gorilla and Tom jokes made things hostile). Spence just basically retired Peterson despite the close relationship he had with Lamont and Barry.

The presser nonsense is just part of selling a fight. All the complaining about a "fake" beef needs to stop.

Conor and Floyd were basically hugging in their buildup and gave us some of the worst commentary I've ever seen. Despite that, casuals loved it lol

i'd push my opponent to build the fight, but at some stage i'm gonna share a quick grin wiht him and say, "let's go get this money."

never got the whole "bad blood" / macho angle in a boxing match in the sense that i buy into it or think it has an affect on boxing matches, but i see why it sells.

that stuff just wastes yoru energy and pros leave it otuside fo teh ring when fightnight comes. if you're truly on teh world level you need ever drop of sweat and every breath of air, and every little bit of concentration you can muster.

I love this. Can't wait for fight night.
