    Today I learned Tyson Fury isn't loved by the british public.

    Could have sworn he became a national treasure after the Wilder fight.

      Calzaghe wasn't really all that popular in the UK. He was a bit like Fury in that regard.
      Overall, though who was the more popular fighter in either era? Which of these two fighters was the most popular in Great Britain; Prince Naseem Hamed or Ricky Hatton? In other words, who had more fans?

        It sounds like you're flipping Laced. It seems that you have given up hope on AJ?

          Ehhhh

          I was literally one of the original Fury fans on this forum since he became a thing. I have always been a Fury fan.

          I'm also a fan of AJ.

            He joined the British merchant navy and died when his ship was torpedoed by a German Uboat. His surname died with him, because he and my great, great grandma never married. They had a daughter together, but couldn't marry because she was already legally married to somebody else.

            After the war, she did get married again, and her English husband adopted her daughter and gave her his name.
            Makes sense since there are a lot of neo-****s in Western Ukraine.

            It’s just crazy that a lot of history books tend to have omitted a lot of things. It’s just pretty much how Americans have continued to lie to themselves that they saved Europe and destroyed the ****s when the ****s had already been destroyed for the most part before they joined the war.

            Great stuff.

              Fury is the most popular when it comes to yobs and media hacks like The Sun and Dailymail, lol.

              A national treasure of far right nutjobs.

                  America can’t even save its own nuts without Europe and it was smacked around in Vietnam.

                  Better stay away from Iran before you get thoroughly embarrassed in MENA, lol.

                    Hitler made 2 major mistakes during the war.

                    One was calling off The Battle of Britain just when the RAF were about to crack because they lost so many men and couldn't train fighter pilots quickly enough to replace them.

                    The other was breaking his pact with Stalin and invading Russia. He had the most powerful military in the world at that time, but not powerful enough to fight both the Soviets on the Eastern front, and the Brits and the US in the West. When the Yanks piled in on our side, Adolf was fcked.

                    God bless America!

                      Most Brit historians and academics (based on the research papers I’ve read) believed Hitler never had any intentions to invade Great Britain. Perhaps due to the German connection with the House of Windsor. However, he never expected France to fall/crumble as fast as it did, hence he had to continue pushing further Westwards, albeit without much commitment.

                      His biggest gaffe was the adventure against Stalin and the Red Army. That was where he lost the war and over 90% of the ****’s military capability. You don’t invade a formidable country that big where everyone is a nationalist and a country with a history where there has never been a successful invasion (not too sure about this). Once the Soviet broke the eastern flank and started marching towards Berlin, it was over.

                      Yanks mostly fought the Italian and Japanese forces. ****s were already done for the most part when they joined the war.
