I would bet my left bolllock that most boxing fans would prefer to watch a Fury press conference than a Wlad press conference

Wow 10 out of 10 for pointing out the obvious Vik.

The point is that running around in a Batman costume and jumping over a table to pretend fight someone you've paid to dress up as the Joker doesn't count as trash talking, or anything even resembling it.

Never has, never will.

I try to avoid them. They make me feel uncomfortable and embarrassed for him.

The batman suit thing was part of the theatrics. You do not seem to be able to grasp that point.

Yes I'm fully able to grasp the point that dressing up as Batman is theatrical.

What I'm not grasping is why you think that there is a place or need for that in a Heavyweight world title fight. You can't have been following boxing for that many years if you think that's the norm or has some kind of historical precedent in the sport.

I'm all for some good trash talking but dressing up as Batman and pretend fighting someone dressed as the Joker isn't that.

Mohammed Ali or Mike Tyson wouldn't have walked in wearing a batman suit

cos it sells the fight the very fact we are talking about it proves that theory, forums and lesser boxer fans have been talking about it for two days now. Extra publicity more viewers, more money. Even Wlad said he his happy to have an opponent that will entertain and make the fight more popular.

No Ali would turn up at the actual fighters house with a film crew goading him out. Ali turned whole nations against fighters, he made Frazier out to be a Uncle Tom and the black race lapped it up and made him an enemy. Ali took things far further than Fury did he made it very personal and invaded other fighters personal lives thats a fact. He was also much smarter than Fury (in a general sense) and in todays political correctness Fury is not and cannot be as bad as Ali was back in the day. Granted Ali also obv took a lot of $hit also. But were talking about pre fight build ups
