When you're the better man (out of just 2 of you) you tend to be more gracious, and easier going when you both chime in on a topic.
That's something we as guys do almost subconsciously, in the court of public opinion it's in your best interest to take the high road.
Furys a sharp guy, knows how to work a room. 'Working a room' is a dying art which is a shame, but that's another topic.
He knows the value of good morale.
Deontay is NOT quiet, he's NOT at a loss for words, ever.
And he's pissed bc he did his part in winning his tune up emphatically only to watch money go down the drain.
So he didn't feel one bit bad about saying what he said, and I say props to him.
You're able to drop every single human on earth, and Fury is the endearing guy already. So playing sympathetic adversary would have been too forced.
Both guys are right, and I think the Universe rewarded them for fighting each other, so much so that they still have their 0s.
Joshua lost his in a "That's what you get for fucking around" type of way that will hurt more than losing to Fury/Wilder would.
