    he had tried to make the weight and failed, so was penalised with heavy gloves. the point of this was to disadvantage him, and that point bore fruit.

    a 37 year old retiring neveracheiver who shouldn't have been given a title shot in the first place when prime, let alone when shot2****. that's what it is, you cant dress it up any different. and he pulverised Wlad in mere minutes.

    wont forget about Shavers though. he hit 10 times as hard as Sanders, and was prime too.

    povetkins power is insignificant compared to Ern's.

    yes.

    I don't understand that you think these guys don't have a good chance of icing Wlad, or that they didn't beat better fighters, or that they didn't have worse losses than a 37 year old retiree shot2**** neverman.

    that's not to knock wlad's LONGEVITY and COMMITMENT, which easily trump those corresponding values of most of these guys. In that respect he is far superior.

    How about the Jess Willard, Jack Dempsey era? You implying Tyson Fury wouldn't be competitive with the big farmboy Willard? He would be 8 inches taller than Dempsey although I see Dempsey beating him. He would easily even at age 25 be top 5 in the Dempsey, Willard period. The guy is undefeated, very young, huge with good punching power and great stamina for such a big guy. He is also a good infighter for a tall guy, better than Wlad in that department, although Wlad will whip him when they meet.

    Funny the closest thing to Frazier, that Fury fought was poor mans Frazier Derek Chisora who took Fury life and death. But Frazier...the original article cant beat Fury?

    Norton was able to outbox Holmes and Ali, but he cant outbox Fury?

    Douglas was a very good boxer as was Tucker. Neither Tyson nor Lewis were able to stop Tucker, but Furys going to beat him?

    Foreman and Witherspoon have Furys kryptonite, a very good right hand

    I got 4 main names and a whole list of other guys who would knock Fury spark out.

    Bowe would push Furys chit in, Evander would take Fury to places hes never been.

    And Lewis? Straight right hand down the pipe whenever he wants and Furys sleeping

    So Povetkin and Pulev are fat plodders with no technical skills? Could you please explain that?

    He beat Riddick Bowe
    Larry Holmes
    George Foreman
    And had two tough fights with Lewis, yes the same Lewis who carved the much bigger Vitalis face in.

    I think Evander is more than qualifed to beat Fury

    Oh yes, i forgot to mention, Evander also beat Valuev at the age of near 50

    The best of the bunch.

    Got his ass handed to him by Purrity, Sanders, Williamson, Brewster and almost lost to the compelte **** house Peters.

    Never beat anybody elite himself and fought the worst fights in HW history. When this guy is at the top , you know the division is dead.

    The facts don't lie. The HW Championship has been reduced to Eurosport level. Home of HW fighters such as Arich, Spaglam, Hammer, Leif Larson , etc.

    LOL.

    Solis is one of the biggest wastemen of the last 10 years. He is an absolute BUM.
    He can't even beat a hamburger let alone a top HW.
    He has been an embarrassment to HW boxing.

    Who did he beat?

    He went life and death with flabby no namer Larson and lost to a slow as **** Thopmson who then lost every round to another no namer.
    He got blown out in one round by Vitali, yet a guy like Chisora can run Vitali from pillar to post and give him his hardeset fight since Lewis.:patsch:nut

    to be fair, that was a much primer Lewis that Holy faced, and he was a way more past his prime than the prime vits who got destroyed by LL.

    Holyfield goes the distance twice with a prime Lewis, despite being nearly 40 himself.

    Vitali, depsite being in his prime, gets carved up by a much older Lewis.

    Not to mention, the closest thing to Holyfield that Fury fought was a CW called Cunningham who nearly had him out cold

    And Cunningham aint no Holyfield thats for sure

    Bowe beat him
    He beat a Holmes ten years past his prime
    Forman twenty years past his prime
    Got handled by Lennox

    Even at that fury is 5-6 taller than anyone you mentioned
    As for valuev his pretty **** anyway and Holyfield was roided up to the gills against him
