    Based on what? What ranked HW had Cunningham beaten prior to being handpicked by Fury?

    Mob fix? Hope they don't do him in like they did Liston.

    Really, really disrespectful to Ali. I don't know what kind of bias makes anyone believe Fury is anything similar to him.

    Ali also went life and death with journeymen on numerous occasions.

    you missed "as his career high".

    kliturd must learn to read whole sentences, not just selective words that when put together yield a completely different meaning which then happens to support wlad.

    Cunningham was actual world class as he was a world champion.

    Does anyone criticise Wlad for facing Mormeck:yep:patsch

    I am not comparing Furys abiloty to Alis.

    If you actually read the first post you will see how weak Ali was thought of and how little chance he was given to beat Liston. Hed been dropped by two much smaller fighters and been gifted a decision.

    Out of 68 people polled only 2 gave Ali a chance. Fury isnt thought of as much of an underdog as that!!

    I think some people who steadfastly refuse to believe Fury stands a chance will have lots of crow to swallow come fight night and will look like right bell ends the day after.

    Yep - because Ali is the greatest Heavyweight ever and Fury is ..... also a Heavyweight?

    Berto has little chance against Mayweather, so I guess he'll win too.

    ali had fought himself into number one spot by beating lots of guys who were top 10, all the way up to the number 2.

    fury has beaten a journeyman who is barely top ten.

    furthermore, liston was a recognised hof-killer, explaining why he was seen to have no chance. wlad is a recognised victim of journeymen.


    the gulfs are different, very. why not use the comparison between fraudley and haye, that's more accurate,

    So Liston wasn't a journeyman? By today's standards he would be and you know it.
