Honestly: Why did Fury never get the respect and credit for beating Klitschko?

    Do you have any evidence that they are 'roid cheats' or are you just spreading fake news?

    Because he became 25 stone of roids and hubba bubba and talked an unholy amount of shyte in the process.

    That being said he had a fair amount of props in the recent aftermath of his victory.

    Because the punch stats had to be measured in feints and not actual punches.

    **** off with your hipster ''fake news'' spiel.

    They both tested positive for nandrolone last year.

    Don't waste my time again responding with basic level stuff that takes less than a minute to research.

    I think he did get a good deal of respect, but he kind of squandered that by doing nothing since, and doesn't appear ready to have a top level fight any time in the foreseeable future.

    Fury was busy laying out his belts on twitter after ducking the Klitschko rematch not once but twice with a caption of "I'll always be the real lineal champion". That doesn't exactly get you respect.

    It can only be classified as a duck if he went and fought somebody else.

    There is no such thing as ducking a guy you already dominated in cruise control.

    Because too many people wrote off his chances before the fight and it was too galling for them to turn around and say they were wrong about him than to just ridicule the victory and downplay the achievement as a fluke over an aged and shot former champion.

    It was the manner in which he won. Boring fight with reluctance to engage with a dead man in front of him. That doesn't promote excitement.

    He had a mummy in front of him and was too scared to engage. It was a pitiful dreadful fight. You know it Dino.

    What other choice does one have to belittle Fury and downplay his achievement as a fluke? What other option does he leave us?

    Not to mention failed to play the game with the media making silly comments that could only ever harm his career and give people looking for a reason to dislike him all the ammunition they needed.
