    If a guy like Wilder is in top 3, 40 year old Vetkin and Pulev, and 55 year old Ortiz are in top 10 it says a lot.
    Even Chisora, who got dominated by 41 year old 1 handed Vitaly 10 years ago, still knocking guys out.

    The "MORE" in your sentence is redundant. If you gain something, you are automatically getting more of it.

    What I liked about his performance was that, for a change he didn't dull down to his opponents level. Usually if he's in with a far inferior boxer he fights down to their level. However he fought to his level which was so many levels above the bum killer thus we ended up with a mismatch.

    Absolutely anybody who didn’t just isn’t sensible. Fury was great and deserves full credit.

    Wilder was Wilder. Fury was a bit more aggressive. To me Fury's power punching could be a bit more crisp and accurate, but he has good enough boxing ability to make Wilder look a couple levels below him.

    Good argument. Because one guy has a weak resume from not fighting the top fighters in the division it's weak.

    Wilder always looked a little limited, but his power was so great.. Fury deserves respect

    I already had respect for Fury. The first fight was 10 rounds to 2 Fury, the rematch, a knockout!!!!!!!

    I respect that he chose to walk to and through Wilder instead of trying to go safety first and box again and let the judges have a say.

    So I suppose in the regard, yes.
