    mate, your letting your hate of Wlad cloud your judgement, the gap in accomplishments is pretty big, Fury, who's a head2head beast but he aint been the dominant champ like klit...You cant ignore longevity or you can kick out half the atg's in boxing, its moving goal posts a little imo Egg

    It demonstrates that Wladimir Klitschko fought against poor competition, to the degree that you cannot even respond with his best win.

    Who would Tyson Fury lose to that Wladimir Klitschko beat during his reign? Would Tyson Fury be knocked out by the multiple average boxers Wladimir Klitschko was knocked out by?

    I don’t hate wlad at all!

    atg based on longevity. I think he’s a bit of a fake like aj, but you have to be a bit nasty to be world class.

    I’m trying to even think if there is a boxer I hate, probably none most have my respect and achieved more than I can dream

    bellew can be irritating I guess lol


    Edit: don’t hate but dislike Anthony Fowler as Iv met him and he is arrogant and broner (but now I feel sorry for him a bit)

    As soon as the HW division started to heat up, Wlad got eliminated. Schooled by Fury and KO’d by a fairly green Joshua. Fury goes through Wlads resume undefeated.

    Age is a factor hera mate, he just didn't retire because the younger generation was starting to peak, he wanted to rematch Fury and he showed up Joshua really in his 40's..Imo he went out with pride

    He may be the first of his type but certainly not the first of his name which was Iron Mike Tyson.

    He was impressive against klitschko aswell and he’s got it all,
    Size, power, speed, good feet/head movement, his ring generalship is like no other! And Tyson made him look clumsy at times

    Fury is the first over 6 foot eight fighter with this level of skill and movement yes


    but he’s not on the level of skill that the Klitschko’s were. He don’t have nowhere near the power of that either K bro did. Fury is not even close to Vlads sharp Percision offensive punching


    but he is taller so in a way he is the “first of the 6 foot 8+“ on this world skill level


    I agree with that

    But by Vitali, Lewis, and Wlad were all more skill and were just 2 to 3 inches shorter than Tyson fury


    But given how big Fury is ——it is unheard of for a fighter to be as skilled, slick and fast as he is


    I applaud him as he is one of a kind

    Also he is the only heavyweight champ to be banned for 2 years for a failed drug test, for nandrolone.
