    He shamefully ducked Wladimir Klitschko in a rematch. So this disqualifies him.

    No he rolled his ankle and had to pull out....just like Wlad had to pull out and push their fight back

    But Then UKAD took that as the opportunity to pull out their bogus claims which they sat on for 1.5 years whilst they hold onto AJ's high grade steriodium blood in a bank fault.

    Funny enough if Fury didn't roll that ankle UKAD would not have put proceedings out against him, funny isn't it? shows how corrupt this sport is.

    You calm your tits. Whether I’ve laced up a glove or not has nothing to do with this thread.

    Sure. Overall, it seems pretty obvious.

    But I wouldn't be surprised if he's stretched by Wilder in their rubber match.

    Happens to the best of them.

    Skill-wise, I think he's there.

    But he needs some resume depth. I hope he can at least take AJ down before he retires.

    I don't know anything about this guy, but he is diminutive (for a heavy), over thirty and has only beaten one guy with a positive record.

    Smells like **** to me, mate. Maybe he'll be the next Monk Foreman, Kimbo Slice, Butterbean, or James McCenzie Morrison.

    Fury ducked Wladimir Klitschko in the rematch, that's a fact.

    We heard that in the 80s, we heard that in the 90s, we heared that in the 00s, we hear that in the 10s. We're heard that in every decade since the 70's.

    It's getting pretty boring.

    No that is your opinion. What is fact is that Tyson Fury at that time was mentally ill.

    No. Wlad was greater imo. Fury needs more time and a match against Joshua or Ruiz (Wilder would be fine, too).

    Best talent? Yes
    Greatest? No

    Wlad is still the greatest HW since Lennox. Tyson won't string together a reign like Wlad did. I don't want to hear "he could" or "he would've with Wlad's opponents", he won't. He's not consistent enough and will retire or go on a drug and hedgehog eating binge before he even get's close.

    He doesn't have the resume to be called the greatest since Lewis. He didn't defend the belts he won, not even once. I give him credit for recovering from his depression issues but the fact that he couldn't take the rematch against Klitschko and defend his titles will always be a stain in his record, at least to me.

    Also, none of the boxers he has fought since his return have been in the top 10 aside from Wilder. That kinda sucks.
