    Us Sharkey fans just speak the truth. You can love it or hate it.

    Pulev was you're right, so he did manage two.

    But it's weird, two as a part of picking off handfuls of contenders, and Fury does it twice almost off the cuff.

    I think that Sharkey, Fulton and Miske could beat Parker.

    And if you ask me I'm not sure a young Mike Tyson or Riddick Bowe would have made it past any of them, either.

    No we're not. If I were to say "I think Tyson, Holyfield and Lewis could beat Parker" you would be perfectly ok with that and wouldn't think I was delusional. But as soon as some one says Sharkey, Fulton and Miske could beat Parker then suddenly they are delusional! That sounds biased to me.

    Yes but if you look at the shuffling the pack heavyweight champions, they often took highly ranked challengers, and that was often why they weren't champions for very long.

    I'm really hoping I've got you all wrong and you're trolling because that post genuinely made me laugh.

    Maybe this was a joke but I am still in favor of Sharkey being able to hang with a cruiser Holyfield, though.

    Don't know **** (you can fill in the blanks) about boxing. Judging by the majority of the poll, I guess the majority "dksab". Real objective poll

    Maybe

    I don't think they are far off at all and neither is done.

    Fury beating Wlad is better than any of Dempsey's wins, and he's added a demolition of Wilder.

    Joshua is showing plenty willingness to fight top challengers and an impressive ability to adapt. He doesn't have the top end wins yet of the level of Fury's but has plenty of depth of wins not that far off, and I think will have much better longevity.

    The problem is that you made a pack of Fury and Aj. And they are very different. Fury is better and greater than Aj.
    Fury has a case. Prime dempsey would not beat the version of wladimir that Furt schooled and i think that wilder would ko dempsey to be honest

    no it is not (in the case of FURY). wladimir is better than anything that dempsey has in his record and h2h wilder would clean the full opposition of dempsey and probably would ko dempsey
