    There's always an excuse for Tyson.

    We all know that sequence won't happen. More like he'll retire after fighting the same guy for the third time.

    Pov is a great scalp for anyone.

    Not an excuse, it's well documented he was around the 400lbs mark in 2017.

    Not sold on Pov myself. Rocked by British level Price, ineffective against Hughie Fury, scraped a draw against Hunter who himself went life and death with Bakole, KTFO by Joushua. Not seeing anything spectacular there.

    I don't get how Povetkin is rated so highly at the moment he is 41 hasn't ever had a truly elite win and has built a name on the back of a beatdown from Wlad way back in 2013 and failed ped tests!!!
    Whyte fighting Sasha is a joke and Whyte deserves zero credit for beating a pensioner. He also AJs third best win after Parker and a 41 year old washed up Wlad.
    Joshua's resume is worse than Furys and he knows it he is just trying to hype their fight ready for his enevitable beatdown.

    What's the excuse for fighting a blown up CW? Not fighting Price at the time? Not wanting to fight top challengers?

    Still a better win that Otto Wallin, Cunningham and Chisora.

    He fought Wilder who was the Alpha fighter of the division, at 50% and in America. He also fought Klitschko at the peak of his reign and dethroned him, in Germany. Your argument is invalid.

    The alpha? Aww, did a muscley black man get you worked up? The most basic, you mean.

    Yeah, a Wlad that was gong through personal problems.

    Who else is there? Go on...

    EVERYBODY knows Wilder was the most limited. It's common knowledge that Wlad and his other half were going through some seriously messy problems.

    But when Tyson isn't slim it's fine to give his opponents a pass? Please...

    So limited that Eddie and Barry **** it big time and deliberately priced themselves out of the market.

    He's also been disrespecting Tyson and Jones Jr, who are 5 or 6 levels above both him and Andy Ruiz

    He’s right of course. Once we get past Klitschko (who both Fury and Joshua have beaten, but Joshua beat a far better version) then Fury’s cv lacks depth.

    Wilder is a poor-man’s David Tua. A good win but miles off a great one. Perhaps a heavyweight Jeff Lacy. Fury needs to get cracking to build his record. If all the top ranked opponents are getting on then fight them; they’re still better than Scwarz and Wallin.
