Fury's legacy is about on par with that of Andy Ruiz's at this point

    You could argue (I suppose) that Fury is better, but at this point they're both basically one hit wonders. The difference is Ruiz's limelight only lasted a couple months, whereas Fury has been able to stretch his façade out for 2 years, despite doing nothing to capitalize on his championship crown.

    And spare me the mention of the Klitschko victory. That was downright THE WORST most God Awful professional "fight" I have ever witnessed, I've seen better fights at my kids soccer games for **** sakes

    In fact, I would even say that Ruiz has been facing the tougher opposition between the two

    Ruiz has literally one top 10 win ever in Joshua, a wide loss to him and a close loss to Parker. Fury beat Hammer, Cunningham, Chisora twice, Wilder twice and Wlad and they were all top 10. Fury also must be a two hit wonder by your logic having first dethroned Klitschko by being the only man to ever outbox him (as he was a master boxer, hence why it was such an incredible feat) then reascended upon his throne against Wilder.
    Ruiz has faced two tough opponents ever... You're ******ed.
    Your silly hatred stands up to zero scrutiny.

    I'm not so sure boxing is the right sport for you. It doesn't seem to bring you any joy, only hate. Maybe time for a break?

    at least he fought Klit and beat him in a god awful fight,,,

    it still counts for something,

    unlike Wilder who doesnt like to step up to fight the guys at the very top because he dont want it,

    but i get your point that Fury is being over-rated at this point,

    Nah Fury beat Klitschko comfortably. He also beat Wilder and Chisora who are top 15 opponents. But yes he is overrated

    Eh, wha? Ruiz shocked the world and took out Joshua, that’s for sure, but it’s the only top win on his record.

    Fury has both Klit and Wilder. Yes, the Klitschko win was butt ugly, but he dethroned a long, long standing champion.

    Beyond that, the next tier of respective wins isn’t even close. Who’s next for Ruiz?

    No, Fury hasn`t been out-boxed by anybody while AJ out-boxed Ruiz, plus Fury`s best opponents never beat him in a rematch, even if Wlad could have won a rematch v Fury he wouldn`t have out-boxed him the same way AJ out-boxed Ruiz, plus AJ couldn`t out-box Fury that way either.

    No comparison, this is ludicrous. Fury is boxing at a very high level. He’s in great shape and might be the best HW on the planet. Fat Andy is just the fattest on the planet possibly. His lack of discipline is pathetic. I hope the OP was just joking.

    What a freakin idiotic opening post. If Fury v Wlad was the most [Start hyperbole] Worst most god awful professional fight you ever witnessed [\Hyperbole], you are simply outing yourself a noob. Which explains the level of your post history.

    I don't agree at all.

    Ruiz may have fast hands, but he's very beatable and flawed: you just have to jab and move and Ruiz is toast. Parker could figure that out and adjust in the middle of his fight with Ruiz to get the win. It's pathetic AJ couldn't make those adjustments on the fly and needed an entire camp to educate him on this basic tactic.

    Fury demolished a prime, undefeated Wilder and comfortably out-boxed Wlad -- Wlad who was undefeated for over 10 years, barely losing more than a round or two in those 10 years.

    Actually I now see that you discount the victory over Wlad completely. Well, if you can't appreciate the skill and talent that went into Fury schooling Wlad, you're a complete moron and I'll have to remember to discount your opinions in the future.
