    Wlad and Wilder defended their belts numerous times. Didn't stop Fury embarrassing then.

    Belts don't mean squat

    Average punchers? Stop it? Rhaman and McCall were FAR better punchers than all opponents Fury faced, save a 39 year old disinterested Wlad and Wilder who could not to box. Far lesser punchers than Rahman or McCall did things to Fury, and that is the fact

    Right. Who has he beaten in a title defense, who? They were cherry picked opponents for his lineal title defenses, aside from say Wilder who was exposed as a fraud.

    No, the fact is they were not that big of a puncher

    LOL if Fury's chin is A grade I wonder what McCall and Vitali's chins are?

    People always interpret these things in different ways. I presume the people voting "A" are voting in terms of punchers survived. So if you survive massive puncehrs you rate higher. Fury survived a puncher as big as anyone.

    But for me, that's too high. I'm surprised by how highly the forum rates Fury's chin, clearly he's seen as being absolutely elite. The good thing about boxing is time will likely tell.

    Beating Wallin, Schwarz, Sefari and Pianeta don't mean squat either

    I guess that's what can happen when you consistently fight top ten guys and defend your belts. Fury wouldn't know. He took steroids and has never defended a belt. Remember that?

    He can stand upright in a standard consumer grade car wash for 3 minutes without feeling any noticeable discomfort. Not sure what that means though.
