    If this era is weak what was the last 15 years, pre-fury beating Wlad?

    Only haters disregard and put down Fury.

    what does haters even mean anymore? from my level of understanding of boxing, i see what i described. you see from a different level of understanding. as does everyone else. we are in an era where the biggest wins are wilder and ruiz. wilder and ruiz are the measuring sticks...think about that.

    Fury has beaten Wlad x2, AJ, Usyk, Whyte, Wilder x3, Chisora x2 & more. Bow down.

    By your standards what was the last not "mediocre" HW era?

    its been in gradual decline since the 90s. with few flashes of substance in between. thats why the belts get passed around like a hot potato when you can actually get guys to fight each other. or what, you think the reason its been competitive is because its filled with great fighters?

    What bothers me most is you never really apologised for what you saided. You just kept on going on like you were not FACTUALLY wrong. That is the part that I just cannot get over. You do not care about your name/honour on the forum that you spend like your life on.

    Master boxer - no.
    Good boxer - yes.
    Better boxer than Usyk - absolutely not.
    Bigger and stronger than Usyk - yes.

    Fury will be Usyk's most difficult matchup at HW, which I've said since rhat start. Usyk would dominate Wilder, and has beaten Joshua. I'm just not clear how the size of Fury impacts the result of this fight.

    Read the write up, I think it is quite fair to point out weaknesses in Fury but I think his skillset is very real. I feel Fury is more inconsistent than anything since the comeback given his weight fluctuations and trainer changes. When his is at his best his defense is good, his movement for his size is great and he has good feints and counters. I also like that he can get in the trenches and get dirty when he has to, well rounded

    For Wallin, forgive me as I have not watched it in a while but I felt Fury won pretty handily on the cards and I could probably excuse away some of the problems with getting hit and fighting a sloppy aggressive fight due to the cut. The cut made it tough to see certain punches and had to of created and urgency that otherwise would not have existed without the cut

    I will say Fury regressed in the rematch with Wilder, now some of this could be explained by Wilder changing camps and making improvements. But Fury was too fat and too open, was he overconfident maybe. I do agree that usyk is not a foregone conclusion, if Fury fights that irresponsible and shows up that fat he will lose to usyk or at the very least he is in for a big scare

    That said he is an overwhelming favorite against Whyte, Joshua, Ruiz, Ortiz, Parker

    However, he is vulnerable and has inconsistency which makes the fights interesting. Wlad was dominant for so long but that is an oddity

    The only man who can beat Tyson Fury is named Tyson Fury

    Section 127 of the Communications Act makes it an offense to send public messages of a “grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character.


    I find this grossly offensive

    Fury is gonna do a number on Whyte.

    Dillian is a good fighter but there are levels to this game.

    Has there been a post here with more likes as this thread's opening I wonder?
    It also shows there are more rational posters here as it looks at the surface imo.

    I've had several that have gotten up there, quite a few nearing 50, maybe even 60. But I think this is the first one to actually exceed 60.
