    He goes by a different name now. A shorter more circular one.

    Wlad and Wilder x3 all away from home is probably the best example of a murderer's row you could ever find. Both long-reigning champions, 6'5+, massive punching KO artists.

    We'll see how good Wallin is over the coming years but he's already schooled 2x world title challenger Breazeale in America and is a 6'5, 240 lbs southpaw, which was a combination that didn't exist for virtually all of heavyweight history.

    Cunningham was a 2x cruiserweight champion, beat some good champions, lost close/controversial decisions to others. A 6'3, 82' reach, 210 lbs Cunningham would outbox many of the slow lumps (Whyte, Ruiz) at heavyweight. We've seen cruiserweights have a lot of success at HW in recent years so Cunningham being a cruiser is no excuse.

    Fury is the only man who can defeat the undefeatable

    Usyk is next.

    Although people will quickly change their tune if AJ brings a pair of nuts to the ring with him next time out then people will snap out of their Usyk daze.

    There's also the problem that many heavyweights didn't want to fight a 6'8, 255 lbs Fury on the rise; they were all looking for Klitschko paydays. Fury wanted fights with Chagaev, Adamek, Haye. He got Johnson, Cunningham and a Chisora rematch. If he hadn't wasted a year chasing a big money and status fight with Haye he would have probably fought Pulev in an eliminator.

    He called out Pajkic, but swerved Thompson, Ustinov, etc.

    Guys not fights overall
    Have to look at where they were at the time of their careers

    W Klitschko long reining champ

    D Wilder long reigning undefeated champ

    Chisora... When Fury first fought Chisora he was undefeated, second time he fought Chisora was when Derek was prime. I have not thought of Chisora being prime for years even though he was giving a good account of himself against top HWs for years after

    Whyte

    I think the next one is debatable and can be argued several ways - Wallin, Cunningham, Hammer
    I think maybe Hammer at that time in their respective careers

    I do recall also watching a video where they offered to fight Wilder as well during that time before either had fought for a world title

    With Ustinov he had a relative go ill late on.
    I don't think that is swerving anyone

    He pulled out after the weigh in. He whined that the Klitschko's, Haye and Chisora were stitching him up, because Ustinov showed up in shape. His relative was in the hospital well before Chisora pulled out.

    You have no idea what you're talking about you absolute fool of a man.

    Hughie had a cardiac arrest during surgery and was moved to intensive care on fight day and died 11 weeks later.

    Stop talking nonsense before I chin you.

    i am 100% correct. You are simply a fan boy in the first degree. I'd go back in the articles and find the quote, if you promised to leave the forum forever. You'd never honor it though, clown that you are.

    Wilder
    Wilder
    Wladimir
    Wallin
    Whyte

    I would have put Chisora but that would’ve spoilt that perfect symmetry I’ve got going on there…
