    You are an odd fellow, then. I took a day off to watch my Uncle die, if you must know.

    So now you have.

    I think at this point you are simply saying foolish things. I will let it stand for itself. Good night.

    I wouldn't go so far as to call NEETz and his alt(s) a dedicated army of followers. More like a clown posse who keep tripping over their own oversize feet.

    Wlad isn't interchangeable with anyone on that list. He's far and away Fury's best win.

    Well no, he was a single belt holder who counted such luminaries as Eric Molina, Artur Szpilka and a late sub Arreola (who drew[lost] his last fight and was busted for doping violations) as viable title defences, and avoided his only tough mandatory in Povetkin. So yeah, if you're scraping the barrel and ducking and swerving like that, and the organisation you're the champion of is letting you get away with it, then it isn't that hard to get to ten defences.

    My mistake. I should have wrote it like this.

    1- wlad
    2- wilder
    3- wallin

    4/5- whyte and chisora.

    Fair enough. I wouldn't put Wallin over Whyte though. On what grounds?

    Sure, why not...

    On the grounds that Whyte seems to have ducked Wallin, let's provisionally put Wallin above Whyte.

    For the sake of consistency then, the list looks like this:

    Wlad.
    Wallin
    Whyte
    Wilder
    Chisora

    After all, if Whyte ducking Wallin gets Whyte below Wallin then Deontay ducking Whyte for years means he must sit beneath both.

    I wonder whether this logical consistency thing will stick?

    I dont think it is no big deal to have a loved one die causing a big distraction for one self and others involved around them.

    I would be surprised if Fury was trying to avoid Ustinov specifically, as previous to that he was in agreement to face D Haye, who I think was a more dangerous opponent and had offered Wilder the fight when that fight fell through, who I also think was a more dangerous opponent

    Can you show me where Fury actually complained about Ustinov being in shape?

    Does this sound like a guy who is happy to be fighting Ustinov? Then, shortly after... Fury pulls out.
    It raised eyebrows, even when Peter was going round the media explaining the family situation.

    Look at the comments on that video. The fans at the time knew what was up, and that Fury was tactically avoiding fellow big men.

    In the four years leading up to Klitschko he fought one man who was 6'4". Wanted nothing to do with 6'8" David Price during that period, and instead of rescheduling against 6'8" Ustinov, he was back in with Chisora (who he categorically stated in this very interview he would never share a ring with). The guy was clearly avoiding big men until he got Wlad in the ring...

    He beat Wilder 3x don't forget that. All his detractors like to chalk that up as one result.

    Whyte was regarded as AJ's second best win and a legitimate threat to Fury. Now Fury beat him easily same people think he's rubbish.

    No he's not Wilder is up there with him. Wilder had 9 or 10 title defences and a few decent scalps. I'd bet on Wilder to KO AJ.

    Your just looking for weak points Wlad had defences vs Lepai and Pianeta. Ruiz isn't far above the level of Arreola either.
