Is Fury the worst 'recognised' Heavyweight Champion in history?

I see. Well, he might be better than Wlad Klitschko. I'm not sure who Fury loses to on Wlad's resume. But for longevity, you'd have to still rank Klitschko higher. Still, Fury beat him even if Klitschko was 95 years old.

I wouldn't place Fury above Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield, Holmes; basically anyone recognized as champ from the 80s onward (except for maybe Klitschko). Those guys have losses but they fought everyone (and each other).

 

Proper champions don't dodge opponents. Or make excuses.

In my eyes Usyk is the champ. Fury is little more than a walking headline these days.

The genuine greats fight all-comers. They actually want to prove themselves.

 

Lol. Fury will turn 35 in a few months and he doesn’t fight more than once a year. He won’t fight until December (if he fights in 2023 at all). There are Usyk, Joshua, Ruiz, Zhang, Joyce whom he should fight at the very least. Also, you could throw in the likes of Hrgovic, Pulev, Sanchez, Makhmudov or Gassiev. How do you suppose he will fight all of them? You Furyettes elevate him to the level of the likes of Ali. Ali fought literally everyone, so don’t you give me the bull about “oh, but such and such fighter is not relevant”. The ogre talks about “no man born from his mother blah blah” but hasn’t fought a non-Wilder top fighter in eight years.

And even if he was to fight the top five guys I mentioned, there will always be the argument that the fight is too late, the fighters are too old. Last spring, Usyk would have been 35 and Fury would have been 33. Now, even if they fight, Usyk will be nigh on 37 and Fury 35. Same thing with Joshua. They could have fought as early as 2019. Fury kept ducking him.

It’s hilarious how those fanatic Furyettes who still side with the con man talk about such delusions how he will clean the division up still, while Shrek himself retires more per year than he actually fights. The last semi decent fight was against a chinny uppercut magnet plodder Whyte over a year ago. His last fight where there was at least a slight possibility for him to lose was in 2021.

There hasn’t been a more cowardly, worthless champion in the history of this sport who conned his rabid fans into believing that he is an ATG. Even most of his supporters turned their backs on him by now, and rightly so. With the ideas you presented in your post you are in an ever receding pocket of overzealous fanboys of Shrek, mate. Time and track record is not on your side.

 

No he won't. You know as well as everyone else that Fury is ducking everyone who has a chance of beating him.

 

Fury beat two reigning champions for his belts

Usyk beat a bodybuilder who was gifted them

When Fury takes little Usyk's head off in 6 months time just remember I TOLD YA SO.

Fury's owes nobody nothing

 

Yeah I admit that he is ducking Usyk but I think he will eventually fight him and beat him.

 

I just skim read your long post. I am under no illusion when it comes to Fury. I am not some rabid fanboy as you say. I know he is holding up the division and playing stupid games in his negotiations he is a dick head and difficult to deal with. I do however still believe he is the best heavyweight in the world and I think deep down he wants to be recognized as such and will have no choice but to fight Usyk and when he does he will beat him. Outside of Usyk who really has a realistic chance of beating him?

 

Then why is he dodging Usyk?

Fury would almost beat Usain Bolt given how fast he has run from that fight.

 

Maybe he'll fight Derek Chisora again? Why take the Usyk fight when Chisora will happily show up for a 4th beating.

Fury is an absolute and utter fraud. In the greater scheme of things he's beaten an old Klitschko and a guy who has no boxing ability whatsover in Wilder.

He's run from both AJ and Usyk. He is not a champion.

 

I agree that Fury is ducking Usyk. I disagree that he is a fraud. His wins over Klitchko and Wilder impressed me as did him being able to beat a top 10 guy like Whyte without even getting out of 2nd gear. I don't rate Whyte highly but he has never been made to look like a complete chump like what Fury did to him.
