Self respect? What an odd comment. I just think you are idiot for your stupid troll like comments, that is all. It's not only me that thinks this due to the many replies which you receive to your nonsense ramblings, which is a shame as you are clearly a big fight fan.
Yes, respect starts with you. Your reliance on the ad populum fallacy demonstrates your lack of it also. I am a huge fan of the game, I base my opinion on what I see inside the ring and try to ignore as much as possible the circus outside of it. That seems to upset you for some reason, that’s on you pal.
It’s got nothing to do with what other posters in droves think, I was just using that as an example, however there are many that seem to think you are a wal. Good to hear you are a big fight fan, I called that about you in my last reply.
If it had nothing to do with it you wouldn't have mentioned it in every post. You're appealing to the consensus, at least be honest about it.
I couldn’t care less about the consensus, I was responding to you talking nonsense in your posts. Fury still nailed on to batter Uysk according to you or is he now shot? Keep playing the percentages there.
I only listed Lewis's marquee wins, which by strong consensus are the about to go 1-1-1 with John Ruiz Holyfield and Byrd-victim Vitali. These are by far his most important wins, not beating 2nd/3rd tier guys who were no better than many Klitschko challengers and gatekeepers. Lewis could very easily have losses to 11-4-1 Mike Acey, Mercer and Vitali with different officials, as well as his actual losses to McCall and Rahman. But he doesn't.
Fury could have lost to Wallin, McDermott, Wilder (in the first fight) and Ngannou with different officials and judges. Lewis is way more proven and never in a million years would nearly lose to a guy on his debut. The Vitali he fought and the Holyfield he beat are still better than anyone on Fury’s resume bar maybe Wlad imo. He beat top 10 guys consistently while Fury has beaten a total of 3 top 10 guys. There’s no comparison.
Agree. It was just a different era in the 90s - other than maybe Bowe and Lewis, and Tyson becoming more of a circus act for money, people didn't shy away from each other or price themselves out. Maybe the titles being split for longer, and less of a worry over unification, helped.
And how would he have lost to Vitali ? Which official would have let that continue with the state of his eye. His eyelid was practically hanging off.
I created a thread calling Fury a shot fighter after what I saw in the Ngannou fight. The mods merged it because I called them out on their biases but it’s not hard to find. Fury’s only approach against little USKY is to maul him. He tried it against Ngannou who can stand up for himself and he got exposed in there against a wrestler. I don’t know how to assess the Fury USKY fight any more, with the size and strength difference Fury will probably still rightly be the favourite but he’s clearly lost his speed and footwork and timing so who knows. He might still have enough to gypsy roughhouse his way to a stoppage, he might not. Before the ngannou fight I was lumping big on Fury to smash little USKY to bits and stop him. Now I’m not certain because I believe Fury is shot. why that offends you so much is your problem not mine.
Exactly, the guy has an agenda against Lewis (probably down to the fact Lewis beat one of his favourite fighters). I still think he has plenty left in the tank and the Usyk fight will motivate him to train far harder than he did for his last 4 fights. I just struggle to see him turning up in the shape he did against Ngannou, I think he’ll be more than ready and I’m predicting a late stoppage win for Fury.
Why are you crying. This is a forum, people aren't going to agree with everything you say, maybe you are too sensitive over your favourites for forums. Fury at his best is a hard fight for ANYONE in his history, with his high ring IQ, skills, size, massive heart, reach, footwork, head movement, faints, adaptability, self belief. Fury has already proved he's an elite heavyweight, and a future hall of famer. There's nothing wrong with someone having the opinion that Fury could possibly win this fight. Lewis wasn't unbeatable.
