    Yeah but it is well documented that Fenech went off the rails on drugs and alcohol after the robbery he was a shell in the rematch.

    It was also reported that Nelson was battling with malaria leading up to the first Fenech fight. So I guess you can say that both fighters were compromised when those fights took place.

    Wlad was #1 for 11 years and bat all comers besides his brother. Fury was #1 for like 6 months and only best an old man

    Fenech was the smaller man moving up in weight he was a heavy underdog and gave Nelson an absolute hiding not only was he robbed of victory but also robbed of being a 4 weight world champion. If Nelson really had malaria I doubt he would've past the medical before the fight.

    Not denying that Fenech was cheated out of being a 4 weight division champ. I don’t know how plausible the malaria excuse was from Nelson but you still have to give him props for choosing to rematch Fenech, and actually beating him convincingly in front of his hometown. Fenech had the hometown advantage but couldn’t get the job done.

    Im a big fan of both by the way. Those two were great fighters in their primes.

    Because Fury beat Wlad, is that what you're saying?

    Yeah Nelson won the rematch but it just goes to show what a robbery takes out of a fighter.

    Yep another Aussie Stevie Spark got robbed in his last fight in Mexico on the Canelo Ryder undercard so he retired.
