Tyson Fury's top 5 wins (top 10)

I'm happy that 10 years from now boxing forums will still be talking about Tyson Fury, The Gypsy King.

 

Why would you dismiss something just because one fighter is the A side
Tyson had various things going on when he lost to Douglas
Sometimes people have things going on that can affect them

I favoured Fury to beat Wladimir and posted my reasons, which were spot on

 

Another excellent example. Tyson held every single advantage and still came in less than he should.

Absolutely no excuse.

 

You know shits bad when you have to list the same fighter 2x-3x

 

Klitschko
Wilder 2
Wilder 3
Chisora 2
Whyte
Chisora 1
Chisora 3
Wallin
Cunningham
Hammer? Pianeta??? Ngannou?!?!?!


I really rate Fury all time, but man this is a disappointing resume. So odd to see it written down how many fights are repeats.

 

He holds the best win by far of any active HW, unless you want to count Fury on Usyk's resume.

 

The result of the Klitschko fight may indeed be the best win as you say - but two things can be true at once. That was a great result at the time for sure, but his resume is also criminally thin for such a talented boxer in such an active and loaded era. That is also a fact. And I’m a Fury fan, I just feel disappointed that he will probably be remembered more as an enigma, rather than the potential ATG he could’ve been.

 

wlad did not lose every round and any version of wlad younger than 36 beats Fury with ease .
Fury is a glass jawed british hype job who never fought elite opponent in his prime until he fought Usyk and the middleweight schooled him twice .

 

I would argue Kingpin #10. He beat Pianeta, and whereas Hammer beat him, it was past his best, and he accomplished more in contender for a title.

Hammer might work because of the good run he had, but Pianeta and Ngannou I personally don't see.

 

Yep, good point. Sorry, it’s just become hard to see Johnson as anything other than a trial horse in recent years - which is a shame as he was a good operator in his prime

 

So you agree then, that someone can come into an event less than they should, where a rematch could be an opportunity for them to rectify a wrong, just you personally don't want rematches in those instances
Each to their own

 

1. Wladimir
2. Wilder 2
3. Wilder 3
4. Whyte
5. Chisora 2
6. Chisora 1
7. Chisora 3
8. Cunningham
9. Wallin
10. Hammer

So many big fights missed out on going on a 3 year hiatus after the Wladimir win and then wasting time in pointless fights vs Wilder 3, Chisora 3, Ngannou.

And yes I am calling Wilder 3 pointless because mostly everyone thought Fury got robbed in the 1st fight and the domination of the 2nd fight should've ended that series.

More top 10 ranked Heavyweights should've had title shots alot sooner.

 

Douglas had even worse things going on for him, but he beat that ass.

 

I think you could make a good debate about it
Both Fury and Joshua beat Wladimir at a similar sort of time and smaller, older Usyk beat both
Some claim Fury to be one of the longest reining lineal champions and Joshua won all 3 titles in separate fights that Fury vacated and Wladimir defended previously
I think it could be debatable

 

Klitschko - 2015
Wilder 2 - 2020
Chisora 2 - 2015
Cunningham - 2013
Whyte - 2022

Fury will have some historical significance for ending the Klitschko reign but I can see his resume aging like milk. I really hadn’t realised that he peaked a decade ago.
