    It seems unfair but Joshua's. Fury got their first but Joshua was less tested and was dealing with a Wlad more motivated than we had ever seen him, and got up off the floor on a huge stage to do it. Fury tricked and feinted round to round and won legitimately in Germany to end Wlad's streak but the fact of the win on paper was more exciting than the performance. Full credit but Joshua's was more dominant against a more motivated Wlad in a better fight overcoming more adversity. Not too much between them but Joshua's felt like a passing of the torch, he earned it the hard way.

    Listen to the man, he knows his ****.

    Watch Gypsy King display the skills and take special note, it's all position, posture, and patience. Fury basically beat him by taking up dangerous position while offering dangerous posture as if to say with his body language "Wlad if you step you will regret it" and when Wlad did step to the Gypsy King where did Tyson go? Twisted that's where. I don't mean the newfangled as to say drunk or some such, I mean actually twisted. Turned Wlad with an easy pivot, pop 'em with a short'n'stiff if ya like, and take a step back for to rinse and repeat.

    Wlad knew what's was going on. Had he put in more effort that's just more opportunity for Fury. He got shut down by a man bending at the waste and making faces at him because Wlad needed a half decent pivot game to keep up, and doesn't have one. He can't follow the pivot, he can't cut the pivot off, he just can't handle Tyson Fury's twist for ****.

    I'm gonna have to do a YT video with that fight cut up and put to Chubby Checker.

    Or ****, I just found this:

    Fury schooled the **** out of Wlad and AJ almost got ktfo. Sure the AJ-Wlad fight was way more entertaining but Fury dominated Wlad mentally and physically. AJ arguably got lucky.

    Fury completely befuddled Wlad, and this was a
    Wlad that was 18 title defenses in, with minimal
    chinks showing in the armor. He embarrassed him.

    Wlad was no longer the champion. Fury grabbed the
    torch. Wlad then basically retired and aged. He came
    back 2 years later and fought against Joshua on basically
    even terms but by then was too old to turn the clock back
    and lost.

    He looked better against Joshua because of the stylistic
    matchup, at no point in time did Joshua dominate
    because he couldn't. Fury dominated a better more
    active and younger version of Wlad. Fury's win was far more impressive and it's
    not even close.

    Wlad was shot when he fought Jennings, more shot when he fought fury and and even more shot when he fought joshua. Wlad was old , so I’m not impressed with fury and even less impressed with joshua

    That fight between Vlad and Fury is the most boring HW championship fight I have ever seen. I wasn't that impressed since Vlad's victories were because of his superior reach and height and his retreating style. Since Fury neutralized that I expected Vlad to have the trouble that he had. What impressed me about the Wilder fight is how the ref went out of his way to help Wilder.

    I'm a huge fan of the Furys.
    I like Tysons personality, and I have great appreciation for his ring performance.

    That said....the Klitschko fight was his absolute WORST performance of all of his notable fights, including his near defeat to Euro level contender McNugget.

    He just wasn't the WORST performer on the night.

    As for Wlad. No way to know 100%.

    The human psyche is as different from one person to another as is taste in women.
    For instance.....
    Probably 90% of men prefer a women 5'8 125lb with a hard round backside, firm breasts middling or better in size between 18-25 yrs.

    The other 10% might be divided into the (other) types. Old, fat, BBW, bags of bones...etc etc etc.

    Depending on how Wlad was dealing with the threat of losing his wife and newborn daughter at the hands of his own wife, depends on whether Furys worst performance ever or Wlads mental state were the cause of the change of the guard that night.
    If Wlad is not one of those minority of ppl who handle such extremely grave personal stress, it likely greatly affected his ability to perform even close to 100%.

    The Wlad who Joshua was up against was the same destroyer that Pulev got massacred by before losing interest after Kaya was newly born.

    I rate the Joshua war as a far better win than I do any of Wlads other 4 victors.

    If WK had employed the same aggressive ad lib style vs Fury he used vs Joshua I doubt Fury would have won. Fury knew it also. Joshua got lucky on the night but he was behind in the fight on any sane card.

    Joshua fought a grey-haired 41 year old who didn't fought in two years and nearly got KO'ed. Fury fought an active champion under 40 who didn't lose in 11 years.

    Fury fought a more confident W. Klitschko, and dominated him from beginning to end.

    Fury by far.

    Fury completely shut down Wlad, a version of Wlad who whilst on the slide was still winning.

    AJ's fight was more exciting but it was against a 41yo inactive Wlad.
