Fury is the # 1 ranked HW. Ruiz is #3 and his time as unified champ may not last longer than 6 months. Failure. Sam Peters was ranked #2 in the world in 2007. Thats as close as you get to being the #1. This Derrik Chisora level guy spent two years rated in the top 3 during 06 and 07 Derrick Chisora isn't good enough to enter the top 10 in this era.
Heeeeeeellll No it wasn't. Several of the guys who Tyson beat were still in the mix 5-10 years later in the 90s(considered a golden age) when they were far past shot. Frank Bruno, gave lennox Lewis hell and ended up winning a title. Larry Holmes schooled ray mercer and was a contender for another 7 years after Tyson beat him. Tucker went on a 3 year coke binge.came back with no legs and still have Lewis trouble 5 years after losing to Tyson. Tony tubbs arguably got robbed against Bowe. Tyrell Biggs gave Bowe hell and had him hurt badly years after getting the prime beat out of him by Tyson. Pinklon Thomas was NEVER knocked down again despite fighting almost every rising contender in the 90s when he was shot and addicted to heroin. Carl Williams gave a 1983 Larry holmes all he could handle.
His knee touched the canvas, some refs might have given it as a kd. Closest Vitali ever came to a count.
You can't matter of factly say the Povetkin is better than Tucker, Pinklon Thomas, Bonecrusher Smith, Bruno, Spinks even a 38 yo Holmes. He wouldn't be a big favorite with either. If he were to be a favorite at all.
He fell due to a punch and he struggled badly both before and after. His record at first glance looks clean, but then you examine it.
For me the record is clean...if the ref had even counted him for just 1 second it would have been a knock down.
Fool you need to stfu coz you know **** about mma and other pro sports. Fedor is considered the Goat HW Khabib is prob p4p #1 MMA fighter right now Loma p4p boxer Many top tennis players are from former soviet block Some of very best hockey players are russian.
Wasnt shot Wlad maybe not his absolute best but very close to it. But yeah he might beat AJ would not mlbe my pick thought
Soviet Union fell in 1991 the amature system is different then the pro's it takes time to build a pro system and besides Golota, Vitaly and Wladamir Klitschko, Maskaev, Tzyu, Koltenik, Valuev, Chagaev, Kobozev, Arbachakov, Grigorian, Gurov, Zolkin, Sinitsin, Shulz, Jirov, Dzinziruk and Arthur Abraham all fought in the 90's you are so far up Wilders butt I don't know why I bother but your ignorance is astonishing...
