    Tyson Fury didn't have to speedbag Wilder in the nuts to win his fight, so that victory is more impressive to me.

    Kovalev schooled Ward in the first fight and the second is just another Ward dirty tactics robbery.

    So Fury Tko 7

    There was no robbery in Fury-Wilder 2, just straight domination from Tyson Fury.

    Ward was losing his fight with Kovalev when several shots below the belt changed the complexity of the fight.

    By far Fury's win over Wilder was more impressive as well as legit.

    Kovalev is a way better scalp but Fury beat Wilder without controversy...

    Ward over Kovalev was better. Kovalev was significantly more skilled than Wilder.

    Andre Ward's two "wins" over Sergey Kovalev are a joke.

    The first one was a robbery and the second was won by TKO to the nuts. So many things wrong with that second fight, and why wasn't Sergey Kovalev given a count, if the referee somehow didn't even realise he was being battered to the nuts?

    It was absolutely ludicrous.

    Tyson Fury won both fights, clearly. At least the first one didn't go down as a loss, as much of a joke as the draw was.

    Fury!! By far. He never had to resort to illegal tactics and never had a paid off ref on his side.
