    Fury himself cant hide the shame on his face. He knows he’s fooked everything up and is fully getting the blame from everyone other than his extreme sycophants.

    I believe a case can be made that Post Wilder fights, his reign has been sub par. This revolves back around to when people were saying he’s better than Ali or other all time great champions. The thing about those guys is by now, they would’ve fought everyone Fury hasn’t.

    He`s acting like a delusional mad man, backing out of a legacy fight because of his ego and has only only one decent name among his few title defenses a man he had already beat.

    No there's far worse champs... even in recent times you've got jokers like Martin

    I will agree that relative to his (fading) popularity, his 3+ years as WBC champ has been exceptionally poor. Yes, long stretches of Wilder's WBC reign was also poor, but he wasn't the draw Fury was at the peak of his powers last December

    A great trilogy match with Wilder... that almost never happened; a Whyte mandatory defence that involved treating Whyte poorly and a PPV sparring match against Chisora, isn't great. Add to this 2 failed AJ negotiations and 2 failed Usyk negotiations and it's pretty poor

    Fury would've been happier if he relinquished his WBC belt last summer and fought exhibitions. But tbh I don't care what he does lol

    Worst of all time? Come on, not THAT bad. However no one except his fan boys (are there any left?) can place him in a top 10 HW list.

    Literally impossible in a world that had Buster Douglas as champ

    As a boxer?
    No where near.
    As a man?
    Quite possibly

    There’s a better case for him being the best HW champ of all time than being the worst lmao.

    Certainly not the worst, but why when he beat Wilder for the third time did he not retire like he said he would, instead he has fleeced and conned the fans with his BS fights with Whyte and Chisora, and now he wants to do the same again instead of facing people with a pulse.
    He had the opportunity to become undisputed and couldn't hack it and will be remembered for it, i used to like fury but the way he has conducted himself lately i just refuse now to tune in to any of his fights anymore after this farce, fighting man my left bollock.
    Big shithouse dosser that he is now.

    I don't know, but the dude on the left side of that youtube video you posted is horrendous looking. Looks like some alien bug from another planet.

    H2H he's still a nightmare matchup for any HW in history, including your beloved 67 Ali.

    Legacy wise, he is one of the all time weakest, most disappointing champions ever.

    Somewhere in between Bruce Seldon and Marvin Heart. Certainly among the top 5 most worstest

    Wilder was 5 times the champion as Fury ever could hope to be.

    Even now, wilder is widely still regarded as the Peoples Champion.
    The same won't be said for Fury. Once he's gone he will quickly be forgotten in the sands of time
