That maybe true, that doesn't make 'level B fighters' elite in any way. When Wilder stepped up (Fury), he was beaten comfortably.
My simple answer to this thread is : Too many inactive fighters. Too many titles. Money/PPV. Boxing Politics (probably caused by the above).
The problem is the big fallas are so inactive it's becoming a joke. Fury has had 7 fights in 7 years.
Frank Bruno v Cotzee Sibson v Minter Sibson v John Collins. The last 2 weren't 'KO's' by definition from memory, but very impressive stoppages all...
I know it's down to personal opinion, but on which planet is Wilder seen as an elite fighter ? I have respect for anyone that chooses to get into...
Nigel Benn v Lou Gent is worthy of a mention. I don't think Benn was ever involved in a dull fight.
Wilder, elite. Really ?
I was at The Wembly Arena when Tony Sibson bt Mark Kaylor. Rival fans were fighting throughout, very unpleasant.
Both are 25% below their prime Definitely won't be paying to watch. One for the pub l reckon.
I’d imagine the 1980’s were up there. SRR, Hagler, Hearns, Duran, Curry etc. Then the emergence of Mike Tyson. I’m probably slightly biased,...
Lewis would be top dog, I’m sure. Fury would be competitive, based on his physical attributes alone. He would probably do ok in any era to be fair.
Very few avoid being stopped by a prime, focused Tyson.
Fury would do well in any era, purely due his physical size, no matter how skilled he is. Joshua would do ok, he would be competitive, without...
A fraud, in what way ? I’m not a fan of Joshua or Fury, by the way. Who exactly has AJ avoided though ? He has been overrated in the past, but...
Excellent. The first of Fury's 4 fights this year ! Ha ha
