    And that's exactly what I said. People doubted Ali was too small and too chinny for Liston.

    No one now thinks Furys chin or size aren't enough to handle Wlad. Everyone knows hes way too clumsy and unskilled. Ali was considered HIGHLY skilled going into the Liston fight. Fury isn't.

    Lets compare a great like Ali to a nobody like Fury.

    Great job.

    it is thought by some he took a dive in both fights. we will never know. think what you like. supposedly he had a life long aversion to needles. couple of weeks or so before his death he said he was about to tell the truth to the media about the fights. then he was found dead with a needle in his arm.

    I would love Fury to win and retire Wlad.. But in truth I think one of 2 things will happen - Fury gets absolutely annihilated and doesn't reach the 8th round (being generous)... Or the fight gets called off through "injury" by either guy. Between the absurd purse bid fiasco and the way both guys have been acting, I just get the feeling the fight is going to get pulled.

    But once again, that's not what was being said.

    He said the ring experiences have been similar, but he didn't mention anything about the standard of opponent that they both faced, just that both had got back up from knock downs to win the fights.

    Your mind is obviously so corrupted against Fury, that you can't actually see any sort of reasoned thread about the guy without you frothing at the mouth and getting mad, all reason flying out of the window

    Yes, they are not the same, but certain parts of them are similar, nobody is saying they are completely the same, but you just wont read it.

    I asked before, does that mean the thread is only pointing that Fury is underdog and it'd be a big upset if he wins? If so, It's a completely pointless, meaningless thread. We all know that anyways.
