Anyone else enjoy Fury's 1 year reign more than Klitschko's 10 year reign?

    It was much more eventful and he didn't even have a defense.

    The best thing Klitschko did was to get called a dick head by David Haye

    You mean you wished to see a HW division without a single fight between top guys whatsoever for 10 years?

    At least he fought the best guys in his decade reign and even at 40 he's more balls in his pinkie than Wilder's whole body.

    Tyson Fury's press conferences was a lot more entertaining than any of Klitschko's fights.

    For a casual fan or a kindergarten student, sure they were.

    Fury didn't do anything but rob the fans of about three Klitschko fights, holding the belt hostage and keeping an ATG heavyweight out of commission with him, while he wanked off. Think about it. We might have seen Klitschko vs Fury 2, Klitschko vs Joshua, and Klitschko vs Ortiz by now. The division is heating up and I've got no patience for these sidelining fools who never fight.

    He barely won in a very boring fight and never defended the title once

    More like fiasco or waste of time

    Well if you actually do think about it and Fury hadn't beaten Klitschko, we would've seen maybe Klitschko v Glazkov being that he was next in line and that would've probably been about it given Klitschko's activity levels over the years. And then of course Ruslan Chagev might have been next up for the WBA.

    A final eliminator would've taken place between Charles Martin and Steve Cunningham for the next IBF crown for the fight after that. Joshua or Ortiz wouldn't have got a look in by this point because for Klitschko the goal was to unify and with 3 belts he had a mandatory at least twice a year and we know Wilder wouldn't have bothered yet.

    Damn you Tyson Fury for taking the titles and robbing us of the mouth watering wars Klitschko v Glazkov, Klitschko v Chagev II and Klitschko v Steve Cunningham or Charles Martin. DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Fury was an absolute joke and disgrace to the sport. His brief, winless stay at the top will be remembered with only derision.
