Fury is the 3rd unavenged loss for Wlad. Problem for his legacy?

I would say no. The Purrity rematch didn't happen because Purrity refused to take the fight, Fury likewise refused to give him a rematch. The one that he might be culpable for is Sanders because the opportunity possibly could have been there for a instant rematch. Still I don't think you can hold that against him as he needed to rebuild after that devastating knockout loss and Sanders would soon be out of the HW title picture.

 

You seem awfully upset. Settle down son, you'll give yourself an ulcer.

 

he's an old demo troll, the current state of boxing very much upsets him, he hopes that it was return to the 70's when peds were legal and 5 countries compete in pro boxing

 

Lennox gets zero credit for avenging the McCall loss. Plain and simple he cherry picked a man in a very bad state.

 

Cherry picked? They were top two contenders who were mandated to fight for the vacant belt.

 

It would basically be the same as forcing Fury to fight Wlad now. Throwing in a man that's a mental mess with absolutely no will to fight into the ring for a championship fight. Still don't know how they managed to get away with that.

 

Hardly a cherry pick considering McCall was the champion. Lewis was delighted that he had some crack withdrawal mental breakdown.

 

Mccall wasn't the champion, fight was for vacant wbc title.

 

Max Baer lost to Braddock. Difference is Wladimir ranks much higher than Baer.

Muhammad Ali lost to Berbick. Difference is Wladimir was still champion at 39.

It's ultimately fodder for both extreme sides of the argument when debating Wladimir's greatness.

 

No this was few yrs after Bowe's duck of Lewis. McCall and Lewis fought for the vacant title after Tyson dropped it so he could fight Holyfield instead of his mandatory Lewis.

 

Purity and sanders were not avenged, obviously, for whatever reason. But. He did go on to rematch and thrash both Brewster and Peter

 

Mike Tyson never avenged a loss. Ever.
