    Good post mate and it is now pointless apart from the millions of Saudi loot.

    fair assessment, it’s not that I think he can’t be questioned just at feel like these days it gos a bit far “no good, bum etc”. But defo a lot of question marks alongside the great achievements and talents

    ZZ done to Wilder in a few minutes what it took Fury two fights to do. Plus he faceplanted the man who Fury himself waxed lyrical about as being the man of the divsion (Joyce).

    So why did Fury make a big thing about how in shape Ustinov was then? Why didn't Fury just give family reasons and not bring that up? Riddle me that.

    My thoughts too. I always suspected that Fury may not even be the best of the UK bunch. That's still up for debate.

    I don't really rate Wilder, never have

    But Fury beating a protected champion in his own backyard various times is a good achievement

    And use context when talking about the Wilder who fought Zhang

    A shell of his former bravado type character

    Wilder hardly tried in his final two fights

    If you care enough you will find them yourself. It was a fairly big thing at the time not something most forget about. Of the top of my head it was along the lines of iv being stitched up here he is in shape then he pulled out the fight. It was 100%a duck, there may have been reasons behind the duck but it was most definitely that. I find it hard to believe that you didn't know about this but did know apparant probo ms in his private life.

    eh? His uncle died. How could anybody not know that? Are you suggesting that a quote about a bloke being in shape, probably a quip by Fury, holds the same weight and would resonate in the mind for a decade? Good grief mate not sure why you got your back up you touchy so and so ffs lol

    His uncle dying at the time was far less commonly known. And he didn't pull out after he died, he pulled out after meeting him and saying he was being stitched up.
    Like I said I don't believe you knew about one instance here and not the other.

    He’s just lying to himself, or just started watching recently.

    Fury definitely has it easy when it comes to the huge Nandrolone question mark hanging over the wins against Hammer and Klitschko. Practically been given a free pass compared to Canelo who, to this day is still referred to as Clenelo on these boards.

    Beating a protected manufactured bloke who has poor boxing skills is a good achievement? The GOAT, everybody.

    Not commonly known? Lmfao Queensbury literally released a statement on the day saying hughie was in grave condition and that’s why he wasn’t boxing because his head wasn’t in the game

    That's not what I said, I see reading may not be your strong point and possibly the root cause of your misunderstanding. I said LESS commonly known than the "he's in shape, I'm being stitched up" given that he said it on a public platform for all to hear during the press conference.
