Fury's legacy is about on par with that of Andy Ruiz's at this point

    I occasionally wander over to the general forum to see what’s going and see people like yourself, member for just over a month with 720 posts (though I’m assuming you’ve been here much longer) posting things for click bait and trolling.

    Andys Win is better than Furys Win imo - alot of people expected Fury to beat Wilder. Also AJ is and always has been a superior fighter to Wilder.

    But id say Furys resume is better than Andys after their best wins.

    Also, Fury would beat Ruiz comfortably as styles make fights

    I think you are just missing the logic and strategies that are the foundation of this sport....Maybe look into curling:cheer::jump:

    On paper, I agree

    But it's the way they did it - Ruiz beating AJ was as much a result of AJ getting careless and overconfident, p*** poor recuperative abilities and general deer-in-the-headlights style of fighting when the chips are down as it was anything Ruiz did, Ruiz after pulling out the unexpected result regressed, and came into the rematch in diabolical condition and got thoroughly outboxed

    Fury beat Klitschko in a snoozer but that was the game plan that worked - Fury wasn't about to get into a firefight with Wlad because that would have only gone one way. Pulled out the unexpected draw (win, in reality) against Wilder the first time, and improved ten-fold on his performance in the rematch

    Add in the eye test and the intangibles, and there's no comparison for me personally

    I agree. Fury is overrated. Wilder was what? Last time I checked Ortiz who is 100 years old was beating the crap out of Wilder until getting caught.
    Fury looked horrible vs Otto and now he's legendary?
    So he beat An almost FORTY year old Wlad. It wasn't exactly breathtaking. And I'm quite sure everyone is going to try to tell me Wlad was close to his prime at 40? Sure keep telling yourself that.
