    This.
    Wallin, who is hardly in top 50 is on the same level as the big 3 pretty much.

    Great point, imagine what Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson, Bowe and a list of others would have done to Wallin.

    Fury gets dragged the distance and struggled in patches and Fury is number 1 with a lot of people.

    Mostly the belts are pretty much BS.
    But the 3 Recognized Heavies are

    Wilder
    Fury
    Joshua

    So technically you are correct.
    But You can still figuratively **** off.

    Relax, The man has never lost his belt in the Ring. & truthfully won the 1st match.
    Not reality but truthfully he should have that strap.

    Truthfully ? what does that mean ? Sticking your tongue out and raising your arms, flickering 5.12 punches a round while getting planted twice hard ?

    One more time for the slow upstairs.....the fight was a DRAW no matter how you hysterically try to convince the History books that is was a "win"

    Holyfield /Lewis was a draw......Tomatoecancrusher/Redhead was a draw.....you dig ?

    Wilder is way more skilled then it looks. Just because something looks odd doesnt make it bad by nature.
    Mayweathers shoulder roll also looks stupid but its yet effective.

    Wlad was 40 years old FFS and still Wilder refused to fight him as he was offered the fight before Fury.

    To add to your point. The dude is an athletic 6`7 220lbs, freakish power and most importantly has that mental make up to be a fighter. How many people are walking around that fit this? Not many and those that do are playing sports at a high level. People are idiots. DW is not just some random dude who's gotten lucky. That dude is special.

    Antonio Brown is a stiff. He cant even do a rythmic end zone dance celebration. He's awful. And James Harden is a goofy guy. Not at all the fighter type. But the other two guys originally mentioned could probably fight.

    Lewis had his Mavrovic, Holyfield almost got wasted by a crack fiend, Bowe had to low blow Coetzer into submission and couldn't figure out Tubbs... and Tyson... well, Tyson.

    Every great heavy has their bad day. Ali, Johnson, Marciano, Louis... you name them and I will name the fight.

    All smoke and mirrors, Fury wasn’t even 30 percent when he fought Wilder and he was clowning around like the typical low IQ simpleton that he is.

    Now that's one idiotic way of taking your mindless hatred further. :lol: He has insane power, why is that too difficult to digest?. He's not the first fighter that fully relied on power either.
