    How about another voting option? As in: I don't think he is or isn't an ATG? Cause right now, that is how I feel about it!

    I don`t rate Fury that much at all, he`s just pretty useful in the ring and hugs a lot, good at times during fights but nothing special.

    What you are describing here is not loyalty. Loyalty is not about following someone/something even though you clearly know said person/thing is corrupt. Loyalty is when you know you are outnumbered and maybe even experience hardships as a result of your devotion, but you know in your heart you are doing the right thing, and your conscience is clear because you have no moral objections to the thing or person you follow.

    As soon as you say something like you just said (basically: "I know he is corrupt, but hey, what can I do, I'm still a fan"), that's not loyalty anymore. That's fanaticism, blind faith, moral dishonesty, cult following etc.

    Wilder and Klitschko. Klitschko wasn’t that old and Wilder is a beast like it or not.

    Klitschko was at his absolute worst, bored & unmotivated yet between them they managed to put on the absolute worst HW Title fight in the history of the sport. It was a travestty that either of them owned a Title & a belt at the end of it

    Wilder is the most overprotected, overhyped fraud I’ve ever seen and I go back to the 50s!
    Wilders record is a catalogue of bums, tomatoe cans, white collar boxers & club fighters the majority of which aren’t even in the top 300 Heavies. Wilder hasn’t beaten a single decent Heavyweight in his whole career and don’t come at me with Ortiz who was on heart meds, is 40+ years old and was advised by his Dr NOT TO FIGHT !

    So whose Fury beaten, no one

    Yeah, a bit overstated but true.

    I have deep respect for the fighters who have the courage to take the hard challenges of their careers instead of going safe.

    Im picking Usyk, but it will be close and competitive IMO.
