    He was grossly overrated before he got pummelled by Ruiz, then It got cooled off. I remember some of AJ fans being certain that he'd beat Joe Louis and Ali on the same night, some was going nuts and having a temper tantrum whenever they saw someone claim that old Wlad would give him a competitive fight.

    Now, most are realistic about him.

    Not really, most people on this forum talk a lot of sh*t on him and don’t seem to give him a chance against anyone. I think wilder is the overrated one
    Also name a heavyweight that has accomplished so much in such a little amount of pro fights

    Sadly not, tons of people are actually defending wilders excuses and actually expect him to ko fury in the rematch, it’s ridiculous

    Probably neither overrated or underrated. It is what it is.
    He won the title, defended it against decent challengers, lost it, regained it.
    However, if he beats Fury it he will be seen as a great by some. Loses and he is in a difficult position. Lose the rematch and then he’s at a huge crossroad and could retire.

    Fury Vs AJ 1 - 2nd biggest selling fight in boxing history

    Fury Vs AJ 2 - biggest fight in boxing history (If AJ can make the first fight, a fight)

    NO.He doesn't choose the easy way, like Wilder's fake fights.People believe he is 2nd after Fury, for what overrating are you talking?!? You think he doesn't deserve the 2nd place?

    Going for the knockout against Wilder was the perfect strategy, but I don't know if Fury should always use that strategy against every opponent.

    There's nothing wrong with a dominant UD.

    Otto Wallin didn’t have that much trouble doing that. Fury hasn’t suddenly turned into George Foreman.
