Is Fury still in your top five heavies?

His legacy is built upon beating Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora in two trilogies while shouting he'd beat any man in history. The façade is gone. So he'll be lucky to hold onto a top 10 ranking let alone top 5.

 

Thou art not false, but thou art fickle, To those thyself so fondly sought; The tears that thou hast forced to trickle Are doubly bitter from that thought: ‘Tis this which breaks the heart thou grievest Too well thou lov’st – too soon thou leavest. The wholly false the heart despises, And spurns deceiver and deceit; But she who not a thought disguises, Whose love is as sincere as sweet, When she can change who loved so truly, It feels what mine has felt so newly. To dream of joy and wake to sorrow Is doom’d to all who love or live; And if, when conscious on the morrow, We scarce our fancy can forgive, That cheated us in slumber only, To leave the waking soul more lonely, What must they feel whom no false vision, But truest, tenderest passion warm’d? Sincere, but swift in sad transition; As if a dream alone had charm’d? Ah! sure such grief is fancy’s scheming, And all thy change can be but dreaming!

 

Are you currently smelling burnt toast despite not having made any?

 

Well he would kind of have to be considering how crap the division is right now. But he's not higher than Usyk or Joshua, and I'd put Zhang ahead of him as well.

 

Hmmm...maybe something like:

1. Usyk
2. Zhang
3. Joshua
4. Hrgovic
5. Ruiz Jr.
6. Joyce
7. Parker
8. Bakole
9. Wallin

The WBC boxers need their own ranking system. Let's start them at say, 10.
10. Fury
11. Wilder
12. Whyte
13. Ortiz
14. Sanchez
15. Makhmudov
16. Ajagba
17. Anderson

Maybe I am joking, but am I really? The WBC house of cards came tumbling down at the weekend...

 

We will see. Time show how it end.

It depends how You score that fight. All great fighters got worse performance and worse fight but here we talk about fighting even match with dude who is even not proper boxer yet.

For sure he dont deserve to be number 1 but that's smth we knew before fight with Francis. Top 5? I guess he still is in that area. Remeber that in top 10 ring magazine we got Wilder on top 2 (lol,) and Parker top 5...

Fury still better than this dudes. Problem with ratings is off course fact that You can have some place only because u avoid some name (Wilder Perfect example)

That's why we need Usyk vs Fury right now to end that story and leave the place for new generation and new story.

 

I just moved ahead of Tyson Fury according to ESB rankings.

 

I did too!! Do you want to fight me in Sudi Arabia for a bazillion dollars?

 

Fury is 35? Damn that’s news to me. I thought he was hitting near 40, but I guess doing drugs, depression and having a career that’s hard on you physically and mentally will do that.

I believe Ngannou is 37, but he looks way younger.

 

Keep that dirty Saudi money away from me! I prefer blood stained American currency!

...On second thought... send that contract!

 

Fury had a bad performance, but so had Zhang, Joshua, and Usyk.

You just never know which Tyson Fury shows up.

 

I agree but on top of that Zhang did perform bad against Forrest. Apparently he was sick but at the end of the day bottom line it was a bad performance. Against Hrgovic he was not the same dynamic force he was against Joyce either.

Usyk’s performance against Dubois was not that strong either. And Dubois is nowhere near World Title level. I think Ngannou destroys Dubois.

I think Ngannou is going to make more noise before he is done.

 

The whole division is crap, but Fury is still better than all of them. Zhang, Joyce and co are c level fighters. Wasn’t long ago when 6’1“ jerry Forrest was battering Zhang and the guy had won 2 out of his last 8 fights.
