    5 year reign.
    10 straight defenses.
    Highest KO % of any HW champion in history.

    May be you should just stick to baseball and hockey

    As a 280lb, 6ft9in behemoth boxer with a great skill set, he IS the worst HW champ. Afraid of a 220lb 'middleweight'. Shame of Duckson Fury.

    :lol: Ok... I guess his **** level of comp means nothing. But maybe I'm just not as easily impressed as you are. Andre Berto must be one of the best WW's as well, since he had 5 defenses and two reigns. Good on you kiddo!

    At least the god who walked the earth Charles Martin took a risk and fought AJ, Fury is a plain ducker so that makes him the worst and the unfighting'est' champion of all time.

    Worst as in least talented, probably not.

    Worst as in the biggest dosser, definitely.

    You're right, the shopworn carcasses of Dilian Whyte and Derrek 3x Chisora were far more impressive

    The video is asking if fury is one of the worst REIGNING heavyweight champions which would rule out guys like Ruiz/Martin and Douglas as they lost the title in their first defence. As a reigning champion he has to be up there with the worst based on his inactivity and inability or unwillingness to make the big fights. As a man there is no question that he is a lying hypocritical scumbag

    Probably character-wise one of the worst champions ever...

    It depends.

    In terms of talent/skills: of course not, far from it. The guy is insanely talented in many aspects of fighting.
    In terms of resume: granted, it's paper thin - only fought two of the current top 10 guys.
    In terms of fanbase/hype: absolutely up there with the worst - only Tyson had a more rabid/fanatic/pugnacious fanbase.
    In terms of attitude/what influence he has on the division and boxing in general: easily the worst ever.

    I know I'm right, yet I didn't say that. Good try again though.

    Neither has anything to write home about. Wilder defended against garbage, Fury acting like a baby. I don't pick sides like most punks do.

    Nowhere near the worst , but as a fan of his heavyweight boxing prowess feel he's let a lot of Boxing fans down imo . No man is bigger than the sport and this weeks sensational newspaper headlines will be next week's fish & chip wrappers . The sport will move on . Good luck to the both of them .

    No.

    He’s absolutely avoiding Usyk as things stand, however.

    His resume as champ is thin, he only fought Wilder cause he had already stopped him, his reign has been dissappointing.
