    Best two fighters he faced beat him, shall we just mark that up to a strange coincidence? Getting a hole punched in your face, nor quitting counts as losing by ‘injury’.

    That's your opinion, fool. Well ahead on the cards vs Byrd and lost on a cut while ahead on the cards in the other. You can claim tko6 as legit but the sanctioning body ordered an immediate rematch which Lewis also offered. A very rare occurrence. And who is Eternal Champion Emeritus? Your boy who quit the day before stripping or Vitali?

    This thread sums up really why boxers don’t engage with fans on forums

    Gypsy Fatboy says he's fighting Big Baby Roids next or at least Trevor Bryan ... but in secret his team is searching the planet for a full time Cab Driver, Cable TV Installer or Walmart Cart Pusher with a nice Boxing Record fighting other Bums ... they also must be Feather Fisted and Hit the Canvas many times in fights with other Cab Drivers!!

    Enjoy, this Epic Fight ... they'll push it into October or November for sure since Fury needs time to relax and clean out all the All You Can Eat Buffets and then hang out at all the Pubs he can find so he can down loads of Brew while bragging about how great he is!!

    Lineal HW champ, undefeated for 11 years. Facts.

    To be honest you seem like the sort who if Ali beat Foreman today you'd say 'Well Foreman was overrated anyway, his only good win was that midget Frazier who's only good win was a rusty Ali coming back from a long lay off' or if Leonard beat Hearns today 'Premature stoppage and Hearns was probably weight drained anyway, fraud Leonard strikes again'.

    He was old, slow, had no reflexes and looked bad vs C minus Jennings. Fact.
    He also looked horrible in sparring sessions vs a Muy Thai fighter at the time.
    Laws of nature do apply to Wladimir. Fact.
    Even though he was dominating for 11 years in a row at some point he started declining.

    He isn`t something special. He was well managed. He fought Klitschko in the right time for him. Huge props for that win, but everyone who is not biased knows that was way too out of prime Klitschko. If Klitschko was 37 years old he would have stopped Fury without a doubt.
    Klitschko speed was gone, his cardio was gone, his workrate was gone, and most importantly his footwork, reflexes and jab were gone, also he lacks his killing instinct anymore. He doesn`t know when to trigger the pull anymore. We see that in Pulev fight, when he left Pulev recover that first round, where he pretty much was done. He didn`t pay there. We see that in Jennings fight, he didn`t pay there as well, but it happens againt Fury and Joshua.
    Klitschko probably underestimate Fury and pay the price as well. His tactics was really bad.
    But still the so call "Greatest" run out from the Klitschko rematch and pull all the s*** excuses in the world.
    He was very silent there, and when he return he start talking big again.
    It`s dumb to talk against retired people. Anyway Fury non-stop doing this.
    How many title defence that guy have ?
    Fury is facing only crap opponent, unless he is fighting for the title. Zero challenge himself, zero train to establish legacy, just go for title fights that brings a lot of money and he is going to there by the safest route possible.
    You don`t become Greatest in the era by that way.
    As much as i don`t like Dillian Whyte, the dude atleast fight living persons, unlike Wilder and Fury.
    And when you constantly not once in a 5 years fight against top contenders, someone will shown to challenge you with the right skill and motivation.
    This is what has happen to Joshua and Klitschko. If you do that constantly at the end some young lion will shown and will be a lot bigger motivation than yours and even if he is a lesser fighter, he still can WIN.

    I didn`t see anything special with Fury to be fair. He is a big guy with good reflexes and speed, but he has limited power, his chin is questionable, hiss workrate sucks so much, he is more interesting with the sh** he is doing before the fight, but in the fight he is boring as hell to me.
    I don`t like Wilder as well, but there is a huge chance that Wilder stop him in that second fight. And then we will see what Fury will be talking.
    And i still favor Joshua against him.
