    "Which official would have let that continue with the state of his eye."

    Fury's doctor from the Wallin fight!

    But seriously, if a fight is in the balance and it ends on a vehemently protested doctor's stoppage, there's always a question mark surrounding the win.

    Vianello-Rice was an interesting case study of the cut stoppage rules:

    I agree that he is elite in this poor heavyweight generation, however he lost to big fat John McDermott and barely scraped past a debutant in his last bout so I wouldn’t say he is a shoe in for the hall of fame by any stretch.

    I can confirm that no tears were shed in my recent back and forth. If I hear BS I’m going to call it out and that guy is full of it.

    Good posts from redbeard7 and Wig. I liked what Wig said about ad populous fallacy. So true. Amazing how people do that on a boxing message board. Gotta wonder what motivates these people.

    A lot of ‘new members’ suddenly popping up backing posters who barely receive one like on all their posts between them. Intriguing.

    We all know what’s going on here, it’s obvious who the multi poster is.

    Anyone can pick a specific performance out and then use that as a reason why "X" would've beaten "X"

    The Fury of Wilder 2 would've leathered the Lennox of McCall, Rahman and Vitali. Likewise other versions of Lennox when he was "on it" would've spanked the version of Fury that showed up against Ngannou.

    Surprised your even using the Vitali win as an example because he was very fortunate that night.

    I was using the poster’s same logic against him. I’m not sure he would have, styles make fights and Lewis imo would have been all wrong for Fury. Too strong, technical, and powerful.

    The Vitali performance is not a black marker against Lewis. He was past his best and got in there with a world class heavyweight, going toe to toe with him and winning by a doctor’s stoppage.

    When comparing head to heads it’s important to consider resumes and overall skill sets. Lewis showed more against better opponents than Fury has, and never backed down from a challenge.

    some of these new posters look like AI bots the way they refer to specific bits of posts...

    I think you need to be addicted to the snake oil to vote Fury in this one.

    Its actually a very good fight, most would favour Lewis, but i dont see an early blowout, like Lewis did to other big men. Fury would give it a good go.

    On his best night I'd go Fury on points.

    But overall rating? Lewis by a mile.

    I followed Lewis throughout his career and I've followed Fury throughout his. I wouldn't hesitate to back Lewis on points or a late TKO.

    At the end of his career when he was past his best. Fury meanwhile ducked the Wlad rematch and failed for PEDs. He then avoided Usyk for an entire year to fight a trilogy with Chisora and fight a guy who had never boxed professionally before.
