    YDKSAB.

    Nothing

    Now please go to your knitting forum where your theory actually holds weight.
    Yes....women don't knit as well as they used to.

    But even an oaf like Lucas Browne would be the HW Champion of every pre 70s era

    Longevity is meaningless vs midget fat bums.

    If HW BOXING IS DEAD TO U, THAN LOG OFF.

    ALI would be Hayed if he were fighting today.

    He'd be the Undisputed CW Champ for sure, but as soon as he'd step to Wlad, he'd be ropeadoping himself in Allah's back yard

    haye is better than an 80 year old Parkinsonians victim, no matter how much standards have dropped.

    but nice of you to subconsciously acknowledge that standards have dropped immensely.

    George Foreman would shatter Fury's glass jaw, just like he did Moorer's

    I'd pick Lewis at age 49 to beat Fury.

    Vitali would almost certainly do it.


    I would put some dough on Larry Holmes to do it.

    Maybe the Ali of Berbick.

    And I wouldn't rule out a 39 year old Mongoose.

    I'd definitely bet on a 39 year-old Big George.


    Yes.

    For a lot of reasons.

    I have him in my top 10.

    :D

    Don't think so, Rummy.

    Lennox was 49 last year, and out of the ring for 12 years.

    Low blow, BE.

    Your list was reasonably sound up till Sonny.

    Dude was dead at 39.

    Now, however poorly you think of the little brother, you just can't have him losin' to a cadaver.

    Wlad deserves a lot credit for beating a guy who loses to almost every shot 39plus fighter in history:rofl:nut:patsch

    I have to say, as a Wlad fan, I a little bemused as to why Suzie tossed out that question. :huh

    Fury is a lot better than given credit for.

    Win, lose or draw, Wlad is in for the toughest fight of his career.

    Who has old Foreman looked good against at age 39+? He looked horrid. He'd get destroyed by Fury.

    Regarding the original question of the thread: Wlad doesn't deserve any special credit for beating Fury. Just another random contender. Just like Pulev and others before him.
