    Tyson fury is a damn enigma he's fat outta shape looks uncoordinated doesn't have power but is slick and can box your ears off the Klitchsko fight was one of the worst I've ever seen entertainment wise but at the end of the day Fury clowned him he clowned Wilder also who got saved by the knockdown to get that dubious draw. A real character but gotta respect em

    That's why you're trapped in the hinterlands between being a un-PC a-hole and an SJW.:sisi1

    Thing is, that slickness was a late-career development. Watch the Cunningham fight, or any of his early domestic UK outings, and he was a big clumsy buffoon who more or less used his bulk in the clinch and decent left hand to jab-and-grab his way to victory. This is the same guy that became a boxing meme for uppercutting himself in the face long before he achieved international acclaim.

    He really began to sharpen up his game around the Chisora rematch, and by the Klitschko encounter a year later he was in full mastery of the 'pot shot and dance around' routine. Before that period, however? Slick as dry loofah. :ohno

    Fair play to @IntentionalButt for following through on his promise.

    Expected a ‘hat’ made of gingerbread or something, haha.

    Don’t always agree with your scores, but respect the follow-through here.

    May-Pac was worse due to the years of hype and price.

    So 4 years ago Tyson Fury landed 86 punches in 12 rounds against a washed up 40 year old Wladimir who only landed 50 punches? Running for 12 rounds against a old has been isn't exactly out boxing anybody. That was clearly the worse heavyweight title fight in history.

    He did outbox Klitschko. You can argue that he was only able to do because Wlad allowed him to, but...that still amounts to him doing the deed.

    This fight was tainted by having no rematch. Twice the rematch was set up, first was a none existent Fury injury(was posting videos of him jumping around on social media, during the supposed injury), not sure what second pull out was about.

    I have to disagree about this fight being the worst HW champion fight. Wlad-Ibragimov was .... I have to dig deep to come up with words to describe it...pitiful, excruciating, disgraceful, abominable....all of them actually. The memory of them hitting each other's jab is like bleach poured on my brain.

    Whereas Fury-Wlad was merely frustrating. You wanted to scream Wlad just hit the fat blob but Fury wouldn't let him.
