    “Not only am I big, but I’m tall, dark and handsome. I’m cool, calm and collected, super ***y,” insists Fury. “This guy has got no chance at all here. Let’s talk about talent and size, whatever you want to be. I’m the best fighter on the planet, including all weights. There’s not a man born from his mother who can beat Tyson Fury. I don’t care if he’s 7 foot or 3 foot tall. Steve Cunningham is in big trouble. Come April 20, this guy is getting knocked spark out.

    “I hope he and his trainer believe in magic, because he’s gonna need a lot of magic to beat me. Steve Cunningham and every Phil and Yankee combined couldn’t beat me. There’s not a man 200 lb. on the planet who can beat me, never mind you. I’m not coming here to play games, and I hope you’re not either. I’m coming here to fight, not to talk nonsense. You talk a good game, ‘I’m from Philly, I’m a tough guy gangster’.

    “Let’s be real here. Fighting is in my blood, in my veins, every generation. Let’s go back and see if yours can. I doubt it. Maybe you’re a one off. You’re not a heavyweight, for one, and I am. You are in serious trouble come April 20. I am going to hurt you. I hope you understand that. I hope your trainer understands that. I hope your wife understands that. I hope everyone understands that I mean business. I didn’t come to the U.S.A to play around and play tit-tat boxing. I came here to do demolition jobs to cruiserweights.”

    Don't exaggerate his best win is Beltran. I'm a big fan but he is just starting fighting guys his own size. You should've learned a lesson with Broner. And I'm a fan of Crawford. I wish him the best. Which should be a Pac fight.

    Incorrect. GGG holds two major belts (soon three) and has been on a winning KO streak for 5 years, defeating at least 3 former world champions (5 if you count interim champions Rubio and Ishida), and handing to many of his opponents their first KO/TKO loss. I'm afraid this is way more than Crawford's victory over Gamboa and Burns (although I admit Crawford has at least tried himself in two weight divisions).

    I wish Crawford the best too and like him but his incredibly unproven for the hype his recevied. Burns,beltran as decent wins in a very weak division where he enjoyed a big size advantage . Him against Gamboa was in fairness a welterweight against a featherweight. And the featherweight out boxed him for most of the fight

    His done nothing except fought no bodies at 140 so far and the yanks are in a rush to make him p4p top 5 already.

    Many times I have questioned their ratings with things like this.
    I thought it was terrible with the SMW ratings during the S6, they seemed to be wanting to make a new ring champ it looked to me.
    I have commented many times and this does not surprise me at all yet you have so many daft delusional fans who quote it as the bible of boxing because they say they are and think their ratings are something to behold.

    Consider with Wlad how many wins over top 10 fighters he has in the HW at this time, consider in his 6 fights leading to Fury he had beaten 5 undefeated HWs and now he is dropped from the ratings completely and Fury not given a mention.

    Makes no sense at all. In the other hand Crawford can break the top 10 from beating Ricky burns ffs.

    You would probably be interested at some of the old threads I did on their ratings.
    I agree Fury should be in the P4P with that win. Many other fighters go straight in after a good win and Fury has one of the best wins this year

    The point is: one win doesn't cut the mus**** for p4p rankings.

    On of the best wins of the year is an understatement . He has the best win of the year and maybe even the best of the decade

    Crawford is much more complete than Broner infact when both were at 135 I wanted Broner to stay away from Crawford because I knew he would beat him. BTW his best win is Gamboa not Beltran.

    This right here shows you have a clear agenda he didn't outbox him for most of the fight. Gamboa did well the first 3 rounds against Crawford who's a slow starter. After Crawford found his rhythm it was easy work.
