Fury shouldn't be ranked. He retired. Now he's talking about a comeback. When you retire you go to the back of the line while active fighters move up.
Stiverne's best win is Arreola or Austin Arreola's best win is McCline or Mitchell Wilder's best win is Harrison or Liakhovic Jennings' best win is Liakhovic Perez's best win is Abdusalamov Chisora's best win is Scott or Williams. Charr's best win it Bakhtov or Bidenko Fury's best win is Chisora, Johnson or Cunningham Of those seven fighter above Fury in the WBC rankings the only win on any of their resumes that would justify putting one of them above him is Stiverne's win over Arreola. The only three of them to have a stronger resume than Fury on the basis of quality of opposition faced are Arreola - who has fought Adamek and Vitali - Chisora - who has fought Helenius, Vitali and Haye - and Charr - who fought Vitali.
Excelent post! Fury is WAY under rated. Hs not the most skilled heavy but he tries to stay busy and tries to get decent fighters. He has good stamina and moves well and also punches in combinations and is good inside. Everyone is now raving about Stiverne but hes already 35 and has been stopped by someone even David Tua beat and held to a draw by another journeyman! He's a heavyweight version of Berto. Adamek beat up Arreola and Cunningham should have got the decision against Adamek. Fury also gets **** about his chin. Fury is yet to fight for the title, he's still a contender. What would you say of a heavyweight contender if he was dropped and nearly KO'ed by a fighter who was 180lb and dropped by another fighter who was 195lb and got a gift decision? Other than the big weight differences, this is very similar to Furys career so far right? Fury was dropped by a man who weighed 210lb and was ripped, no fat at that weight. Another man of 235lb. Is his chin better or worse than the example above? Surely if its heavier men its at least not any worse right? Well that was Cassius Clays chin! If Cassius Clay can look so weak against such light fighters and go on to have a great career against other great fighters like Frazier and Foreman, at least Fury has a chance to have a respectable career with the fat slobs around today!
so retiring via twitter joke? he has fought light years ahead in competition than Wilder and somehow he is ranked #3. what a joke
Boxing is alive in Europe, people who are saying boxing is dying is living in America, which clearly has shown more interest in freakshows like the MMA and UFC
You do realise that Fury has already beaten Chisora? Chisora was scheduled to fight Wlad but Wlad pulled out twice, so Fury gave him his first loss instead. atsch Wilder has just fought someone that Fury beat in his 16th fight. Its taken Wilder 30 fights to get to that level of opponent:good
who has chisora beaten? he has no power, and has won three british stoppages in a row. kinda like fighting devon alexander or cory spinks in st louis. no chance you'll win.
wilder beat that clown far easier than did fury. they are both hype jobs though. both will be forgotten soon enough.
Fury protected?lol: Haye was the biggest fight of Walds career and Fury ran him into retirment as a 20 fight prospect.
