    Damn Tyson Fury for beating Wladimir Klitschko last year. Damn him to hell!

    If Klitschko would've won, the next fight in line would have be Wladmir v 5ft 3 knockout artist then IBF mandatory Czar Glazkov. Then the highly anticipated rematch with WBA mandatory Ruslan Chagev (although at this time of year we would probably still have that juicy affair to look forward too).

    And think, his next fight after that would be against the IBF mandatory again which would've been decided by stunning prospect Charles Martin and exciting former Cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham.

    Sure, the WBC has seen Wilder fight the who-whos but we wouldn't have seen those epics for the WBA, WBO and IBF

    Instead what has Fury shaking up the division left us to look forward to at world level around the corner, when we could have had Dr Steelhammer's glorious reign would continue, rather than Fury winning it going on a year long binge than vacating?

    Klitschko- Joshua- ugh!
    Parker- Ruiz- ugh!
    Haye- Browne- ugh!
    The winners of those fights meeting- ugh!
    Fury coming back and fighting any of them- ugh!

    Tyson Fury beating Klitschko has been terrible for the Heavyweight division and it's long term outlook damage it will never recover from. Klitschko-Glazkov, Chagev II and Martin not happening is worse then Mayweather-Pacquiao not happening 5 years before it did.

    Fury in trouble with UKAD (again) and VADA
    Fury in trouble with mental issues.
    Fury vacating the belts

    Yeah. Just imagine if Fury hadn't beaten Klitschko. We wouldn't have gotten any of those things and instead we would've witness the thrilling Klitscko v Glazkov, would likely be weeks away from Klitschko v Chagev II, with Martin-Cunningham waiting in the wings for the winner, while Joshua and Parker would still be on their journeyman circuit for another few years

    I was really looking forward to Klitschko-Glazkov. It was building up to be the Thrilla in Vanilla....we lost a classic when that fight didn't come off.

    It wasn't Fury winning that robbed us of anything. It was his behaviour afterwards and the fact that after all the potentially great fights you mentioned happening, even if the winners of those face of, people still won't know who the definitive heavyweight champion is.

    That's never a good thing IMO.

    who is going to waste their time with Fury when he gets back so he can just pull out and fake injuries? Nobody is going to want to deal with him.

    The thing is though gorgeous, whether you believe that or not (you dont'), not of them would've beaten Klitschko. But Fury did :-D

    Probably the same blokes who was willing to fight Klitschko after he postponed and pulled out of fights with fake injuries. Those little rascals!!!

    And knowing who the definitive heavyweight champ was over the last few years with Klitschko was described by many as one of the worst Heavyweight divisions ever?

    I don't remember Wlad postponing a fight with a fake ankle injury when in reality he was out doing coke and drinking. Fury hasn't defended his belts in a year. When do Wlad ever do that? Fury tried to hold the division hostage then pulled this stunt when he knew he was going to get banned for the steroids. This has nothing to do with him being 'depressed'.

    I think the matchmaking would have been better than Bad News Brit implies. You probably see Klitschko vs Joshua or Klitschko vs Wilder in there at the very least.

    Fury robbed us of Wlad vs. Fury II held in his own backyard in Manchester! That's just inexcusable. Can anyone imagine Joe Louis or Max Schmeling ducking their fights claiming they're unmotivated and depressed (or plain lazy!)?

    Yeah, as a fan of boxing I sure love it when I don't get to see any fights for an entire year because some fat idiot is holding the division hostage because he's too unprofessional to do his job.
