    Let's have a look at Fury's opponents in past 5 years:

    [url]Christian Hammer[/url]: Bum
    [url]Wladimir Klitschko[/url]: He was 39 years old. Shot. Scorecards were very close. Not a devastating win. For the rematch, Fury ducked Klitschko twice.
    [url]Sefer Seferi[/url]: Bum, not even in top 50.
    [url]Francesco Pianeta[/url]: Bum, still went the distance with Fury.
    [url]Deontay Wilder[/url]: Not a great boxer. And the result was a draw anyway.
    [url]Tom Schwarz[/url]: Bum
    [url]Otto Wallin[/url]: Bum, still went the distance with Fury and still wrecked Fury's eye. Think about it.
    [url]Deontay Wilder[/url]: Not a great boxer.

    As you see, the guy just had 2 eligible victories in past 5 years, but stil he is hyped like hell.

    A proper skilled boxer will destroy this hype job but I don't know when. It will probably be Andy Ruiz or Anthony Joshua.

    Do you have any logical objections to what I wrote above? Fury fought cherry picked bums for the past 5 years. He is still taking advantage of his win against Klitschko which was 5 years ago.

    Dethroned 2 kings? Klitschko was 39 years old, shot and he would lose to first proper opponent anyway. He retired after another match.

    Wilder was not a king. He also fought only bums in his entire career.

    He is not top 10 boxer but he is not a bum at all.


    Fury had fought vs Wilder in U.S not in U.K.
    Props for him that he did this. Now fighters prefer to be hometown fighters in important fights.

    This yes, with younger Klitschko anyone had considerably higher risk to loss and more problems.

    Yes, you're wrong. YDKSAB, that's obvious to everyone. And what you wrote isn't worth wasting my breath on.

    You clearly don't have a good eye for boxing, you don't process how skilled certain fighters are, and you frequently overrate how skilled you think skill less fighters are. You clearly have no idea what you're watching.

    If I don't have a good eye for boxing, then 90% percent of boxing fans and commentators don't have it too. because almost everybody was saying Dubois would win and that Joyce was the underdog, and also betting odds were against Joyce. Everybody said it was an upset win for Joyce afterwards.

    Most don't to be perfectly honest.

    As far as saying it was an upset. Not me, and not most of the people who know boxing. Anyone he followed his amateur career and had seen all of his pro fights, knew that Joyce was capable of boxing on a far higher level than he usually does. Newsflash, people having good chins and saying **** it, and fighting to the level of their opposition is a thing. Joyce does it all of the time. But when facing a genuine threat, they know when to turn it on, and put on a masterclass. That's what Joyce did, and that's exactly what I predicted Joyce would do months back. Most were picking against him off of his Terminator style, I picked him based off of his Lewison style. Because Joyce is an incredibly intelligent fighter and is one of the few who can do that.

    Are Klitschko and Wilder bums in your opinion?

    I used to think so too.

    It's important to recognize when you are wrong. Every now and then I wonder "Am I wrong?" "Reality does not match what I have in mind. Could I be wrong?"

    One day, thinking about fury being a bum I wondered this question. And the answer resulted to be "true". Since then, I dont think that he's a bum anymore. This guy can box. If I cannot understand it, maybe (no, not maybe, SURE) the problem is me.

    You can find negativity in everyone's wins, and that is what you are doing, Klitschko was not washed at all and Wilder is very good at setting up the right hand, he makes people comfortable with making mistakes by letting them work for a bit then capitalizes and Fury did well to not let Wilder set up the right hand and make Wilder uncomfortable and gave him no time to figure out his movements because he knew Wilder needs time and Fury knew that and come up with a gameplan because he's clever like that
