Tyson Fury > Wlad Klitschko

I mean… wanna bring up bad performances like Sultan’s Austin fight???? Ok… what happened with Fury against Wallin??? How about against that MMA fighter with a 0-0-0 boxing record who Joshua almost ****ing killed in a round and a half???

I guess all pro fighters have off nights huh?!

 

I think aj fought the more motivated vlad, even though he was a year older.

 

Very few on here think that Vitali is an ATG.

 

Fury beating Wlad was a great example of timing in boxing. Young fresh contender beats ageing champion who is ready to be dethroned. Style wise Fury may have always gave Wlad problems but the timing of this fight and circumstances leading up to it were everything.
Prime Wlad beats Fury IMO.

 

This ain’t it.

It could have been, but he didnt take the rematch and retired for several years in what was likely his prime, didnt fight AJ when it mattered, then pissed around and waited too long for the Usyk fight.

I wont make character judgements or question the validity of his mental health issues that caused his first retirement…

…but I will look at the facts and how things turned out.. he had a good career, but a lot more missed potential than fulfilled…and legacy wise, he ain’t carrying Wlad’s jock strap.

When do yall think we will see another heavyweight as big as Fury with his skill set and fleet of foot again?

 

Imagine how bad Fury’s career must be: his supporters have to praise him for running scared from Joshua as he has so little to be praised for.

 

I think you’re too young for this subject kid. Here’s a thread comparing Wlad’s legacy to Holmes’ 12 years ago:

https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/contrast-holmes-reign-with-klitschkos.485445/

And this was before Wlad’s wins over Povetkin, Pulev and Jennings.

 

Wlad reigned for more than a decade. Fury didn't reign at all.

 

I guess he would rank similarly to Fury and Joshua. A guy who was easily recognized as one of the two best during a long period of time, but he was never really solidified as #1. The issue for him, just like Wlad, is they were brothers holding #1 and #2 for a whole era and never fought each other. I see him as an ATG, just not a high ranking one

though I may be in the few

 

This pretty much sums it up.

But in the spirit of this thread I'd like to just point out that Biden was a far greater U.S. president than FDR. While Biden instigated some investments in semiconductors and electric vehicles, FDR never did anything much related to semiconductors and electric vehicles.

 

He's reigned with an iron jaw at the local pie shop though.
