Wlad was nearly 40 years old and the fight sucked, Fury just did enough to eek out the majority of the rounds while being negative and spoiling as much as he could. Fury landed 7 punches per round to wlad's 4 per round. It was an appalling spectacle. Usyk put on a one sided masterclass against a young, prime opponent and threw more punches in the last round than Fury and Wlad combined to throw for several rounds in their fight.
No , i wouldn't say that. Manny followed up that loss with good wins against Bradley , Vargas and Lucas the Machine. Mayweather was prime enough that a loss with have been held against him. Even if he lost to Berto he wouldn't have gotten a pass for being old.
