    The right answer is fury because he ended the champions run and in his own backyard but to say he dominated him is not a correct description of how the fight was, he did a job on him but he was evasive and frustrated him, yes he controlled the fight and dictated the tempo (slowed him down) but it wasn’t anything like dominating.
    that’s not to take anything away from the performance he did what he had to to win, to beat the champion in his own backyard on points is some achievement but he did it by using his feints to unsettle Klitschko not with an overwhelming barrage of punches that would be what I would call a domination.
    He did come out with possibly the best one liner in recent boxing history something like ‘believe me this klit is getting licked’

    I always thought Fury's was far more impressive, but then you realise that Wlad was afraid to throw in that fight, he was terrified of taking risks since hes been dominant for 10 years and the weight of expectation on him was huge fight after fight.

    In the AJ fight he might have been older but he came in terrific shape and the weight of expectation was off his shoulders, he was the underdog. He fought taking more risks than he has done since like 2005, he was willing to make it a dog fight and that version of Wlad was far more dangerous than the version in the Fury fight.

    They are probably similarly impressive.

    Still Fury is a better fighter than AJ.

    The fury vs Klit fight was the worst fight I have ever seen. The only answer is that Fury ran away from the rematch as fast as he could because he knew he had caught Klitschko at a time when his head was not right. It was not a great win for Fury it was a win for mma becuse it was so bad.

    Fury. Wlad was still king then, and Fury really put on a slick, highly skilled performance

    ——-leaning out, then quickly back in and landing his fast counterpunches—— Fury was moving extremely well, Especially given his size. Also he never got dropped

    Very stupid question. Which is better? A back and forth, passing of the torch, fight of the year? Or an ultra boring, I cannot rewatch it, snoozefest where the winner was on nandrolone. Hhhmmm, let me see...

    Not sure what victory people would say was more impressive - but I know which one was more exciting.

    I'd rather take a dump in my hand and lick it clean than have to watch Klitschko Vs Fury ever again.

    I pretty much answered the question in my first sentence - I don't know which would be considered more impressive.

    Doesn't prevent me from commenting on how watching Klitschko Vs Fury was the boxing equivalent of being waterboarded.

    Fury by far and away, no competition there.

    Fury vs Wlad was absolutely pathetic . One can’t fight ( fury ) and one didn’t ( wlad) .
    Joshua did it in style , but was exposed.

    At least the AJ fight was entertaining. The fury fight was awful and Wlad wasn’t even in the mindset to even fight. He was basically retired mentally already.

    I mean. A wine a win. But really nobody won that fight. It was so dreadful

    Fury beat a super champion away from home and was not touched in a anti climatic fight

    AJ went life and death at home, vs a slightly older former champion in a very exciting contest

    Definitely fury
