    This is Fury's era having beaten the best man of the last era. One of the best of this era and will retire having beaten another best of this era who is also borderline GOAT'd cruiser although people will argue forever if Holyfield trumps Usyk or not. Personally I think Usyk is the GOAT'd cruiser.

    Utterly dominant when the time calls for it. A true Dark Knight. Batman he always was. You either die a hero or box long enough to see yourself become the villain.

    His trilogy with Wilder lines up next to Ali Frazier.

    His fighting heart and spirit matches that of Ali.

    A true born and bred fighting man who never says die.

    Fury won all his belts off reigning legit champions. Never gifted a belt. Never bought a belt. Never won vacant belts. All on away soil.

    Trilogy Holyfield Vs. Bowe must be ahead of the trilogy Fury Vs. Wilder watching from the point of view of a boxing historian.
    And if you don't believe me, take a poll with a vote :)

    Imagine comparing that sloppy mess of a trilogy to Ali v Fraser.

    Also wilder was never a legit champion, he was a vacant belt bully the exact same as Joshua yet he never unified or defended against anybody worth a toss

    Whoever wins it all. That hasn't happened yet.

    They still have a couple years. The Post-Wlad era began at the end of 2015.

    Technically it's Fury, he dethroned the king.............long live the king. No matter how weak and disgraceful his reign is, it's still his

    Fury`s first two fights v Wilder did poor PPV buys compared to Logan Paul`s two matches v KSI.

    Teenage girls weren't used to stealing PPVs. Wilder-Fury II is listed as one of the most stolen PPVs in history.

    "According to VFT Solutions, which tracks signal piracy, there were between 20 million and 30 million views on either social media platforms or video on demand. Many bars and restaurants also provided the fight illegally, according to the report."

    Basically everyone saw that fight. We all know it.

    Fury was not a star at that point, he was a massive underdog v Wlad and it was a win that didn`t get much attention from the general public, Fury had no PPV success before that fight and was unknown in the US, AJ did for better PPV numbers than Fury up to that point.

    Between 20 million and 30 million stolen PPVs, according to the company that tracks it.

    You saw it. Everyone who wanted to watch it saw it. If you didn't order it, you watched a stolen signal.

    Everyone knows the deal.

    They even forbid posting stolen streams here, because everyone knows where to get stolen streams.

    I`m telling you Fury was not a big name at that point, he was only known to boxing fans.
