It's like some posters just want to defend him because he is American. I'm American, open your eyes the guy is Not a good fighter. Numerous flaws. I will say his fights have been fun. But it's obvious why he is fighting the Molina's of the world has had only one top ten opponent in nearly 40 fights at age 30. He is a KO waiting to happen and it looked like it was going to come tonight until he landed a big shot.
Time for any update: --Knocked out in the amatuers by a LHW --Put down by morbidly obese Dustin Nichols --Put down by career loser Harold Scoiners --Built much of he career by beating sad corpses like Harrison and Lyakovich --Brought in personal friend Malik Scott to take an obvious dive --Did not fight the real champ for his "title" but a Don King manufactured buffet champion --Knocked down by 2 Wlad jabs and out with one medium left hook in sparring --Destroyed and almost ktfo'd by Haye in sparring --Rocked heavily by a Firtha jab --Could not defeat Stivern as convincingly as Demetrice King --Could not even knock Stivern down like Rossy --Some of the most shameful opponents for his "title defenses" that the world has ever seen, showing his low self esteem --Rocked by Molina --He did not perform as well agasint Molina as Arreola OR ASHANTI JORDAN, both of whom knocked him out in 1 --Eye busted up by Duhaupas, a French pastsry chef --Sold as a nice guy, but actually spends his time beating up hookers and Charlie Zelenoff, who are ironically his best opponents --Dispresects great fighters like Tyson and Klitscko --Now trying to claim that Fury's courageous win somehow makes him champion. --Avoiding Povetkin like the plague --Seems to be using a new tactic,probably to mask steroid use, of not allowing his pathetic opponents a full camp --Considered Wawryck, knocked out in 3 by his mandatory, as an opponent --Offered a shot to Adamek, a shot to pieces 39 year old former LHW who is 1-2 in his last three, but only allowed him a 6 week camp. --Offered Briggs $500,000 and then tried to low ball him when he accepted --Would only give Hugh Fury a 3 week camp despite the fact that the man has only been fighting for two years --fought a crude cruiserweight soccor hooligan who was knocked down three times by Mollo and had his jaw busted agasint McCline, and will STILL only allow him a five week camp. --Outboxed by Szpilka for many rounds --threw some of the most cowardly, pawing right hands I have ever seen against Szpilka --Szpilka confirmed that Mike Mollo actually hits harder.
A flawed boxer who hits hard and gets by on size and power. I put down 100 bucks on arreola with a friend. Negotiated the odds at 20-1. Feel ok about my bet.
This was one of the most one sided fights and I think at this point, Wilder should retire. Fury’s whole legacy is looking shaken after this and the Ngannou fights.
Hammer in the nail of his career and legacy, it's over at this point and fact is he never beat a fighter who you could say was 100% top 5. Ortiz was his best win who was old, on heart meds and who never beat a top 5 fighter himself. Years from now people will look back and say how horribly overrated he was.
