    Haye v Valuev and Wlad v Fury really were the biggest stinkers in the history of boxthing with Mayweather v Pac not far behind.

    There is a strong correlation between PPV and boxthing stinkers

    Agreed not the most exciting fights, especially when you have your casual boxing friends hyped for it.

    But both were excellent wins if we are going by boxing skills. Win rounds, hit, don’t be hit.

    Although haye vs valuev wins for stinkers I reckon.

    Seeing Wlad totally befuddled was mind blowing, most of my friends never lost interest because they were expecting fury to be chinned at one point

    How many were landed in both fights? And I didn't say I knew it. I said something along the lines of 'doesn't it hold some mad record like fewest punches landed or something.'

    It without question appears to be one of the title fights in heavyweight history which had the fewest punches landed. I don't think the biggest Fury fanboy would argue?

    Who’s the biggest Fury fanboy then, you mean me?

    God no. On here I reckon it's got to be Hatton. If Fury told that lad to chop his balls off cos it's good for you he'd probably do it.

    Saying “without question” and “appears” is contradictory.

    Might be since punch stats began but has anyone actually gone through and checked? In heavyweight history is even more questionable...would need to go through every heavyweight fight in history and put together the stats.

    Landed was higher in Joshua v klitschko because STYLES MAKE FIGHTS.

    And even then Joshua barely outlanded fury by 21 punches.

    Fury has barely any power yet had Wlad gun shy. Joshua very powerful but because he’s stiff Wlad was a lot more confident in throwing the right.

    As we seen when he knocked AJ down

    You're just upset because I make you look like a thick all the time.

    I've criticised Fury many times and will do so again in the future. In fact, I was only criticising him on here yesterday. I call it how I see it. Nobody is immune to criticism from me.

    I'd be more worried about your unconditional love for Anthony Joshua. Pretending he's a clean athlete and defending his sickeningly racist comments.
