    :D brutally accurate!
    sometimes I read some of the posts on these threads and am amazed at how stupid people can be. The majority of Fury fans have to be flabby pork belly bi polar sniff heads

    I don't care about your poorly informed opinions, I'm merely stating how Lewis's record was perceived at the time. Lewis himself was regarded as chinny, weak hearted, an opportunist and a ducker.

    What you also don't understand is that Lewis's opponents weren't rated nearly as highly either because their careers weren't over. Part of the reason why Lewis had a "thin resume" was because his opponents did at the time.

    Someone levels above Fury doesn't get KO'd multiple times by fringe contenders. Keep coping.

    He didn't know Fury was going to shut Wlad out and set an all time defensive record. But why would he? He's the same guy who picked Leapai and Ray Austin to beat Wlad, he's a simpleton.

    Fury's ahead of Lewis at this stage of his career, he's already considered an ATG by many. The Ngannou fight will also age well as he'll beat some name boxers and it's not like Fury got beaten as Lewis did by those two random guys.

    Lewis can barely spell his own name, much like fury. every time Lewis trained a hw to beat one of the Klitschko's, they got destroyed. Pairing them would ensure defeat.

    Read your reply loudly to yourself and see if it made sense to you, particularly the last few paragraphs. I think I get what you are trying to say however it actually better applies to fury.
    Lewis resume is light years ahead of your pork belly crush, he actually fought the best available to him whereas fury finds reasons not to fight the best.
    Fury went pro at the end of 2008 and fought 17 times in 3 years, against pure bums with the only notable name being a raw chisora, during his 17 fight stint he was also flattened by the infamous "Neven Pajkic" :ohno and was given a gift win over McDermott and also knocked down by a cruiser weight. When Lewis was knocked out it was by genuine hard hitting punchers.
    Any back to fury he has since fought 18 times over 11 year's with the only recognised names being klitchscko (in a bore fest) X3 times against windmill wilder X2 chisora once against Whyte and once against a 37 year old making his debut who has just recovered from ACL reconstructive surgery.
    The remaining 10 names aren't even worth mentioning. In contrast Lewis resume includes countless top 10 contenders I won't bother listing them, you can go and do some homework because you clearly aren't as knowledgeable as you'd like to believe and it would do you good to actually study the facts.

    If we were to take it in turns naming the top fighters both Lewis and fury have fought you would run out of credible names before I would. Infant you'd struggle to name more than 3

    Here are some facts:

    Lewis got KO'd by fringe contenders who lost to Klitschko era contenders/gatekeepers, ducked pre-prison Tyson, ducked southpaws and never fought a tall athletic KO artist. He was relatively lightly regarded in his day and the 90's was seen as a weak era.

    I gave you all the facts you need.
    Rahman lost to Klitchscko 7 years after his fights with Lewis so your point of McCall and Rahman losing to guys that fury beat is null and void. Ali lost to spinks years past his prime what is the relevance?? Mike Tyson lost to Williams way past his prime what does that really mean. We can do this all-day but the fact is Lewis fought better opposition than fury. You say the 90s heavyweights were worse then this era which is a laughable moronic statement to make but even if you were right, fury has not fought the best his era has to offer.

    Anyway I'm done going back and forth with you, you're clearly full to the brim of excrement just like your idol o_O

    "Mike Tyson lost to Williams"

    He was allegedly 14 years or so past his prime when he lost to Lewis too. Lenny was smart staying in the amateurs until he was 23 and fighting bums for a while after he turned pro. He didn't want a repeat of those Tyson sparring sessions.

    "You say the 90s heavyweights were worse"

    Indeed. At the time it wasn't controversial to say that the 90's was a weak era (not that I believe in that silly concept).

    "way past his prime"

    Problem with this is it's "Heads I win, tails you lose". If Wlad or one of his contenders/gatekeepers beat someone from the 90's/early 2000's then they must be "shot" in your view (even if the opponent is more experienced, more underestimated etc.), so they can't win.

    Fury lies all the time but he's not a public official or someone with a theoretical "moral obligation" to tell the truth. All's fair in love and war.

    Sounds perfect then. I don't think Fury is trainable. The first thing I would do would be hire a chef/dietician and a strength and conditioning coach. Fury would throw me out same dsy.
