Fury Usyk complete mismatch shouldn't be sanctioned

Why?

Just watched the Fury fight, he’s a little bit special. No other HW comes close to beating him imo

Fury looks camp as Christmas when he runs across the ring after knocking folk out.

Love the guy.

Wilder has finally showed a microcosm of humbleness and class by acknowledging his best wasn’t good enough. 
 

Maybe Fury’s prayer had some affect. 

Fury - Wilder is #1 vs #2.

Theres absolutely nowhere for him to go now.  He's not the sort to keep defending in easy fights either.  Uysk is a mismatch and he destroys AJ (as does Wilder)

Cant see who he fights next.

One of the all time greats

Top 3 all time for me. Only lewis beats him in recent history.

Following on from @barryk32and @gonzo where does Fury come in the top heavyweights of all time? Is he in anyone’s top 5/10

You have to put Fury up there as an all time great.

Mike Tyson

Ali

Fury

 

Assuming we’re just going heavyweight by the way.

If it’s across divisions, you need 6 or 7 spots for the likes of Mayweather

I think Tyson is mint, hes quality and I’m a big fan but he wouldn’t make my top 5 just because of who he has (or hasnt) faced. 

It's a different sport now.  Fury is a literal giant in comparison to 'the greats'.

He'd be an entire foot taller than Tyson.

I think he beats them all

Heavyweight yes definitely top 10

overall no, not yet at least. 
 

People won’t get want to hear it but AJ has had tougher opponents 

Pulev, Klitschko, Povetkin, Parker, Martin, Brezeale, Whyte, Molina, Takam

Fury has beaten Wilder 3 times IMO and after that Klitschko who else is on his resume? Chisora

Thing is Fury has had his chequered past due to his problems but always finds a way to win. Though he may not have fought those mentioned Wilder beats them all.... & he has destroyed Wilder.

I get that, to be fair. Because he did beat some right old dross, but he also had way more fights than modern boxers so his stamina was tested more.
 

Who’s your top 5?

Win with who though? There’s too many nobodies in his list for him to be considered HW the greatest of all time without throwing in hypotheticals 

Can only beat the men in front of you I get that, but has he been truly tested other than Wilder? 
 

And I’m a Fury Fan. That’s the best I’ve seen him box, clinch, respond, counter last night. 
 

Wilder came out and boxed in the first and he looked like he had learned but as soon as he got figured out he went trying to throw these heavy rights over and over again and gassed himself out and then had no business being in the ring with a long reach boxer

Even if Fury beat everyone on your list it wouldn't make it any more of a case for him to be called an all time great. He is by far the best of his generation though.

Don’t dispute that I just think his record of who he has fought and beat isn’t as impressive as other HW’s

He just beats everyone in front of him in this era. He's a 6'9 freak

The only thing that goes against him is the heavyweight division is a bit poo compared to times gone by. So it's hard to judge. Obviously not his fault.

In no particular order. Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Ali, Frazier, Holyfield

I agree but he can't do anything about the quality out there. Personally I wouldn't write him off against anyone of the past greats.... With possibly the exception of a peak Mike Tyson.

Or Andy Todd 😂😂😂

Punch him on the ear trick works again, possible burst eardrum. Wilder was off balance after round 4. So brave; don't know how he stayed on his feet in round 7.

Fury now has a mandatory defence v Whyte or Wallin. Win that and he fights the winner of the AJ v Usyk rematch, presumably.

If only Wilder had deployed the "punch him on the ear" tactic.

If I had to pick my top 5 boxers I could only go off boxers I’ve seen in my lifetime. 

Jack Dempsey, Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson , Sonny Liston I know of their legacies but i would treat as them as the same rule as Pele and Maradona, I never witnessed them so I don’t count them. 
 

So

Mike Tyson

Canelo Alvarez 

Floyd Mayweather

Ricky Hatton

Lennox Lewis
