As someone who used to go to the early Fury fights back in the day i'll hold my hands up. Since becoming the man his cv has been absolute rubbish. Since winning the belt a decade ago he's fought Wilder and Whyte who were ranked. (whyte was sparked out by Povetkin the previous year too)That's pitiful stuff. Very sad to see a generatonal talent like Usyk being aged out of this era. Usyk has done everything asked of him but what is he meant to do? A pure dung era of HW boxing is this.
Hard to believe Wilder had so much trouble with a short grossly fat freak that had no footwork, was very slow and had almost no speed or skill. Wilder was sloppy as hell back then and he is still pretty damn sloppy today. Sorry, Wilder fans but he is not one of history's better heavyweight champions. He hits very hard but you can see his windmill punches coming. He leaves himself wide open quite often. I think a Dempsey, Louis, Lewis, Liston, Ali, Tyson, Foreman, Marciano etc take advantage of those openings and beat him.
'The Worm' was hungry and really up for it that day. He was a man possessed. The hatred he had for Wilder made sure he bit down on his gum shield and just kept gutting it out.
When you check Wilder's resume, he really has not banged out the caliber and level of fighters that Mike Tyson, David Tua did.
Wilder hits with great power with his best punch. But overall his offense is not as devastating as other past great offensive fighters.
Fighters such as Wladimir Kiltschko, Vitali Kiltschko, Lennox Lewis at their peak overall offensively were most likely more dangerous than Wilder 'And nobody really rate's those fighters as monster punchers, even though they were power punchers'.
So I don't think Wilder's absolute power is overrated, but his offense is 'Wilder's ability to deliver his power is not as great as past offensive fighters'.
There were many destructive punchers in the 90's, their power also had range and variation 'There was not just one fighter like in today's era, that the media built up as a monster puncher'.
Note: This era of Heavyweights although it is a Super Heavyweight era, there are not many great offensive fighters 'Or power punchers'. And I think this is also what highlights Deontay Wilder.
Maybe in past era's Wilder would just be another dangerous Heavyweight 'Wilder's absolute power is not overrated, but overall his offense is not skill for skill elite'.
Regardless, I still rate Wilder extremely highly within this era of Heavyweights etc.
You could argue Povetkin has more power than Wilder. He's stopped far better men than Wilder did.
Fury may very well be best HW....
IF.....
he can come back soon with a tuneup then straight to the real fights
There's talk of Fury signing with Frank Warren again. Which tends to mean a few small hall shows against journeymen. Which is what he needs really.
:rofl:
Rocky X: Pikey Rocky vs. Black Drago.
The irony is that Tyson was able to beat one of the best conditioned athletes of this generation. You would be able to make a similar montage of Fury and Klitschko training without skipping a beat and Fury ****ing beat him.
I know that out of Wlad's 5 losses, the Fury one is the one that has and will continue to haunt him the most.
I don't know. He lost to Joshua cause he assumed he'd blown his stamina and was going to be able to pick him and finish him rather than go all out for KO when Joshua was badly stunned. Against Fury he was outboxed, plain and simple.
It looks like Fury really is ducking Price.
:lame:
He admitted it previously. From 28.30

I cant take your post seriously now, i think your just trying to punk everyone.....that said, you must think this is a step down for fury then?? :alcoholic
Haye is about the same standard as Cunningham so it's more of a sideways step tbh.
This is a big step up for Haye. You can't jump from fighting the likes of Mormeck, Chisora, Enzo and Audley to somebody of Fury's ability. Haye is going to get beat bad here just like he did that one other time he fought an actual top 10 HW.
That is a big fine.
When you consider FIFA charge Italian Clubs about £8,000 for racist chanting.
Wonder if this money goes towards paying for BBBoC's summer party. 'Free bar, Gents!'
Not really. It's a disgrace that FIFA fine and ban clubs for something that is completely out of their control.
Thompson's a legit top 10 fighter what ever way you look at it and gave Wladimir his toughest fight since Peter. Thompson's a live underdog here and Wladimir's right, Thompson probably would have something like a 50/50 record if he faced the best of the rest.

Hopefully little David has fully recovered from this horrific injury in time for the fury fight. I want no excuses from Haye once he gets easily beaten yet again, David needs to learn to take his beaten like a man.
Yes I forgot the elite level competition Fury has fought in Pajkic, Rogan, Johnson & Maddalone.
But you're right, we all saw what happened when Fury fought the feather fisted Cunningham. He got put clean on his arse. If Haye lands like that, then it's night night Fury.
Is Mormeck a huge puncher?
Far, far too big a step up in class here for Haye. You can't go from fighting jokers like Audley, Chisora, Enzo, Valuev and Bonin to facing a Tyson Fury. We saw what happened last time Fury fought someone on Haye's level against Steve Cunningham and that's what will happen to Haye too, ie get squashed like a bug.
Haye can come back from this defeat and fight David Price for his British title. This defeat wont be the end of Haye.
you only give a damn bc u have your nose in someone elses business...gay on the other hand is right in your face...walkin around your park kssing each other while innocent young minds watch
I give a damn because making a stand against the mass extermination of the innocent is the correct moral position to take actually.
u're missing wat tyson is saying..gays fougth for these rights and although we know its wrong to show kids this they won...now wat if 13 year olds start fighting to sleep with 30 year olds...do we let them win bc anytime we go against them they say we are offensive??
like he said u dont see this happening now, but 50 years ago u didnt see this pro sissy stuff happening either..
and dotn tell me it cant..i had a middle school and high school full of girls who like guys who have freakin graduated and attended college...and omg all the 12 year old boys wanna spank the sexy teacher right?
tyson is right once a little evil gets out the rest keeps coming
i dont care about abortion..the freaking thing isnt living its is the womans body so get over it
Of course it's a alive you idiot.
do you see it? does it have emotions...are u going to ****ing miss it? who are we to tell a person to parent for 18 years if they dont want to bc they were raped or tricked by some man that said he was wearing a condom...yea its alive to you freak shows that think weed is a cool new drug now that heels every thing and doesnt give u cancer any more smh
Yes that's the ultra materialistic stance that I have a problem with. Ie your post basically read "i'm a hopeless slag and can't be arsed dealing with my responsibilities due to materialistic reasons so I'll just end a life instead because i'm a cnut basically."
