New flash Dylan White was 35 yards old when Fury fought him.
Once again what I said was correct.
https://boxrec.com/wiki/index.php/Th...Annual_RatingsMost of those guys beat ranked contenders. I use ring magazine, which offers monthly an annual contenders staring in 1924. By this standard, Tyson Fury has beaten very few ranked contenders under 34 years old that and in and in good shape. Only Wilder qualifies as one, and if he fought other ranked contenders he would be less thought of. The foundation of Tyson Fury's ranking is very weak. Forget his " undefeated " record every body knows he lost to fat John McDermott and was suspect in a few fights. The fact that he is a PED drug chat as a professional and if a known fouler who has been deducted 5 points in points separate fights diminishes his already shallow accomplishments.
Now care to tell me which historians rank Fury highly? Whyte won the WBC belt from Povetkin age 40 when who KO'd him in the first fight. Povetkin was age 41 for the re-match which Whyte won for the WBC intern belt. Kudos to him. The win means over Whyte means virtually noting for Fury's legacy.Comment

WARNING DIGRESSION
It would an interesting way to expose the absurdity of the multiple scantioning bodies if we were to find and list all "strap holders" who didn't make the Ring Magazine anual top ten, while they were reigning champion.
I'll bet there are a few Eastern European and Russian WBC "champions" on that list.Last edited by Willie Pep 229; 04-11-2023, 04:07 PM.Comment

Dillian Whyte is in the top 10 in each of the last 3 years on that site.2022/2021/2020.
It's plain as day.
In dec 2021 he's a Top 5
Fury fought him 4 months later.
Oh I see, you making a 34 & under clause. Well that's a bit ridiculous & intentionally misleading if you pick & choose a format to custom fit an argument. Beating Joe Joyce would mean nothing. Most of the boxers are over that cutoff. Getting credit for accomplishing "nothing" in a win is a rather slanted viewpoint.
In the boxing world beating Joe Joyce will mean something.
The 35 years old isn't the same today as it was in previous decade's. But I missed that part of the information.
Assuming a boxer's win mean's something if he is 4-5 months younger and under 35 should have no bearing on the quality of the victory. That's just arguing semantics. He doesn't get credit due to a technicality and his win is "deemed" meaningless due to him being 1 month over the cutoff...
Having the stars align & having a person not only under 35 but at the "exact time they fight" and also in the top 10 IDK about that.
Joe Joyce is better at his current age than he was at 35, so why should it matter what his age is at the time of "engagement"
Dillian Whyte is same boxer at 34 or 35 why give or take away any "extra" credit...to fit an argument. I just don't see logic in having an age cut off in today's world. In the past decade's I could see some "value" I suppose. But it's your argument, who am I to say it makes no sense.
I honestly missed the age of 34 so I was confused. sorry

- - Whyte be shot as Shyte now.
Yeah, Joyce better than ever very formidable, but for how long at his age? He'd have a full instead of interim title by now had he not signed with who he signed with.
I'd even say Joyce may be the best heavy currently now that the division is in clear freefall save for Usyk who ain't long for this crooked sport.Comment

Tyson Fury put an end to the Klitschko era. For that he should always hold a special place in boxing history.Comment

Lmao....Queenie is such a troll. He can't stand the facts when they don't align to his point of view. He'll make clear exceptions and excuses for Vits, Canelo and whoever else tickles his pickle, but will lambaste anyone he personally dislikes for reasons other than their boxing acumen.Comment
