Fury Wilder III shows no current heavyweight is great

[15round]

The fight was exciting without question, but it was not two great fighters going at it. Wilder had the opportunity to finish Fury but his lack of skill could not allow him to do it. Fury had Wilder spinning around the ring so many times and his hyped boxing skills did not end the fight until Wilder was so exhausted he had no balance or resistance.

Usyk-Joshua was a more skilled fight. Usyk showed that he could put punches together and Joshua was messed up at the end of the fight and stayed on his stool. Joshua showed skills even though not on par with Usyk. But I have no doubt Usyk would have ended the fight with one more round. Ruiz put bunches of punches together to take out Joshua.

Until someone cleans up the heavyweight division there is no greatness. Fury has shown no intention of doing that.

So you preferred Frank Sanchez?

Fury didn't go in against Wilder to show off any skills, he went in there for destruction, it wasn't a boxing match, it was a fight, two men trading punches until one of them falls over.

If you want to see skills, watch Fury against Wilder the first/second time, or Chisora, or Hammer etc.

Usyk vs Joshua was nothing special. I just saw a big stiff idiot fighting scared against a little guy who didn't do much himself.

It was an exciting fight but it was frustrating that Fury could not put Wilder away. It reminded me when I took this young boy fishing and I showed him how to whack the fish on the head a few times to put it to sleep. The boy had trouble hitting the fish cleanly and only hit it a few times softly in the head, sometimes in the body and missing mostly because it was flopping about. After watching this for a time I took the fish club to show him how to do it, hitting the fish on the head with three hard whacks putting it out of misery. I kept waiting for Fury to do this in the fight, but he was like this boy and Wilder was the fish.

If Fury would have picked him apart and taken him in the later rounds without getting knocked down himself that would have established some greatness. The first Stiverne fight and Fury Wilder II are the only fights that I know where Wilders opponent did not go down or out. I thought Fury needed to put on a clinic to show he improved from the first two fights but he didn't.

Wilder v Fury was like watching bumfights vol 3 between boxcar shamus & red fox in his prime

,on the 1 hand it was a blast to watch seeing these 2 club each other like 2 neanderthals,but on the other hand it was a bit frustrating seeing Fury lower his skill levels to the point where he let Wilder repeatedly serve him a 2 piece meal right up the pipe like BJS at a gypsy sausage fest.

2 heavyweights showed greatness that night, that fight will go down in history.

Heavyweight classics generally aren’t technically skilled contests, it’s two 200lb+ men slugging it out, I don’t know what you were expecting to see in all honesty.

Any excuse to hate on Fury.

Everyone was calling him most boring HW who ever lived when he was fighting off the backfoot, then he comes forward and he's suddenly an unskilled useless ogre!

You didn't answer my question.

You preferred Frank Sanchez - not engaging, barely throwing, against Ajagba who just got clipped every time he did try to go in.

That's what you prefer of HEAVYWEIGHT fighters - boxing, but not fighting.

RIght?

Here's the thing.

I guarantee you, anyone who is a boxing fan should want heavyweight fighters to actually fight, not box. It's been sorely missing for YEARS. Unless you got guys like Whyte or Chisora in there, the vast majority of heavyweights have not wanted to fight.

Fury put on a clinic against Grabomir, nobody remembers that fight.

Real fans will remember the Fury/Wilder trilogy - and 10-20 years from now, it will be discussed.
