Comments Thread For: Hearn: Fury is The Best Heavyweight on The Planet, I Didn't Think He'd KO Whyte and He Did

[hugh grant]

I read it wrong I thought it was Warren saying fury was the best but Hearn admitting it ,wow?
I thought Hearn thought Josh was the best. But yes fury needs to fight both Josh and usyk.
Ali is greatest heavyweight fighter of all times. If fury beats usyk and Josh id put fury up there in same sentence

Hearn said Furys the best on paper I would still think he’d pick A.J .by knockout if the fight ever gets made . Should A.J defeat Usyk it surpasses any win over any Fury has ,I still believe A.Js win over Klitschko is the best win in the division at this time because he did TKO him ,the only thing one would have to be careful of is maybe an A.J first loss he may take another loss come back and win ? Seems to be or look that better in rematches but I guess we’ll find out soon . I expect A.J to stop Usyk .

I expect A.J to stop Usyk .

Best off putting the house on Usyk then, you can't pick or analyse a fight to save your life.

Fury beat Wlad at his own game the jab and grab BS and befuddled him with feints and movement, AJ had to war with an even older Wlad that isn't a more impressive win just because he "stopped" him... it's the complete opposite.

I sense people envy Anthony Joshua, honestly? I think this is where the hate for him comes from.

I see people ranking the current heavyweights, the title for the greatest fighter of this era has not been decided.

And it is between Fury & Joshua.

Usyk has only just come into play, and Wilder is doing nothing.

The reason why I state that it is between Fury & Joshua, is because these guys have deep or deeper resumes at heavyweight than Uysk.

And I also think Joshua will win his rematch vs Usyk.

Note: I am not a hardcore Anthony Joshua fan, it is I don't understand the hate for him. I see a similar theme with athletes from other sports over the years like Lewis Hamilton. People will just blatantly hate, and I think it is down to some sort of envy. Maybe it is attitude, conduct, optimism. I think it terrifies people that Joshua want go away, put his head down and disappear.

hes hated because he’s a fake, racist, twat

Hearn saying what i been saying you cant be an atg beating klits only who was beaten multiple times before aimt like took the belt from mayweather in a deep division. Wilder 3 wins means something yet at the same time wilder only had 1 top 10 win n that was against ortiz who was beating him landslide on points til got caught. Aj has deeper resume yet fury has the better eye test especially now that aj looks gun shy

To be fair, a lot of that clinging to 20th century British nationalism is why a lot of UK fans are glossing over and fawning over a guy who served a two-year retroactive suspension for using a PED (which he’s never convincingly explained), made ****phobic and misogynistic remarks (which he’s never truly apologized for) and publicly bragged about his friendship with someone who now has a $5 million bounty on his head for being a suspected international crime boss (which Fury has still yet to genuinely address).
Yet these same “fans” come on here and mock and deride a former heavyweight champ like Wilder - who has none of the shameful baggage Fury carries.

Come on Roj. Boxing is corrupt, and the top fighters are far from good people. My favorite fighter as a little kid growing up was Mike Tyson. The man told a female reporter he don't do interviews with women unless he fornicates with them. And also made ****phobic slurs/suggestive language to a guy in the crowd, f me to you love you a F*got. Among others. He got a free pass. In regards to steroids, Holyfield was juiced to gills and got away with it from the early 90s until 2007 when the DEA made the infamous phone call to "Evan Fields". Speaking of Evander. He cheated on his wife countless times, and what six other kids out of wedlock. Yet, the media painted him as this God fearing role model.

Tyson Fury isn't perfect, but he does resonate with alot people around the world. And I would be lying if I said I didn't think he was inspirational person. His story can help those struggling with depression, drug and or alcohol addiction, weight problems, as well as those with suicidal thoughts etc... Hes also a great fighter that was knocked down many times in life, in and out of the ring. And always managed to pick himself up, before a Wilder right hand or life defeated him.
