Ranking should be the a global world ranking - sanctioning bodies rankings mean nothing. Wallin was maybe 23 at the time and Schwarz was at least 33.. I have a feeling I got that wrong though and that Wallin was 33 and Schwarz was outside the top-50 at the time.
Trouble with Fury is can you cherry pic a couple of great wins (and one where he ran from the rematch after saying Wlad would never take it) but then what do you have? Some good wins but not many of them. Then you have to ask why? Also why take PEDs?
The best way to see Fury's resume isn't that great is to look at Chisora's record (a guy from Fury's generation) - you got a ton of top-10 and top-20 fighters there, including 2 fights with Fury. Chisora lost a lot of those - but Fury should have a similar record in terms of guys fought.
Chisora : You got Usyk, David Price (Fury did dodge him in the pros after he lost in the amateurs), Parker x 2, Pulev x 2, Whyte x 2, Takam, Fury x 2, Haye x 2, Vitali Klitschko, Helenius. And Furys resume should look a *lot* better than Chisora's.
