    Shame Oquendo vs Charr never happened.

    Could be one for the ages.

      Seferi was a comeback fight after Fury ballooned to 30 stone, and Schwartz was a comeback fight after he nearly got decapitated by Deontay Wilder, and neither of those fights were for a world title unlike Wlad's joke of a fight.

      What about Wlad vs Pianeta? That was an amazing fight, or Wlad vs Wach, those truly were the golden days of the HW division.

      Anyway brb, i'm going to watch a reply of Wlad vs Eddie Chambers to get excited for the upcoming fights this weekend.

        Sob stories, so what if he ballooned up, whose fault is that?

        The same Pianeta that Fury went the distance with in a snoozefest? lol

        Wlad took these as stay busy fights and was taking on prime, undefeated, unknown commodities not acting a diva, pricing himself out and having trilogies on PPV with 40 yr old journeyman he'd already effortlessly beaten

        Wladimir took on everyone and almost always faced the highest ranked opposition available. Fury has fought literally just two noteworthy opponents in his entire career. His resume is littered with absolute ****! Someone like Eddie Chambers would be in Furys top 3 wins ffs

            Haha yeah right, who even talks about Wlad anymore? He has no legacy, nobody cares or talks about him and there's a reason why experts talk about Fury as a potential ATG and not Wlad.

            Wlad was knocked out by journeymen and made a career from fighting bums. The rare time he faced an elite fighter, he either had to cheat (Povetkin) or got schooled (Fury)

              It's easy to rip apart anyone's resume. I could do it with Calzaghe, Lewis, Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr, Mayweather, etc, it's always open to many interpretations such as do you rate the people he beat as highly as most do people, did he beat the best version of that person, did he deserve win, wrong weight division, etc, etc, this can be done with absolutely anyone. Then also if a fighter is a real favorite of someone's, of course, you can give max credit to each win, and put every loss down to being past prime, such as Mike Tyson.

                Chris Byrd? David Haye? Ruslan Chagaev?

                lol cheat? didn't Fury literally fail a drug test? I don't recall Wlad ever failing one.
                Or having cheating accusations against him for potentially tampered gloves among a million other things.

                  Its weird to me Fury fans **** on about Wlads holding and leaning when he often employs the same tactics and is a whole lot dirtier constantly using his forearm and rabbit punching.

                    I don't think we can say Fury is necessarily the best while there's an undefeated unified champ in his division. Fury and Usyk need to prove it in the ring. Same with Spence and Crawford, Beterbiev and Bivol etc.

                      Byrd was an OK win, the other two were cruiserweights.

                      Only a halfwit would take Wilder's allegations seriously, and I saw Wlad cheat against Povetkin with my own eyes.

                      You know as well as I do that he should've been DQd.
