    The blow is softened by the fact that he won 114-113 on Nash's card. Nash out

      Fury had a legacy? LMAO! Lennox was the last heavyweight that was worth doing more than wiping your a ss with it

Plus most of Furys reputation was built off the back of a trilogy with a guy who has been looking like shyt after. Yes sure you could make the argument that Wilder has declined and is old compared to when Fury fought him, but imo its more that Wilder barely fought any genuine elite opponents outside of Fury before, and now that hes willing to take more risks after the losses hes getting found out. I dont believe there was ever any version of Wilder who wouldnt have been at serious risk vs guys like Parker and Zhang.
          Apparently, it's now Parker’s turn to be overrated.

            i think is constant bs about smashing gappy little middleweight in 7 rounds added much more to the lose. If he would shut up, there would be less shame in losing to Usyk who to the date won against everyone infront of him.

              To be fair to fury, usyk had acclimated to the weight. Do you think the usyk who best chisora wouldve best fury? Usyk has good wins under his belt before beating fury. So it's not as humiliating for fury as it couldve been
              Usyk didn't do what inoue does, by stepping straight to the best in division.

                I'm not overrating Parker at all, hes nothing special, but stylistically he was always going to be a problem for Wilder - good chin, bit of skill, fairly quick and athletic.
