Lots of people saw Tyson Fury as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time and after this loss, he's just another nobody

    Fury lost to pfp no1 or 2 in the world. That's not so bad

      Few factors here:

      Fury lost to a much smaller man, and the manner of the loss was quite dominant. So historically that doesn't put him on solid ground vs smaller men of the past.

      Also his 2nd best in (on his v thin resume) has been getting wrecked by the calibre of guys he has been avoiding all these years, confirming him as largely a hype job.

      I love Fury and think he had the potential to be one of the gr3atest ever but he just wasn't dedicated enough. He had all the tools: heart, size, v long reach, quick feet, weight and head movement. But he just didn't have thw commitment

        I never fell for that absolute horsehit theory…..he resume was built on fights against 2 fighters one who I felt had an off night and the other who was just a one trick pony who was probably the most protected heavyweight champion of all time and the only credible name was Luis Ortiz …..most people who believed that fury was up there with with Ali or Lewis were social media geeks or people that didn’t really know anything about this glorious sport.
        just look fury’s resume over the last 10 fights and you will know.
        Not for nothing, and with no agenda, both Wladimir and Lennox got laid out in their primes against massive underdogs, as did Joshua.

        Fury and Wilder never did. And the one time Fury did get laid out......the man got up!

        When we make snap judgments about "credible names", that must be considered.
