    No he didn't.

    Did you even watch the fight?

    Fury outboxed him marvelously. He had Wlad confused, and gun shy - both because his movement and control of the distance kept him a step ahead, and because Fury was landing his jab almost at will.

    Fury didn't need to throw punches. Thats speaks on his dominance, not on his ineptitude. And blame Wlad for not being able to adjust and make it interesting.

    I mean, he admitted that Fury had him puzzled and he froze up, why are you talking out of your ano like the facts aren't out there?

      Wlad ****** beyond belief, it's been a revelation to have him firmly removed from the heavyweight landscape.

        Yeah cuz the division is sooo great right now with Wilder fighting another bum in Arreola, AJ getting the title from the worst HW champ ever...

        Aside from Povetkin/Wilder not one quality match up has been made since Fury 'made the HW division exciting again' by beating Wlad in one of the most boring fights ever. And that fight (Povetkin/Wilder) was a mandatory.

        At least with Wlad we had some clarity, now we have guys who literally haven't fought anyone with belts in their hands.

        Controversial comments don't make this division exciting.

          Lol. What numbers are you talking about? Quote them here so I have some idea of the point you are trying to make.

          Joshua/Whyte and Fury/Klitschko-1 were both screened on Sky Box Office in the UK. I would think that Fury/Wlad sold a lot more tickets. If you have numbers proving otherwise, like I said, lets see them.

          But in any case, that would just be UK viewers. World-wide, Fury/Wlad was a much bigger fight.

          I have no doubt at all that a Fury/Klitschko was watched by many more people world-wide than Joshua/Whyte. If you think otherwise, post the numbers you are talking about here. Otherwise, I'm calling bullshit on that.

          Fury/Wlad-2 won't be on Sky PPV, because it's a Frank Warren show, and he has his own subscription channel, Boxnation. It's going to be on HBO in the States, and will be screened live and watched by millions in Europe, Russia, etc, as all Wlad's fights are.

          It will be watched by more people, and bring in more money, than Joshua/Brazeale, I have no doubt about that.

                He doesn't know how many numbers Joshua/Fury got in their fights, because unlike the American networks, Sky don't release that kind of information.

                I suspect more people worldwide watched Fury-Klitschko than Joshua vs some fat bum.

                  I have no doubt at all that Fury vs Wlad-1 was watched by many more people world-wide than Joshua/Whyte. I assume it was watched by more in the UK too. The whole country was talking about it, ffs. Joshua vs Whyte didn't have anything like the same buzz with the general public..

                    Yeah, let's blame Wilder for Povetkin taking drugs

                    You're right. I often remissness about the golden era when Wlad would defend against Mormeck, Thompson, Wach & Pianeta in succession. Those were the days, weren't they just?

                    We have definitely had a few fun fights since Wlad got his ass beat incl. Joshua vs Whyte & Wilder vs Szpilka. We've also had Jennings vs Ortiz and Duhaupas KOing Helenius as well as Pulev and Chisora, Chambers vs Washington if you look slightly below top 10 level.

                    Yeah you're right we had clarity. We all knew exactly what to expect every time he stepped in the ring: a foul-fested stinker of biblical proportions.

                      If he meant Mike Tyson then yes, I agree.
