Ummm, I think Wladimir was 41 and inactive for 1 year and 5 months before that fight. Your turn genius...

Late Saturday nite/early Sunday a.m..... your 'argument' flew out the window bub. Fury is THE man now. He performed like a true legend. Meanwhile, one-dimensional Wilder was embarrassed for the vast majority of the fight.

Wlad was 39, and had a fight against Bryant Jennings 6 months before the Fury fight.

It’s joshua that he was 41 for, and inactive for 2 years for. And he almost won that fight.

He beat himself similar to like this what? First thing that came to my mind actually.

The discussion was about Joshua fighting Wladimir, not Fury fighting Wladimir. Wladimir was 41 and inactive for 1 year and 5 months before he fought Joshua.

I definitely give credit to Fury when he fought Wladimir but not Joshua.

I will give credit to Fury for a helluva fight by him but it was recorded a draw for both of them regardless of who the fans thought won. And I thought Fury won. But he won’t be the man until he gets a “recorded” victory over both Wilder & Joshua. Not a hypothetical one that can be debated over and over again on social media. And for the record, “some” past and current boxers, and people on social media and boxing fans thought the draw was fair and some thought Wilder won. Just look at the posts on this boxing forum. So they still have to settle it for certain in a rematch. Our opinions about who won don’t really matter. It’s officially recorded a draw. And everyone knows Fury got a favorable count by the ref. He was fortunate and he also showed a lot of balls getting up too. Again, I thought Fury pulled it out. Respect to Fury but I don’t think he is the man just yet. And Wilder said yesterday, he wants his next fight to be Fury anywhere.

ahhhhh gotcha. My mistake. I've read way too many people saying that the Wlad against Joshua was the better Wlad.

From reports I've read by multiple posters, there has been a bunch of people who reviewed the video with a stop watch. It was not a long count in round 12. Anyone who says otherwise has to acknowledge Wilder got extra time in the round after Ortiz almost KOd him.
