      This. It's a ridiculous comparison.

        I don't think I've ever nor will I ever see a recovery as impressive as Fury's. He resurrected himself from the dead and then took over the damn fight in the 12th round.

          Credit to Jack Reiss for administering the count and not calling it off immediately. I think 8 out 10 refs would have called the fight after that knockdown.

            The commentators thought that was it, so did a lot in the crowd, boxing journalists even tweeted out Wilder by knockout.

              Fury's recovery is right up there with the Undertaker's

                The last person to rise from the dead like that was Jesus our Lord and Savior.

                  What I find really funny is that at the start of the 12th, one of the commentators mentioned Fury resurrecting his career, and said Lazarus would be proud. A minute later, Fury rose from the dead for real, just like Lazarus

                    Yeah, but he took another right when he got up.
