    really not even but there was a a seesaw midrounds.

    Wlad was fannyflabtastic for a 43 year old.

      Joshua got knocked down and was almost stopped by a 41 year old Klitschko that hadn't fought in almost 2 years. The referee stopped the fight prematurely. That fight was life or death

      Fury easily beat him at almost 2 years younger and never had a hand laid on him.
      wlad was gassed, look at his face in the fight. after 8 he had no chance, just surviving.

        It’s not a bad era. Yeah, there’s no dominant champion, but there are a few interesting matchups. As long as they get made, it’s all good. I’ll echo what a few have said, Fury looks to be the top man right now.

          Best win of Wilder is Jurassic Park Luis Ortíz and he was life and death

          Best win of Fury is a old Klitschko and the fight was close

          At least Joshua destroyed Klitschko...
          this guy fking kills me

            I think a lot of the top heavies today are just coming up in the ranks now.

            From the proven crop, Fury is clearly the best, he's got the best combination of skill, IQ and size

              The previous and current era of heavyweights are underrated. Head to head and accomplishments wise. The Klitschkos in particular Wladimir is very underrated.

                And that fight was straight garbage.

                Fury landed 70 punches

                6 punches landed by round lol

                Joshua destroyed Klitschko and K.Od him

                Klitschko was seriously hurted and brutally K.O

                That was more.impressive than a close and.boring UD win
                Got your scores wrong mate. it was 115-112 X2 and 116-111 X2. These scores included a point deduction. So it would have been 116-112 X2 and 117-111. So 8-4 Fury X2 and 9-3 Fury X2, and that was fighting in Klitschko's home base where any round at all they could try to give him, they did. I scored it 10 rounds Fury and two even. 120-110. Though 118-110 would have been fine.

                  Much, much better than the overrated 90's era!

                    It's the best division in HW history.

                      The previous era was legitimately bad aside of the Klitschkos. All American boxing produced was Tony Thompson, and guys like Dimitrenko were some of the best the euro scene could produce.
