    Maybe Wallin just simply deserve a little more credit for being a live body your thoughts?

      Expecting way too much. Its Tyson Fury. Who knows how hard or easy he will make it for himself. And all the people calling Wallin a bum cuz he hadnt beaten anybody is just a perfect example of the fickle nature of Boxing fans. Unproven is what Wallin is, hadnt been beat, lots of fighters have a record like Wallin at some point until they step it up, doesnt make them a bum just means they havnt stepped up yet.

      But a casuals forum like this is all about being the best or a bum, its one or the other, all these none Boxing forum members talk like champions but we aint **** to be calling ranked fighters bums. But we do, casuals forum full of PBC shills.

            By the 5th round Wallin looked like a guy that had never fought 12 rounds before which is pretty much what he is. Before he gassed out he was out punching Fury and making him look average

              A little from column A and B. Wallin deserves full credit as a live wire and will become a known name if there's any any justice; Fury spent 90% of the fight desperate and out of his comfort zone over a fluke injury anyone could succumb to and still made it happen in basically a full 180 from his usual style. Factoring in everything I don't think this should diminish Fury in the eyes of reasonable people. E.g. Jumping to "Wilder KOs Fury in 3" based on tonight is pretty much nonsense.

                Casuals acting like the underdog was never a threat. We got Ruiz, Johansson, Douglas, McCall, Rahman, Schmelling, Brewster, Braddock, Willard, Sanders etc etc etc.

                These guys get their shot and they grab it with both hands. Wallin has been around a while now and did what he needed to do. Fury also did what he needed to do and didn't lose. Same as Wilder. Wilder is called a bum every day and he's been behind in fights but still hasn't succumbed to a loss to the underdog yet by getting it done.

                Chill the **** out and lets keep it real.

                  Might be, truth to be honest, I haven't watched Wallin's fights and dont know much about him so its hard to judge. Maybe he is a decent boxer? I dont know

                  But Fury is funny in a way that he can look occasionally bad, then just turn it up and look great the next fight. Will be interesting to see how he will do against Wilder the next time they fight

                    In heavyweight boxing everybody that can punch is a potential threat.
