Hype over Tyson Fury and Wilder is crazy

[deathofaclown]

What people forget is Fury was inactive between 2015 and 2018.

So if you talk about his resume, especially before 2015, there really wasn’t a lot of guys around like today. Dillian Whyte was pretty much unknown, Ortiz wasn’t much of a name, AJ was still coming up.

The kind of guys around when Fury was most active like 2012 or 2013 were guys like Chisora, Johnson, Cunningham etc. The guys he was fighting. Or other guys like Arreola were around.

Let’s not forget Haye pulled out of their fight twice.

Outside of Wlad back then and the odd fighter like Povetkin, the division was pretty bad. Fury was fighting what was basically available outside of Wlad. He was chasing the Wlad fight too.

Fury never avoided any big fights, there just wasn’t many big fights around back then. Haye and Wlad were the biggest and he would’ve fought both.

AJ and Wilder are the biggest fights since his return, he’s fought one of them.

He’s fought some poor competition since coming back, obviously the first 2 comeback fights were understandable. But also he’ll be fighting Wilder for the second time, so you can’t knock that either.

If you put Fury and Wilders resume together ,Joshua would still have a better one . He's defeated 7 top guys on the only legit ranking system and compacted down to 20 something fights its not even close. Both Fury and Wilder are on borrowed time the question there is who gets rid of who . How much Hype are they ? Both are still top guys but Wilder can't say anything he's holding Fury's belt and Joshua knocks either one out.

of the 3 aj is the only one to be battered and destroyed, none of them have a resume worth bragging about, aj does have the best of the 3 but not by much. the way he got his azz whooped was sad tho and took the steam off the guy. hopefully they all fight.

Nice to see fans get hyped for a fight tbh. Better than arguing financials or why the best aren't facing each other. They don't have great resumes but few active fighters do

I'm just going to second this take.

We can argue the specifics, but Wilder and Fury are current top-tier HWs. They are fighting each other. And that's undeniably a good thing.
