    Better win: Ward TKO8 Kovalev or Fury TKO7 Wilder

    In your opinion which would you say was the bigger win and which were you more impressed with? Both were rematches of fights that ended in controversy and also had the superior boxers (Ward, Fury) stopping the superior punchers (Kovalev, Wilder).

    Fury by far. He didn't need low blows and elbows to win. He was also up against a ref who was pro-Wilder. Unlike Ward who had the ref on his side and ignored all of his low blows and fouls.

      Fury... Ward did great but first fight was a robbery. Fury slick boxed him the first time and get robbed than decided to knock him out and he did. That was a bad beating

        Yep. Really, the only thing in common at all between these fights was that both of the winners were dropped in the first fight. That's literally IT.

          Yeeah some of his punches were low but Kov was on his way out. Ward landed a great punch and Kov was stumbling all over the ring. BUT, Fury victory is a wayyy bigger win. He went straight at the bigfgest puncher in HW history and KOd him

            Has to be Fury over Wilder. Kov really didnt talk. Wilder bumped his gums all the time.

                Fury. That was a much more dominant win.

                  Fury over Wilder was a much more dominating beating. It was the bigger guy demolishing the smaller guy. Ward over Kov was Ward beating a bigger fighter that was ranked in the top 10 p4p.

                  Ward had the better win because Kov is a much better professional boxer than Wilder is but I was more impressed with Fury just walking forward and beating Wilder's ass.

                    Fury by far.

                    Ward while he did beat up Kovalev in the rematch, you had a few low blows that weren’t counted and that had a lot to do with the final outcome.

                    Fury made the proper adjustments and beat Wilder down, without the use of dirty tactics like many have claimed. Fury fought the perfect fight and that gets props for such a high Ring IQ.
