    Brief? 8 months for a 40+ boxer is a loooong time span. Athletes get old overnight and Klit was showing signs of slowing down since Jennings.

    Furthermore, 18 months between fights is too long at that age, especially coming from a loss where he looked shot to shiet.

    Neither beat the best version of Wlad, but Fury definitely gets more credit. Not only did he beat a less old version, he wasn't almost stopped either.

      I agree. A 50/50 purse split. Then the fights a go.

Anything to discredit him to make Fury and Wilder seem so superior. Its ***** hilarious and they have far too much time on their hands.

        Jumping on the Fury bandwagon because it just rolled past them. Anything to validate their opinions. These are the same peoples who were on the Andy Ruiz bandwagon, until he lost, now he's a fat Mexican.

        Nothing but pure jealousy, really. They can't stand it that there are just as many holes in Fury and Wilder's careers as there are in Joshua's. The problem is, Fury and Wilder are like ***** swiss cheese.

        They can't fathom that there are three sides to the 'Why Wilder/Joshua never fought' story. Wilder's story, Joshua's story...and the truth. It'll happen with Fury too. They'll swallow up whatever Fury, Arum or Frank will say too.

        People just don't get that none of these fighters give two shits about any of you guys posting on here about them. As much as Hearn was living rent free in Warrens head, all you haters have Anthony Joshua all over your brain. You're nothing but customers paying for all this BS. You are literally the fuel feeding this endless stream of BS - so if you want to blame anyone, blame yourselves.

        Fucking idiots.
        I mean, i don't think anybody here cares about the fighters outside of their boxing ability or who they fight so the not caring stuff is mutual, not sure what that has to do with anything. Isn't that what this forum is for? To talk about boxing?

        For the record, i wanted Fury to beat Wilder and as for Fury-Joshua, i think it's a good fight. I don't really give a damn who wins because i don't get anything from it regardess

          I'd definitely agree that neither fought the best version of Wlad. In general I don't disagree with your assessment of decline at that age. I did think Wlad looked in great shape for the Joshua fight though.

          You're right that Fury wasn't almost stopped, but then again neither did he stop Wlad. Nor did it look like he hurt him at any point in the fight. Fury definitely deserves credit for winning that fight: as you say, it was a less old version. But as you also say, on that night Wlad looked shit. Hence, he wasn't a legend in one fight and an old man in the other.

            Ever since Fury won, these fake Fury bandwagon fans been popping up everywhere like moles in the ground!

            Most of them never cared for Fury until he beat Wilder lol
            Fighters often get fans by having great wins.

            Fury is ATG and future HOFer.

                Future HOFer but might not be ATG. 2nd best of this era. Most dangerous puncher in boxing after Marciano and Foreman.

                  I think judging by your response, this wasn't aimed at you. It was aimed at those who cannot articulate a response without trolling based on BS.

                    AJ has the best resume of any current heavyweight and he’s always accused of being scared.

                      Ahh, respect man!

                      At least you keep it consistent!

                      Most think Wilder is some unskilled bum with only a right hand which isn’t true and then praise Fury and are calling him the greatest thing since slice bread!
