    Fury vs Klitschko. It’s only logical to consider Wlad was past prime but at that moment no one was really favored over him since he was still very very good. Even fury was the underdog..

    Fast forward 2 years later he even give Aj the fight of his life.


    Kova was heavy favorite to beat hopkins and done what was expected. Many even expected a KO so that a disappointment to say the least

      Totally agree. There's just some very dumb people on this forum who needed to hear it from someone else.

Yeah he was 39 vs Fury, but one who had took little damage in over a decade, a heavyweight, and and in physical peak. It was PRIME Wlad Fury beat. Kovalev beat a decent but well past his best Hopkins who was 48/49.
          Some people seem to suggest that Wlad was waaaay over the hill despite looking his career best vs Joshua 16 months later

          Apparently going 12 against Jennings proved that Wlad was done. Even though he went 12 with guys on similar level like Ibragivmov and Chambers (before the final ko) in the past.

          All because they don't want to give Fury his credit.

                Why the fugh do you need approval from others
                That’s what I keep asking myself
                Are you trying to convince yourself

                  Exactly. In Wlad's 10/11 year run, he went late/the distance many times. His Jennings performance was better than his Wach performance and Jennings is better than Wach. Their is absolutely nothing to suggest Wlad was best it vs Fury, and he was the better fight for 10/11 rounds against Joshua until he took that uppercut, which was the best punch of Joshua's career.

                  Fury beat prime Wlad. I mean, what had Wlad lost? His speed and power were the same as ever, as well his style. He was just facing someone who was a bit bigger, a bit more skilled, with a lot more balls. Wlad was a great HW, a good win for anyone, but he is not as good as Fury.

                    You could answer, ya know, if ya wasn't such a twink.


                    What exactly do you think you're proving to me? Semantics? Propaganda? Why would I care? Compared to me you're useless.

                      I responded to a guy saying Wlad is indubitably a better win than Sergey. I said it's debatable on the ground Wlad has no resume. You brought up Tyson Fury, I laughed at you, end of recap.

                      you brought this crap up, not me.
                      No, I didn't. Quote me where I did. I brought up Hopkins over Wlad's resume. Wlad is a man on Fury's resume, not the other way around.....dumbass.

                      and you think that's better than Klitschko who didn't lose a fight or look like losing a fight for a decade

                      Idiocy of the highest level.

                      The ****'s that got to do with resume?

                      Man say has no resume

                      You say 10 year reign

                      WTF....is this the twilight zone?

                      Offer a name Wlad beat, dumb ****. It's not hard. You're not doing anything until you do. Everything you've done takes way more effort than saying " I think Chris Byrd" or Povetkin, or Cheagev, or whatever the **** you think is a better than Sergey over Hopkins.



                      I write long posts dripping with history for the most part....do you really think I now or ever gave a **** about goofy ****s who are either too ****** or too lazy to read a full paragraph? Eat a ****. You're not even close to my level son.
