    I would have totally been cool with you putting 10Gs, even more!

    I was so sure that fury was going to utilize his size and bully his way in Haye’s ass like he did with Cunningham.

    That fight was gonna be a demolition too bad it didnt come through.

    Against Wilder, I backed Fury the first time and second time I was even more confident. I just didnt expect the KO but no doubt about a win.
    Yeah man I just didn’t think Haye could deal with a bigger guy with technical skills, I just remember how easily Wlad kept him at the end of the jab. Haye’s body was breaking down at that point.

    I couldn’t see a Fury KO either, for both Wilder fights I just put Fury points on hopeless accumulators with like 4 or 5 other fights which at least one of which inevitably lost.

    I think the only time I ever got a good boxing acca in was the night Spence fought Algieri, I had Spence and Dawson by KO, Warrington and Stuart Hall by points in the UK, Pedraza to beat Stephen Smith and then another random one, I think it was Chris Van Heerden, I remember waiting up all night stressed out trying to get the result.😂

      At some point you have to get past it. Wilder was beaten, and you likely lost a stiff bet... or at least many did. No amount of poison in your attitude about the issue will change anything. To all the fans still mad at Fury demolishing Wilder... just let it go. Nothing is gained by holding onto that anger.

        Like I mentioned earlier, just let it go. Wilder was beaten by a much better fighter. And post-fight tests revealed no cheating from either fighter. Lose the anger and let it go.

          The elusive version of Fury befuddles Lennox to a boring decision.

          And this new current version is way nastier than McCall or Rahman so..

            I wasn’t talking in terms of a hypothetical matchup, I was more comparing talent along with accomplishment, resume, top wins etc.

              Nobody is even mentioning Wilder though they are referring to his use of Nandrolone.

              Regardless he is a good skilled heavyweight that has good waist movement uses a lot of feints and has good footwork with or without PEDS but he can't be considered the greatest of the era until he fights some live bodies he only has 2 champions on his record how is that the greatest.

              I rate Klitschko the best of the era because he got beat up a few times and managed to come back and have a long reign if Fury can replicate that I'd agree with Parker and im not talking about getting beat up im talking about title defenses. I agree Klitschkos resume wasn't anything crazy either but he did have some solid wins (Povetkin, Pulev, Jennings, Chagaev, Ibragomiv, Brock, Pianeta, and Wach who were all undefeated when the faced Wlad) he also beat Samuel Peter even though he got rocked around the ring lol but he was undefeated it was just before his title reign.

              I know I know Pianeta and Wach are whatever but they were both undefeated and it's ok for Fury and Dillian Whyte to fight them so I give Wlad a pass on that.

              Before Wlad it was definitely Lennox Lewis.

                Parker knows the score. Fury is the best HW of this generation and would be a match for any HW throughout history.

                      Lennox Lewis would destroy Fury.
                      Lennox knows how to fight dirty to counter those subtle gypsy tactics.
