        Yeah, I just got Redeemer on this one. Maybe y'all didn't pay attention as well as you thought?

        I can't tell if dude lies on purpose or is just ******.

        Their fight was announced in January, happened in Feb, Washinton was ranked on or before November 2016, at the time Wawrzyck was Wilder's scheduled opponent.

          Well, travel back to 2015/6 when they were then. WTF kind of ****** is that?

          Mormeck's suck ass once fought for the titles too. Y'all like to pretend it's 2012 too or is that **** only fun in the teens?

            Probably not. I tend to pay more attention to independent rankings than the alphabet orgs.

              I have no problem with this match....I have no problem with boxers boxing one another. It's not a huge mismatch and Fury needs to stay busy.

                That's fair, most them dudes would have been lucky to be on a TBRB ranking at all.

                  Anthony Joshua seems to be held to a higher standard of performance than Tyson Fury.
                  I was talking about Otto Wallin in general, not specifically as an opponent for Tyson Fury. I don't have any desire to see Fury-Wallin 2 and yes I would rather see Fury face an Oscar Rivas or Andy Ruiz instead.

                    I wouldn't call a top 15-20 guy mediocre but yes, he still lost decisively to Fury. He did do better than expected though.

                      Don't be like that. I'm sure you Fury fans hold Otto in high regard.
