Tyson Fury has quickly become the most overrated fighter in boxing.

[Combat Talk Radio]

No, that's being the favourite before the fight

Klitschko was most definitely not in his prime vs Fury

"At The End Of The Day", the thread title says MOST overrated.

Crawford has no win that comes close. Klitschko was THE GUY.

Crawford is easily... EASILY most overrated.

Cool but that's not what my post was about

its like people want to forget that fury was banned for two years for PEDs. his win against klitschko was vacated, and he was stripped of his belts. you can claim he beat klitschko, prime or whatever, but not without PEDs.

its nice to say he beat klitshcko, but he didn't. the only good names on his resume are wilder and chisora, and wilder was just a hype machine. the only reason why ANYONE would say fury is better than AJ is marketing or just plain subjective conjecture.

Klitschko barely lost a round in 10 years before Fury beat him. Are you new, are you trolling or something?

Klitschko was near 40 and only had one other fight after Fury. Are you ****** or something? He clearly wasn't in his prime.

[joseph5620]

Klitschko was not expected to lose that fight. That's prime.

Regardless, Crawford has no win that comes close.

Being favored has nothing to do with being in your prime. That's just ridiculous.


I don't why you keep mentioning Crawford when he has nothing to do with what I said.

Fury is a wannabe & gets far too much credit for his "boxing skills" & isn't as slick as he or many think.

The dude is just an oversized oaf who happens to know the basics to boxing, which has been JUST enough to get him by, so far!

Fury is a clown & regardless of what he accomplishes, he will ALWAYS be the big bigot that punched himself in the face!

Don't believe there has ever been any Heavyweight great that ever punched themselves in the face!

There's a vid on YouTube of wlad punching himself in the face also. Can't remember who he was fighting at the time tho.

Other than the fact that he was contractually obliged to.

Fury did to Klitschko, what Haye did to Fury - apart from the whole taking nandrolone, mental breakdown, ******* and alcohol abuse thing.

Those are separate issues... If Fury, Vlad, or Haye had fought in a different era, depression, a bad toe, a hangnail, the loss of vision in one eye (Greb) would not have stopped them. It is understood and why it is ever so remarkable that fighters like Robinson had incredible winning streaks.

In this era fighters are more inclined to fight less, for more money and try to protect their health... that is all fighters pretty much and not just Fury.

How is Fury being contractually obliged to fight Fury, not the same issue? You said that Fury didn’t need to because he beat him wide (which is true) but he signed a contract which he didn’t honour through all of the personal issues that i mentioned

It's like people don't read. Or can't.


The thread title says MOST overrated. Fury is not MOST overrated. Not by a long shot.

If you want to say "he's one of many overrated fighters" that's a debatable opinion.

MOST? No, that's Crawford.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Klitschko was near 40 and only had one other fight after Fury. Are you ****** or something? He clearly wasn't in his prime.

But the was THE champ. His last defeat before that was in 2004!

You are a troll and you go to my ignor list right now.
