Furys belt collection is getting silly

We're praising Fury for being stripped now?
Plenty have won more than two fighter of the years from ring. Plenty have won more than two ring title fights.
Kinda like Pac's 8 divisions innit?Comment

Heavyweights? It’s only Fury and Ali. Maybe Patterson did it as well, I’m not 100% sure though.
If in the 100 year history of the ring only two maybe 3 have done it, it has to be impressive, no?Comment

If you’d have told me the clumsy kid who punched himself in the face on ITV would achieve what he’s achieved I’d have said you’re the biggest fool on the planet.
Fair play to Tyson, he’s done amazing to achieve what he has.Comment

That's fair on the FOTY, yes it is, and yes both those performances are impressive. About 1/3 the HW champs become FOTY twice or more.
The x2 champ though is less so. He won both of his two title fights and got stripped between them for sitting on ass. No, no one ever did that before. Plenty have more than two title fights though. That's the one that's a bit Pacish because it's alone but it's also a bit of semantics. Especially from a lot who talks so much about never losing X in the ring.
FOTY x2 or more:
Louis
Marciano
Charles
Patterson
Johanson
Ali
Frazier
Foreman
Tyson
Holyfield

That referee in the first Ruiz fight didn't get the memo that Joshua is allowed to hang out and rest on the ropes as long as he wants after a knockdown and 8 count.Comment

Any idea if he displays his lesser titles in another case? I quite like the BBBoC, commonwealth, and EBU belts. Historically respectable. Guys like Langford, Godfrey, Gains, you know, dudes who probably would have been world champ if the world champ fought them.
If there is any pretense title that bugs me being a pretense title it's the BE titles. Especially Langford. If I was Fury I'd be proud to hold both Langford and Johnson's titles. That's pretty ****ing cool.

I'm not sure tbh, I know he used to keep the IBF hidden in a draw at the bottom.Any idea if he displays his lesser titles in another case? I quite like the BBBoC, commonwealth, and EBU belts.
