Originally posted by JLC View PostI respect it. There is also sometimes an issue where the fighter is paid too much and does not generate the money they are supposed to. Then that dries up budget dollars which prevents other good fights being made. So I get what you’re saying her.

Originally posted by Roberto Vasquez View PostI have been very critical of Tyson Fury but look at the quality of fighters he has beaten! How can anyone argue he is not the best of all time?
I hope his new deal includes a rematch with Tom Schwarz.Last edited by OldTerry; 06-04-2020, 10:23 AM.

Originally posted by Roberto Vasquez View PostBut did they beat anyone of the quality of Tim Schwarz and Francesco Pianeta? or Derek Chisora? I doubt it. Fury's record shows he is the best of all time. Every fight he has is against a boxer at their best
George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Jimmy Ellis, Sonny Liston and Floyd Patterson
Among those George Foreman defeated were:
Joe Frazier (twice), Jimmy Ellis and Michael Moorer. His KO% was 95%
Among those Evander Holifield defeated were:
Dwight Muhammad Qawi, Mike Tyson, Michael Dokes, Larry Holmes and Riddick Bowe
Among those Mike Tyson defeated were:
Trevor Berbick, Pinklon Thomas, Larry Holmes, Donovan (Razor) Ruddock and Frank Bruno
Among those Lennox Lewis defeated were:
Frank Bruno, Roy Mercer, Evander Holifield, David Tua and Vitali Klitschko
All of those in the defeated ones mentioned were better than Tim Schwarz and Francesco Pianeta, and Derek Chisora.

Originally posted by Roberto Vasquez View PostI mean that's subjective. It just makes me wonder who you expect Tyson Fury to beat?? He's already beaten a lot of the best fighters outside the top 20
Who do I expect Tyson Fury to beat? My answer is any of the heavyweights currently fighting. My opinion is subject to change as Fury ages or if he reverts back to past habits. Also have to consider that some phenom may appear on the scene.

If they generate the money by getting people interested enough to buy PPV or come to the fights, of course they should get it !
Same for the biggest pop stars, comedians, or performers of any kind. If they generate the money, where should it go instead other than their pockets ?

Funny how he’s considered the atg Only after defeating Wilder who was and is being called a bum by the same people who give Fury this echelon
