Fury beat Wlad in his own turf, with all the dirty tricks that he normally pulls and was comprehensively beaten. Fury the enough punches to win the rounds, the reason why Wlad did not punch was because he was afraid he was going to get knocked out. Respect where it is due.
Scraping the barrel?
On the previous couple of pages the discussion was about why Haye has such a big fan base. Having over 3X more twitter fans than the heavyweight champ of the world would strike me as relevant to the topic.
Only a complete and utter weirdo mental spastic would possibly get upset by someone pointing out a fact like that.
Only someone who is annoyed they have no other argument would use it;D
Someone discussing the popularity of a fighter provides a guide to the popularity of a fighter.
Where's the argument you pathetic imbecile?
@ross, I finally think I have a way of making you understand how it is with Fury. It's a bit long, but try to keep up.
When you were at school, you used to play conkers right? Now if you had a conker that had won 40 matches, and I had one that had won 2 matches , if I beat you, my conker took your conker's record and became a "43er".
THIS AIN'T FUCKING CONKERS!!! Yes, Wlad had built this reputation by consistently beating guys for over 10 years easily. But Fury doesn't take that. His belts yes, but his "legacy, or greatness" no.
Fury has had one very good win, and that's it. Now I give him total credit for that, I admit I didn't expect it. At the same time, not once did I say he would get KO'd in a few rounds.
But it's 1 VERY GOOD WIN. nobody's taking that from him, but he needs to carry on and beat a few others before he gets to the level YOU put him at.
Fury doesnt take his record no dont be numbskull...
He has proven hes better than the best is what he has done.
Get over it girls.
Its going to happen again and then he will beat the left overs clinging on to the scraps.
I don't think anyone can dispute that fury is the best heavyweight around
you could have the opinion that that someone else could/would beat him but at the minute he is the best, number one
we were discussing who has the biggest fan base though I thought, and he doesn't seem to me like he has that
yes his last fight was a big fight, but all wlads fights are big fights
his next fight is probably gonna be a massive fight if he fights wlad
can you really argue that its fury pulling in the fans though?
I have no idea how wlad pulls the fans by the way, his fights are always shit because of him
Well for someone who doesnt pull in the fans he got a bigger audience against Wlad than Haye did.
Explain that?
there was more fans in the stadium you mean?Quote:

I also give him massive credit for having the discipline to stick to an excellent game plan and I give even bigger credit to his trainer for devising the game plan.Quote:

I'm not saying he's not capable, but talk (you, not him btw) is cheap. You have to go and make your Legacy.
He's made a great start, but that is what it is, a start.
Where's this Fury got a bigger audience than Haye come from?
Both fights took place in 50,000 seat stadiums, as have lots of Wlad fights over the years.
There were reports that Haye-Wlad did a million Sky PPV buys, Fury-Wlad did 400k (less than AJ-Whyte). Haye-Wlad got the highest ever audience on German TV for boxing (16 million). Both fights got over a million viewers in America on HBO.
would fury fill the O2 against mark di mori after being out for 3 years with no undercard?
Shannon Briggs is in London hunting down Haye :)
Tell you what... if Haye can get the Lucas Browne fight done the UK could have 3 title holders soon.
Its definitely getting interesting again.
No, the Dusseldorf arena is 55,000 and was sold out.Quote:
