Im interested to know if any other fighter from any weight has had a better win than this since Douglas v Tyson where such a longstandng, dominant, P4P best, future great, unified champion has been beaten so emphatically in his own back yard.

Re: Last win by any fighter better than this for Fury.
This may qualify for a jog on a sentence.
Once the fog clears with some and they consider the question objectively, no matter how sloppy the fight was or how inactive the fighters were and given the chances Fury was given by 95% of the planet, the length of Wlads spot as commander and chief, the experience, comp level and so on LOL this has to rank right up there in greatest upsets of alltime imo and probably top 5 when considered rationally.

Re: Last win by any fighter better than this for Fury.
Fury won fair and square , and I may pick other fighters to defeat him ,however one thing I won't do again is take anything away from his achievement .
He deserves to earn big money however long his reign lasts , he hadn't fought anybody until last night and now he is the champ.
Can't think of a bigger win for a while.
Again well done Ross and well done to the new champ.

Right Al, thankyou!Originally Posted by Dark Lord Al
I wanst being a fan boy or anything like that. I could see his qualities and could see past his physique, talk and background.
Like I said, Liston v Clay!!
There is no win bigger than this at any weight since Douglas beat Tyson. Let that sink in.
The other heavyweight greats have no better win, Lewis, Holyfield. Nor do Mayweather and Pacquiao have a better win! Roy Jones, Oscar De La Hoya, none of them!
Tyson is getting better to!

Like Al says, it was a massive achievement and he deserves to be where he is. Like Al, I may not choose him to beat every HW out there, but until somebody proves any different, he is the No.1 in the division.Right Al, thankyou!

However, the reason you're calling it a bigger victory than the Mayweather, DLH, etc.etc. is because all those proven greats were never as big an underdog because everybody knew they were top class. Tyson did fantastic last night, but there's a long way to go.
I've seen most of the fight now (too bored to watch it all tbh) and I thought it was a superb performance by Fury compared to the rest of his career, and it's not his fault that the first 9 rounds were like Grounhog day. I struggled to give Klitschko any rounds really, I just don't think he could work Fury out, really poor.
That is full credit to Fury.

I mean, I could turn around and say "will Fury have a similar career to Douglas?"
In reality, Wlad is probably the only champ to lose his title after having held it for 11 years in recent times, so obviously it's about being long odds!
Was it a great performance-Yes
Was it better than Hatton's v Tzsyu?
Was it better than Honeyghan v Curry?
Was it better than Benn v McLennan?
So is it about Great Performance or is it about the odds?

Haye is in a very interesting place.
He would never beat Wlad so now he has a better chance against Fury and wilder.
Haye has timed this perfectly.

Re: Last win by any fighter better than this for Fury.
Youv got to be joking!
Haye couldnt do anything with Wlad and didnt win a round. Wlad couldnt do anything with Tyson amd was lucky to win a round!
You have just seen why Haye ran twice!
Hes been out 4 years? Hayes in a bad place in his own head. Tyson has just eclipsed Haye whole career with this one win!
These people.....

Re: Last win by any fighter better than this for Fury.
Bowe, Moorer, Jones, Nunn, Mosley, Chavez and Naseem were all unbeaten generally recognized ('unified') defending world champions in their divisions when they lost. And Jones, Mosley and Chavez were in the debate for the finest fighter on the Planet at the time of their defeats...Now whittle that down to who was unbeaten and defending champ at that weight for 9 years and had unified!
