The 2nd British fighter to win the Ring magazine fighter of the year is.....

You can assess the information different to that.

Fury is the first heavyweight to win for 19 years.

Maybe it shows how weak the heavyweight division has been in recent times, or maybe how strong the heavyweight division was in the past, or maybe the heavyweight division is no longer seen as the glamour divison, as it definitely was in the past.

I personally think its as much to do with America having little in the way of world class heavies over recent years. You need americans in their for their networks to throw promotion behind and create that "glamour" again.

I think its because wlad klit was allowed to cheat for so long

had they had have applied the rules to his fights his reign would have been a lot shorter

in fact he may never have won it when he did, he should have been dq'd early in the sam peter fight

maybe then other stars would have emerged

Yes he did hug and hold but if your good enough you shouldnt be allowing him to. Tyson didnt but everyone else did for the past 11 years.

Even Jennings an american fighter fighting in america with the ref not allowing it couldnt do anything and spent too much of the fight being too defensive to win any rounds. Wlad hasnt suddently become a one trick pony just because Fury was massively better than anyone wanted to give him credit for. If the fight had been postponed until February the general opinion would still be that Wlad is too good for everyone.
