Can't think of a bigger win for a while.
Again well done Ross and well done to the new champ.
Right Al, thankyou!

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.
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.
Got nothing to do with being an underdog.

Name me one win as good as this on anyone elses record since Douglas?

Who has beaten a unified fighter who had been so dominant for so long?
Of course it's got something to do with being an underdog.otherwise why would you mention Douglas?
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?

To be fair it doesn't really matter , fury is hw champ and that's all that matters.
