I did actually use this as an example of why you shouldnt all be writing Tyson off along with Clay v Liston.Of course it's got something to do with being an underdog.otherwise why would you mention Douglas?Got nothing to do with being an underdog.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!
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!
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.
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?
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?
McClellan was in his first fight at super middle against Benn and was never unified at middle.
Curry? I did say after Douglas v Tyson.
" Last win by any fighter better than this for Fury.
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."
It's like saying "has there ever been a bigger supporter of Fury that lives in Guernsey and name begins with R and ends with S and has an O and another S in it?
How about,
Pac beating Barrera?
Bradley beating Pac?
Marquez beating Pac?
Cotto beating Martinez?
Which of those was beating the best in the world and champ for 9 years and unified? None of them were as dominant in their division as Wlad was at heavy.
Has there ever been a better, more circular vowel than O? Maybe.......
Has there ever been a better Rugby World Cup winner in the past 7 years than the All Blacks?
