Although it didnt for Holmes. Holmes never unified. There were other champs. Its harder to keep belts together than defend just one.

Maybe im only appreciating Wlad now because im being biased but its so predictable that before the fit Wlad was an all time great, in some writers top ten of all time! Now though, his division was piss poor. It might not have been a strong division but you still have to be good to defend those titles for that long and he also fought regularly, not like a once a year Mayweather.

Its dispicable how poorly Tyson is being recieved by some of the media refusing to give him any credit. Someone has done a comparison of one of the zenglish papers sports pages and one picture is Haye pouting with Valuevs belt titled "Haye is just like Ali" the other is Fury holding 5 belts titled "heavyweight boxing reaches new low"! Its absolutely bizarre! You even have a moderator in here, even the same nationality reducing Tyson Fury the unified heavyweight chanpion of the world as a "peg seller"!
Well of course you are, I mean if Wlad was a bum then Tyson Fury winning the fight means nothing, but if you say "Wlad is great" then the win means a lot to Fury and since you're a huge Fury fan, it means a lot to you.....so of course you'd come to such a conclusion.....and so soon after the fight too......I bet if Wlad won that fight you'd have been singing his praises then too right I mean after all, a man with your knowledge of boxing, it was only a matter of time.


Oooooh tosh....you're not biased ross, you're a great scholar of boxing, not many people can say they know as much about boxing as you do.



Yes, they've treated Tyson quite quite poorly.....it's a shame really....they'd never treat a white or black or Hispanic heavyweight champion like that.......it's only because he's an Irish Traveller that they've treated him so poorly. That race.....will they ever catch a break? Soon as they have someone to cheer about, someone to look up to......the media just shits all over them because of the stereotypes fabricated about their culture. For shame on them
