    Boxrec have the worst points system in the world for ranking fighters too. Absolutely cluesless, its just based on the opinions of the editors.

    Oh really?

    Use there system to work out fighters ratings. They dont add up most of the time.

    So you think there is a secret agenda among the boxrec editors to make Fury a top P4P fighter and better than all the welter weights?

    Or could it be that he had a very good win over a very good fighter?

    No Im just saying there point system is flawed and in some cases just plain wrong.

    I personally wouldnt have him top 10 P4P as I dont think hes the best heavyweight which is a poor division but have no problem if people have him in there as he just beat Wlad. I also wouldnt have Canelo as number 1. How have they got Garcia behind Khan considering he has fought more, and against better opposition since beating Khan

    You lot are just very stubborn. Iv seen people say that Haye and Povetkin are still great hopes.

    They have very short memories because both did nothing against Wlad. The active one got battered by a cruiserweight and scraped a MD against him!

    How can they be any better than a boxer who has exceeded what they have done?

    Wilder?

    Joshua? hes just squeeked past a british level fighter that was out pf boxing for 2 years Hes years away from being anything.

    Its funny because before Tyson beat Wlad you all said and agreed and its pretty undeniable that Wlad was the best of the division, he wasnt slowing down, hes leagues above everyone else and there is no one out there that can touch him.

    Not only that but none of you rated or rather wanted to rate Tyson, you hated him. He was a fat lazy bum with no power and was getting sparked early.

    Your opinions got turned on their heads and you are still trying to come to terms with being so very very wrong and now very revisionist that the win means nothing and there ARE other heavyweights who were better than Wlad Its ridiculous!

    If noone rated Fury why did someone back him to win a world title in 2015?

    I didnt think he'd beat Wlad but I though he had a good chance. Sure how could someone who got a gift against Big John McDermott ever be considered the best heavyweight. I mean Joshua just squeaked past a British level fighter but at least the result wasnt debatable.

    Fury has beaten one good heavyweight and whether he just caught Wlad on a bad day is yet to be seen. As I said I can see plenty of heavies beating him and am pretty certain hes not a massive fav over any of boxrecs top 5 heavies.
