Fury may be oafish, outspoken and obnoxious.... but at least he earned his shot at the HW title (rather than begging for it)..... AND..... he took full advantage of it.
just playing devils advocate, why did fury deserve it more than haye?
He didn't. Even Ross admits that four time world champion Haye had already eclipsed Fury's achievements prior to the Wlad fight. Wlad avoided Haye and thought (wrongly) that Fury would be a simple walkover.

Controversial though it may seem I think Haye threw more hayemakers, overhand rights, power shots in his Wlad fight than Fury. Despite insisting he was a fighting man to his bones Fury had already hugged and wrapped up Wlad in the first round as a clear indication of how the 'fight' would pan out. I am not criticising him it was a good plan, but fair is fair.
Tyson landed more punches than Haye!

Also, Wlad was a lot more cnservative against Fury because there was more risk and danger involved as Fury was connecting whenever he tried anything.

Neither fight will go down in the annals of Greatest HW Fights Ever, but fact is Fury did what he had to do to beat Wlad, while Haye did not. Both probably broke world records for trash talking as far as Wlad's concerned, but only Fury backed it up. Beanz, Haye may have thrown a few strong right hands during the fight, but they were lost in the overall pathetic effort, crowned by "Toegate".
