Have The WBA Just stripped Fury too? Look at this!!

[Dark Lord Al]

Where did I say hes the next Mayweather?

Hes already one up on Mayweather in his career path anyway, beating Klitschko is better than beating Gerano Hernandez.

I said his career will build like Mayweathers (you can clearly see I said that but chose to interperate ad you please) where not many took much notice at the start of their career but as time goes on he will be huge.

You made the comparison between Fury and Floyd.

So what you meant was - in say 10 years time Fury will be boxing's biggest superstar, still unbeaten and the richest fighter on the planet? Fair enough, time will tell.

At the moment Fury has to prove he's not Buster Douglas.

I'd stop bringing up the PPV thing if I was you. If you're gonna judge fighters by the speed they achieved PPV status then AJ has become a PPV fighter in 2 years. Fury is yet to be the A-side on a major promotion.

Yes he has to prove it wasn't a flash in the pan like buster, let's face it wlad landed 4punches per round and went 12 rounds , this is a fighter who had been stopped 3 times in the past and the last time was 11 years ago.
You can only beat who is in front of you but wlad is 39 not exactly in his prime so let's not get carried away yet.

There is a massive difference between Mike Tysons camp in the lead up to Douglas and Wladimir Klitschkos camp for Fury.

Mike Tyson was all over the place, had sacked the tram that brought him success, was shagging prostitutes, getting drunk and high. Not training properly, getting piblicly dropped by sparring partners.

Klitschko on the other hand had all the reporters dismissing Furys chamces after watching the champ train, seeing all the facilities and sparring partners money can buy. Wladimir was focussed and professional and supposedly unbeatable. Big, big difference!

Wlad wasnt old overnight, he was still quick on his feet. He just couldnt figure out how to hit Tyson without getting hit himself pure and simple. As I said it would be before hand.

Only those who thought Tyson didnt stand a chance are the ones comsidering it may have been a fluke becuase just like Klitschko couldnt on the nigt, they just cant get their heads round it.

Also, now we are supposed to believe the division is wide open. If your counting belts and not actually who is clearly the best then maybe. Before the fight everyone said Klitschko beats everyone, now Tyson has beaten him people still think Tyson is easily beatable regardless of how effortlessly he beat Klitschko.

Read the stats and facts , fury landed an average of 7 punches per round and went the distance with a guy who had been stopped 3 times , 11 years later he loses on points?
Wlad did underestimate fury for sure , however landing 4 punches per round and finishing losing 115-112 isn't a champion going out on his shield.
Wlad was pathetic in his losing effort , the fight was a stinker and as I've said the most expensive 12 Ppv for punches landed ever.

One good win doesn't make you an all-time great. Upsets have happened throughout history and always will. To become an all-time great you have to back it up, you need a body of work.

Unless Fury backs up his win by beating his fellow top rivals he'll be seen as nothing more than a one hit wonder - hence Buster Douglas.

A better analogy would be Leon Spinks should he lose.

Great call buster beat a prime unbeaten champ , both fury and spinks beat an ageing fighter.

The odds for Fury to win were nothing like Douglas or Spinks.

It was considered by those who know what they are talking about that Tyson had a very good chance of winning because hes good, not because Klitschko would be unprepared.
