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

[Master]

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.

[Dark Lord Al]

The fact is the champion landed 4 punches per round,you have to ask as the champ had been koed 3 times many years before ,what was the challenger doing while the 4 punches flew his way ? The answer is winning a close boring fight.

[ross]

Wladimir knew full well what he was up against with Tyson amd was as prepared as he could be. He didnt throw many punches because he knew what would happen and how good Tyson is. He under estimated his losses but not Tyson. He was forced in to taking this fight, if Tyson hadnt have been mandatory Wlad would have chased Wilder instead.

[Dark Lord Al]

I think the question remains why did the fight go 12 round when Wlad landed 4 punches per round ? it also finished 115-112 which is hardly a landslide win. That kind of output is pathetic and the fight was as bad as Wlad v Haye , you can only beat what is in front of you but as a paying PPV fan this fight stunk the place out and I'm sure I'm not the only one who think so. Wlad has to prove he isn't totally shot and can output more per round at the age of 39/40.

Wlad wont prove anything against Fury because Fury is too good.

If you want to see Wlad win by KO put him in with Wilder.

Exactly. Everytime Fury upped the pressure in the fight, Wlad wilted and started to flail. Had fury put on the gas he would have knocked Wlad spark out. I think this time he will spark Wlad out!

Look, its one thing to say that the Orgs are bending Fury over the park bench and treating him quite different then they treat other champions. Hell, even the fake and frauds get treated better then he does. Why? Cant say specifically. Maybe they all hate the Irish.

Its quite another to even hint that this was some kind of glorious performance cause it wasn't. The outcome had more to do with what Wlad didn't do. One can give Fury credit for that also I suppose but if that's so then it would fall on some kind of brilliant performance taking advantage of that. Wlad was paranoid to throw anything and instead of capitalizing that Fury landed a dismal 86 punches in a 12 round fight. Wlad landed 52. In short, there was no turning it up.

Fury did what he had to do and deserves big credit for going to Wlads hometown and taking the tin but some perspective is in order even if its the upset of the decade or whatever.

[Dark Lord Al]

Wlad needs to show some desire , some punch output and that he isn't totally shot at 39.

He could do that against the other belt holders. The reason he will never do it against Fury is because Fury is too good.

Perspective? :-) What's that?
