You do have your one hit wonders and we thank God for those exciting moments but there is no doubt that Tyson Fury is a one hit wonder.
Those are terrible examples...

Douglas was a gifted but lazy journeyman with losses. Mike Tyson was going through all sorts of shit and not training. Tyson Fury had fought his way in to position with 3 eliminators and forced Wlad to fight him. Wlad was also on top of his game unbeaten in 11 and head and shoulders above the rest of the division unlike Ali. Wlad dnt take Fury lightly, he tried every trick he could to slow him down including putting memory foam mattresses under the canvas! It was Wlads own promotion also. What Tyson Fury did was a huge achievement when you consider Wlad doesnt get out of shape and takes all his training canps seriously. This wasnt a faded old fighter who over looked a bum. This was a very good fighter fighting brilliantly to beat a well prepared focussed all time great.
