Many of the greats fought substandard defences …. but (for the greats) only when they had cleaned out their divisions and there was nobody else to fight.

A true great fighting man would have made the fight happen, to prove who #1 is, and not hide behind bleating about lawyers and promoters. Fury has recently mightily impressed me as a boxer, but this is really not a good look for him or the way he will be judged by posterity …..
