Fury fight-anybody remotely interested?

Louis fought everybody that was available to him and was so dominant his fights where known as bum of the month. Then you have Johnson who also fought everybody available to him whilst being the most hated man in America. You also have to factor in the times when these two fighters fought. Do you honestly think Ali with his big mouth and being a racist who despised White people would have got away with what he said when Johnson and Louis where fighting ? Opinions are just that opinions but people forget what the political climate was like back in the day when the likes of Johnson and Louis fought .

That's what I'm getting at, the fighters available to face Ali were of better quality than Louis or Johnson's opponents. A good resume is about the names on your list, Ali faced better fighters than both Louis and Johnson at the end of the day IMO.

This Wallin character is rated 46 on Boxrec so theres 45 better fighters to choose from......were they all busy that night ! Fights like this are embarrassing pantomime fights that belong in WWF

I'm sure max will be watching it. Knob in hand throwing himself around the living room..

If Fury cant get opponents like that out of there when in a desperate situation he has problems,personally i think he is tailor made for Joshua who is an elite finisher pushing forward under very litt

Probably the most complete fighter today at Heavyweight has yet to have his first fight in the division that's how bad this era is,there is not one stand out fighter at Heavyweight today. It will certainly be interesting to see how Usyk does perform now he has moved up to mix it with the big boys .

I personally think usyk will be HW world champion within 4 fights once he moves up. As long as all the political bollox, promoters etc don't pull their usual stunts

I don't care what BoxRec says I've got every fight of his on film and I'm just about certain he's listed as 5'11 in every bout plus in every pic of them together Tyson is as tall if not taller. 

Tyson was the bigger fighter, to try and argue otherwise is plain silly. 

 

Ok so boxrec says it......here Wikipedia says it.......

And for good measure here he is stood next to a measuring board that says just over 5,8 but he might be slumped a bit

OK clever clogs, we can all play that game. 

 

You're still forgetting the liitle fact that Tyson looked just as tall if not taller than Frazier when they are stood together. The point is there was really nothing between them height wise.

You're still forgetting the fact that Tyson was a good 10lb-15lb heavier in their prime, if you try and tell anyone Frazier was a bigger HW than Tyson you would be laughed out the building.

Resume wise he's the greatest no doubt at HW but there's a few that would have been very dangerous for him H2H. Joe Louis, Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes. 

maybe even Cooper, some dodgy extra corner time on a "damaged" glove saved Ali there.

Tbf it only have him a few extra seconds, he was also given smelling salts to help him come around. 

LOL, I should have read all the thread before commenting. I thought the gloves were deliberately damaged and therefore should have resulted in disqualification, the recovery powers of Ali are in no doubt.

Chris eubank had a phenominal chin, but ali 'should've' been knocked out AT LEAST a dozen times lol. Along with marvin hagler, the two best chins ever.

Mind you, saying that, tua was just as good lol

McCall's was even better. ? He's fighting shortly in his mid 50's.
