You have a point. I put Tyson higher because of punchers chance and in his prime heOnetimeonly wrote: ↑28 Feb 2020, 15:59He should always be above Mike Tyson. He definitely could beat lewis.
really knew how to get the power to the target. Had Tyson fought Holyfield before he
fired Rooney and was ruined by King and went to jail, I think he would have beat him.

Re: Fury is the best HW since Lewis
I thought the rematch was a legit draw, unlike the first fight. Would only take a fraction more that a prime Holyfield could muster for the win.Onetimeonly wrote: ↑28 Feb 2020, 15:59He should always be above Mike Tyson. He definitely could beat lewis.

Lennox is a bit overrated in head-to-heads

Re: Fury is the best HW since Lewis
At the time of stoppage, scores were 58-56 in favor of Vitaly, and that was generous to Lewis who was hurt a couple times.

Re: Fury is the best HW since Lewis
They were all 4-2 but there was a swing round and it easily could'be been 3-3., not to mention the momentum was clearly with Lewis, Vit was reeling, aside from having his face just a pile of pulp
Re: Fury is the best HW since Lewis
I thought LL was better in the prior rounds before the stoppage and was beginning putting it on Vitali better than the first three/four rounds. Hard to judge a 5 1/2 round fight.boxing_rocks wrote: ↑28 Feb 2020, 16:52At the time of stoppage, scores were 58-56 in favor of Vitaly, and that was generous to Lewis who was hurt a couple times.

Doesn't matter if he was up 60-20.

Re: Fury is the best HW since Lewis
It does matter, because since the judges had it 4-2, Vitali was the real winner and it doesn't matter that he was actually stopped and had his head punched off

Re: Fury is the best HW since Lewis
My mistake. I thought it was stopped in the 6th. Forget it was stopped after six.

Re: Fury is the best HW since Lewis
The funniest part is he also gets credit for his brothers much better wins and I read on here yesterday that he's underrated.
Re: Fury is the best HW since Lewis
They would have both been younger and so Lewis would still win.Blodhemn wrote: ↑28 Feb 2020, 16:37I thought the rematch was a legit draw, unlike the first fight. Would only take a fraction more that a prime Holyfield could muster for the win.Onetimeonly wrote: ↑28 Feb 2020, 15:59
He should always be above Mike Tyson. He definitely could beat lewis.
Also, Lewis won the second fight. They said so in the ring and everything.

There has got to be a dozen threads where someone is exaggerating Vit's accomplishments or conflating the brothers' records.Onetimeonly wrote: ↑28 Feb 2020, 17:17 The funniest part is he also gets credit for his brothers much better wins and I read on here yesterday that he's underrated.
Re: Fury is the best HW since Lewis
Lewis vs Holy? I thought Lewis won both and the first fight by a larger margin. To be fair, I think Holy was 3/4 years from his absolute peak. Lewis was in the midst of his prime. And LL is my fav HW of all time. A peak to peak fight would have been a much better fight whereby Holy would have made Lewis engage much more.
Re: Fury is the best HW since Lewis
Fury the best since Lewis? Guess he temporarily has what Ruiz temporarily had when he KO'd Joshua.

Lol who was saying that about Ruiz?
Re: Fury is the best HW since Lewis
Go peruse Dag's old rankings thread shortly after Ruiz TKO'd AJ.

Re: Fury is the best HW since Lewis
He ranked Ruiz as the best since Lewis, or just 1 at the time? Big difference

Not quite that far,. Just the accolades bestowed upon him from some posters.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑28 Feb 2020, 21:28 He ranked Ruiz as the best since Lewis, or just 1 at the time? Big difference
