BoxRec Forum HW Top 15 ranking - Tyson Fury

[oogiebe]

A bit extreme mate. You americans and your guns, jeez.

Oogiebe in his local betting shop.

It's an expression mate.

I know

[marvelous marv]

Fury to 1.

I have a feeling Fury vs Usyk will be announced after the Chisora fight so the ranking is just a short time place holder anyways.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Gonne keep this running, but it looks like the Gypsy King is gonna reclaim the throne!

[ironbeard]

Fury to #2.

[Finkel]

Fury #2.
I expect him to beat Usyk when all is said and done. But he never gave Klitschko the rematch, and as others posted that was so long ago when he was almost a completely different fighter.

So basically I'm judging it on beating Wilder twice and Whyte once. And for me, Usyk beating Joshua twice in the manner he did is more impressive.

Lineal is not synonymous with the best in the division, so I have no issue with him being at #2 until it is decided in the ring.

tyson fury, lineal

[Ruthless-RKO]

Do we go off most votes?

#1 has 18 votes, but #2 and out total is 14.

As of now, it averages out 1.84.. So technically closer to 2..

Or we can just go off most votes takes it?

There's still some that haven't voted. So there's no rush on though,

That average thing is BS. #1 has more votes than #2 and out combined. It doesn't get any more clear than that.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I agree it’s not always fair.

It’s impossible to do an average of 1, 2, and out… out isn’t a number.

Median is the way to do it anyway. Which results in fury number 1

(I voted usyk, and firmly believe he should be number 1, but if we are talking purely on interpreting these votes, fury should be number 1.

So how did you get the median?

It’s just the middle number.

So there’s a toatal of 32 votes, what’s the 16th vote starting from the top. Well it’s 1. (Or if you count the 16th vote counting from the bottom it’s also 1)

Yeh that’s it.

Will keep it open over the weekend..

Tbh. If all the ‘out’ voters just voted for #2, then that would have had more chance.

I guess the 'out' voters believe that we should treat his retirement as we would any other boxer
so until he gets back in the ring despite him already fighting this year. It shows the contrast of opinions and the development of unique forum opinions of a type of inactivity that we haven't seen since Miller's failed tests. It's the variety of perspective that you find when you have a democratic vote rather than a rely on autocratic organisations to tell you who is the most marketable as the best.

I do not understand the out votes. Yes he talked all kinds of crap about retiring yet never gave up his wbc belt. Fury fought 6 months ago and has another fight scheduled in 2 months.
If we are going by people talking crap about retirement then why is Helinius still rated?
Helinius stated he was retiring yet he has not been removed.
If it is just getting rid of Fury out of the ratings because we are tired of listening to his lies and hyperbole then at least admit it.
He is active, has been active, and more than likely will be active for some time

Helenius got voted out anyway after his loss. Even if he stayed in, we would have done a separate vote in it tbh.

In terms of Fury, I certainly think the fight will go ahead, as long as we don’t have any injuries.

As promised, we voted on him being back in as soon as he was next scheduled to fight.

[oogiebe]

1 is the overwhelming vote. The 'outs' are just haters. Even I say 1 and I can't stand Fury.

I somewhat agree with that..

Whoever they are don’t want to be known either because no one has commented ‘out’ or reasoned why.

[Heretic]

I voted Fury to #1. He is not that far apart from Usyk currently but he is more proven at HW. I would see beating Fury as the better HW win then beating Usyk at the moment. If Usyk would beat Wilder I would move him at #1. Beating Ruiz or Joyce would make them almost even.

This is a good example of why average is not good way to "solve" the vote. If one would count out as 16 and average the result Fury would end up somewhere around #6 Which i guess would not be good in any ones opinion

There are more votes for 1 then the other votes combined so it clearly is the way to go.

[tiny_acres]

Yes just hatred. I think the guy is a blow hard self centered egomaniac, but he is the
#1 heavyweight until he gets beat or has been inactive for more than 1 year.
I would actually pick Usyk and Joyce over Fury in head to head match ups right now.
But those have not happened and neither have Fury's accomplishments at heavyweight.

Voting Fury out makes zero sense

One of the many problems with the abc orgs is they need to act swiftly and call the bluff, if that's what it is when people retire, and strip the belts immediately.

They also need to enforce mandatories and immediately strip belts. It shouldn't matter what the boxer's name or $status is, but it does.

Money talks.

I mean WBC did do something about it.. they have him deadlines, had to formally retire etc..

[Ruthless-RKO]

Will close this tomorrow.

[brilo33]

he is number 1 until he is beat you don't have to like him but you cant be grudge him top spot and he fights different for different fighters no other fighter has had the skill to do that he's a one of, just cause he looks beatable and not your typical fighter means nothing , he is to me the best heavy weight bar none
