Glazkov is no contender

A couple years ago I watched his fight with Malik Scott and felt Scott got robbed with that draw.. Then this past weekend Glazkov gets another gift over the 38 year old cunningham. Someone's protecting this guy..

I've been very tired, watching Czar vs USS, but that could've gone either way or nah? Against Scott, there was NO way, Glazkov would get a draw, or even a W. Didn't see the Rossy fight, but somehow i wonder why he's still undefeated. Same with Tyson Fury.

Fury is miles better than Glazkov mate. There are no disputed or close decision on his record in the last five years. He's dominated everyone he's fought since 2010; bar the Cunningham fight. But he still stopped him which is a lot more than Glazkov could manage.

When Fury won controversially against McDermott he gave him a rematch and knocked him out.

Fury is nothing like Glazkov.

Glazkov looks just as good (or bad) as any of the other heavyweight pretenders that have been paraded before us in the past decade.

Nah. Povetkin, Chagaev, Chambers, Haye, Fury, Wilder, and several others I can think of were all better than Glazkov. This guy has fought two men who are more or less fringe contenders. One of whom is a 38 year old former cruiser, while the other was a 33 year old on the comeback trail with no power and couldn't get a clear legit win against either of them. Hell Derek Chisora knocked one of them out in his very next fight.

Right, he is just not big and strong enough and he can't compensate it with speed which is average or anything else.

Keeping in mind that everything is relative in regard to the heavyweight division (it IS perhaps the worst it has ever been), Cunningham is no easy out. Hell, Fury had to foul him in order to get him in position to KO him.

That said, I think Glazkov is living a charmed life in the division...

I still wonder how Fury is still undefeated. Match him up with Glazkov! One 0 finally has to go.

Agreed.

He looked average against someone average. He is probably at his fighting level now, as soon as he goes against someone half decent his 0 will GO. :box:

Agreed. Fury is bigger, funnier, more entertaining, and above all more talented.

Tyson Fury is undefeated because he beat all of his opponents.

I think there are only 5 worthy heavyweights, Wladimir, Povetkin, Fury, Wilder and Joshua. After that the rest are just selected opponents.

Povetkins is still probably 2, fights with Fury or Wilder would be 50-50s IMO. I think Fury v Wilder is a don't know who would win and whilst we know Wlad beats Povetkin, Fury & Wilder fighting Wlad would be interesting and a chance of an upset.

Anthony Joshua in 18-24 months will be the new King I think.

Glazkov, Jennings, Takam, Pulev, Stiverene are all close pick ums between each other. Largely they are dull tactical fights.

There are few who dont back Joshua .. Though its difficult to gauge how fighters will cope as they progress .. (thinking of David price and his dificulty as he moved up) but I have a good feeling with Joshua

not being disrespectful but the latter you mentioned will probably be gate keepers for boxers like AJ
