random question i was thinking of

how many times in a row could fury fight and beat wilder before you would no longer give him any credit for the additional wins


its come up for other rematches too, where a guy already won the last fight clearly and you wonder what doing it again should add to his resume/credit

It's just something that has to be done. It may come as a surprise to Hearn fanboys but Hearn doesn't run the American legal system and constantly going on about "shirley winkle" to sound funny has come back to bite him on the arse. People in boxing warned him Finkle was a very clever man.
