woopydalan said:How can you say that Fury has had a more successful career than Usyk in terms of competitive accomplishments? He became lineal champion by defeating a 40 year old over-the-hill Wladimir Klitschko, who Anthony Joshua subsequently knocked out in Wlad's next fight and retired. Then Fury held lineal champion for all those years fighting WHO? Derek Chisora? He had a trilogy against Deontay Wilder who was considered a boogeyman at the time, but in retrospect had a padded record beating lesser competition. Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang exposed Deontay Wilder and diminishes the value of the wins by Tyson Fury. Fury ducked fighting Usyk and Anthony Joshua for YEARS to hold his WBC title. He STILL hasn't fought Anthony Joshua even though that is one of the biggest money fights to be made. He probably will now take that fight since AJ is shot psychologically as was seen last weekend against DuBois.
The TLDR to me about Tyson Fury is that he has carefully maneuvered his career to make it look better than it actually is.
Usyk became undisputed champion in both the cruiserweight division and heavyweight division. That alone cements him as a Hall of Famer. He's fighting guys while having major physical disadvantages because he is a smaller heavyweight, yet still winning.
