    Nobody give klitchko the credit he deserves.
    He is a legend, one of the greatest boxers of all time.
    He wasn’t exciting or something special, but he was as big a man as ever boxed, he was also textbook perfect.
    He was a great traditional boxer, worked a heavy jab and could go the distance, it’s almost impossible to win against such a patient fighter with that ability and size.
    It’s why Lennox walked away when he did, he’d have had to fight this guy over and over, he beat his big brother and retired, he was old but wasn’t by any man’s struggling like others his age, it was the wisest retirement in history.
    Klitchko was a boxing machine and Lennox wouldn’t have gained anything by fighting him.
    Lennox retired at the right time before he became a punch bag like so many before him.

    The idea that Tyson Fury would have had a problem with David Haye is truly ridiculous. Fury is too big, too slick and we know he can really take a punch. Based on what was in evidence in that Klitschko fight, Haye would not have been able to get to Fury and, even if he did, I doubt he could finish him. At cruiser weight he was formidable. At heavyweight, he was highly selective and, mostly, a good salesman.

      Fury would get decimated by a lot of boxers from that era and before, but Haye definitely wasn't one of them.
      Prime Vlad would have destroyed him, and he wasn't even the best Klitschko brother. The best one should have beat Lennox Lewis only for a cut to end him - and Lewis himself would have made mincemeat of Fury.
      Fury is incredibly lucky he's around when the HW division is by far the worst it's ever been for him to be seen as a decent fighter. A cruiserweight holds 3 of the belts, and Fury won his from a guy that can't box yet was still undefeated in 40 fights. The division is an absolute joke now, there's not one of them you could throw back in time that would have even made a Ring top 10 ranking list, and that includes Fury, there were plenty of better 'big' men around in the 80s and 90s that were nothing but journeymen - still had a better CV than Fury will ever have though.

      @petermaurer7359 Frank and Tyson changing the game as usual!
      Luke "Willy Wonka" Fury's Resume:
      -Took PEDs to beat a 40 year old klitschko on points. Tried to pay a farmer £25,000 to say it was contaminated boar balls
      -Beat a guy three times who's own best win was a 75 year old Luis ortiz
      -Beat Dillan "The Uppercut Snatcher" Whyte who's chin is a magnet for uppercuts
      -Only three notable names on his resume. The rest a string of cab drivers, uber eats deliverymen, mcdonalds workers, etc
      -Lost to Essex Scaffolder John Mcdermott. Chinned by cruiserweight Steve Cunningham.
      -Uses his 300lbs sweaty gypsy man b00bs to tire opponents
      -One mandatory title defense in his entire career. More retirements than title fights and defenses combined.
      -Undisputed, undefeated Social media callout king.
      -Ducked USYK to become willy wonka and sell Gypsy King chocolate bars with five golden tickets to an exhibition fight against an MMA fighter who's never boxed, with NO knockdown rules.

    Haye shouldn't have retired.
    His career wasn't buried at all.
    Wladimir was close to unbeatable at this point.
    He was in his physical prime and had Emmanuel Steward in his corner, someone he desperately needed against Fury and AJ.
    Haye was a brilliant boxer, and there's footage of him absolutely embarrassing Wilder in sparring.
    Wladimir was just incredible at this time, and is still hugely underrated.
    People don't want to admit his greatness, just compare Wladimir there to AJ, they're both the same size, but Wladimir's movement is just so much better, for a guy his size to bounce around against an excellent opponent for 12 rounds is something no one else has ever done - Fury's the only one to come close, although he was on steroid in some of his fights.
    Emmanuel Steward said Wladimir was the most accurate and powerful single punch knockout artist in history and had the best balance, footwork, and jab in history.
    He also said he's the most athletic boxer ever and more talented than Lennox Lewis.
    This comes from a trainer who's trained 41 champions in total and predicted that Fury and Wilder would be future world champions ling before they were.
    He said Wladimir was more talented, but Lennox was the best fighter he ever trained because Wladimir was too hesitant to throw punches and always needed to be motivated to throw punches.
    And that's exactly why he lost against Fury and AJ - he didn't throw punches against Fury for 11 rounds and didn't finish AJ when he was hurt.
    Emmanuel is a great man who was taken from us far too soon.

      Not sure how dirty of a move it is in boxing but forcing your opponent to bear your body weight can be quite exhausting I imagine.

      A slightly different sport but Paulo Costa's wine drinking comes to mind. Has there ever been a good excuse for losing a fight? You have all the time in the world to talk before a fight but you need to shut up once you get your ass kicked. There's no excuses in boxing. Not by the Real Ones.

      Speaking of excuses I would be wrong to not mention Deontay Wilder and his costume fail excuse which he then doubled down on with a poisoned drink farce. It appears that dumb excuses are international.

    Haye had speed and he had power. He had a chance against Vlad because of those things. BUT he was afraid to get in and mix it up like Brewster, Purrity and Sanders - the only guys to beat Vlad in his prime - had to do. Instead he ran away all night and tried to pick up points here and there, which didn't work. And was a sad conclusion to all the sh*t he'd been talking.

    Fury seems to have been trying to model himself on Haye's verbal game. Not likeable but bankable.

      Fury a LOT more charming than Haye.

    Two different levels of boxing skill. Haye didn't have a prayer.

    Dr. Steelhammer beat Haye down just by saying "Flashy Flash" with crazy eyes.
