There has to be time flowing before we look at this fight and compare it to something like Lyle versus Foreman. The fight was entertaining, it had moments of drama, of skill, which often has to be sussed out from what looks like sloppiness, and a show of will power that was fantastic.
    A show of willpower ..two chinny guys knocking each other over ..Ali certainly wouldn't have touched the canvas if he was in there with either of them

      Try skilled fighters, the slickest wizard in the history of the division vs the most deadly puncher the planet has ever known. Outside of Tyson. High level boxing. A poetic bloodbath.
      Tommy morrison was more dangerous than wilder ..wilder has fought nobody of note and gifted a belt and also started boxing at 25 odd

      Its a trash win but you eat it up

      You're A more dangerous fighter if you can set it up and land...wilder is the worst heavyweight champion of all time

        Wilder Started boxing I his 20s and was gifted a vacant belt...it's not the huge win people like to make out it is
        Its a weak division... I get an amazing amount of pushback when trying to get people to empirically understand what you just rationalized... Thats a mouthful let me explain: You can watch fighters from different eras on Youtube. You can look at a fighter from the eighties, list the things they do in the ring... things like, punches (what punches do they throw), movement, (how well they move, how natural they look), fighting in the different ranges (can they do it). You can take a relatively succesful fighter in the 80;s (for example) like Tucker. Compare him to Helenius, or Ruiz. Its all right there to see.

        You can look at stone cold punchers... Shavers, Lyle, much less Foreman. Shavers and Lyle could sleep you with both hands, could fight at all ranges, moved well in the ring. Compare that to Wilder.

        As the young uns say these days "it is what it is" I mean its heavyweight boxing, it was an exciting fight where willpower was exemplory, and Fury does move well and have skills in the ring, but at the end of the day this division is very weak and needs guys in the rear to fight, and establish who will become great. Like the Sanchez fight, it exposed someone, good, thats what we need. The prospects have to get in there and fight it out, then Fury has to do what Lewis did for fighters like Grant... give them a chance!

          Your talking about an ATG in the most competative division there ever was for the heavyweights...Have some perspective.
