HUGE FIGHT! Pumped for this. Unmissable fight.

Leaning towards Wilder for some reason. Just a feel as of right now.

Both men are phenomenal fighters in their own ways.

Heavy Weight Greatness.

Wilder gonna come out blazing, Fury gonna dodge and slip.
Wilder tires out.
Fury goes to work after the 5th.

So it's a 4 fight main card/PPV, and the 4 fights are all HW fights. Can't complain.

Tyson too high.

Foreman too low. What he achieved is still criminally underrated.

Tyson too high.

If we're talking cultural impact then I'd always have Tyson top two. I grew up in a tiny isolated town pre-internet and the only two boxers everyone knew at school were Ali and Tyson.

Maybe but if we are rating him as a fighter then he’s not second to Ali. George Foreman’s resume is better. And easily better. He’s number 2 for mine.

It’s only WBC’s ratings tho. Of course Tyson is gonna be there for holding it with so many defences for so long.

Tyson is as famous as Michael Jackson or John Lennon in the english speaking world.

Yep, I reckon he's one of the few sportsmen who transcends their sport into the greater public consciousness.

Whether that deserves elevated ranking from the diehards is open to interpretation, but I'm of the opinion that anyone who puts a sport on the map for casuals deserves a lot of respect.

Sliding doors but if Foreman beat Ali as expected at the time he is probably on the way to being the best heavyweight ever .
At the time he was almost viewed as unbeatable .

 

[BotsMaster]

Re-watched the first fight and still think Wilder should have won that.

Funny Fury calling him Beyoncé Wilder.
If Fury can stay on his feet he wins easy.
