Everyone seems to overlook how Fury struggled with Otto Wallin. If Wallin had the cut that Fury had, the fight would have been stopped. No question.

Nah, he went a further 14 fights unbeaten after that, it was Collins who ruined him, as he got inside his head.

Steve Collins is someone who is very underrated - beat Benn and Eubank twice in a row and only quit because Roy Jones jr kept on ducking him.

He had a lot of easier fights after Watson, with a couple of notable exceptions, yet only had a single knockout and one other stoppage before losing to Collins.
He'd only gone the full 12 rounds once before fighting Watson and 13 of his next 15 after the two against Watson went the distance.
It's a matter of opinion, of course, but I think that it got in his head, as he suggests.

Something of an aberration though, as he's not normally prone to cuts.
You're right, though. Turn the tables and Wallin's going home early.

Just seen this from Eddie Hearn https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/55253922 - apparently the plan is for Fury to face someone early next year and Joshua to beat Puluv and Usyk so their fight will be for all of the belts.

Never realised that this could be the first time that all 4 of the heavyweight titles are on the line - the WBO title wasn't considered a major title until 2007.

Maybe it would have, but either way I wouldn’t say he struggled with him. He won at least 9 rounds of that fight.
