    True and that's how people like David Haye got world titles, he now has to defend it against credible opponents before he can ever be considered a great as a previous poster mistakenly called him.

    Oh how I laughed!

    I would be undefeated for 12 years if I'd have fought the calibre of fighter that Klitschko has. It has been a terrible division for years, I know you can only fight what's in front of you, but still. Look at his record of opponents!

    Fury can fight south paw and orthodox and the constant movement in the ring and stance switching took away the only weapon Klitschko has which is his jab, that is why Klitschko looked so poor. I have long maintained that Klitschko is rubbish - by far and away the worst heavyweight champion I have seen in all the years I have watched boxing he's static, immobile and only has one weapon.

    You may not like Fury, but in the coming years he'll be looked back on as a great. There's not many heavyweights that can switch stances in the ring and be equally comfortable at either.

    Fury delivered in the ring exactly what he said he would deliver - World Titles and did it by making someone who hadn't lost in 10 years look like an amateur.

    He'll mainly be looked back on as a clown.

    He's the least graceful fighter I've ever seen and much of last nights fight was embarrassing to watch.

    I look forward to the day when the strong and technically gifted fighter Anthony Joshua becomes a World Champion we can all be proud of.

    I don't disagree. Some don't seem to think he deserves any credit. Like in any sport you can only beat them put in front of you.

    It's all part of the 'act'. It's what he did to get under the skin of Klitschko.

    The clean living Anthony Joshua that was found guilty for drug dealing?

    I wasn't knocking his achievement, he did what he needed to do, it just didn't stop me thinking he's a bit of a ****er who's **** to watch in a fight.

    Can't argue with that he did very well to win last night, unfortunately he did it in the most boring way possible and acted like an absolute cretin before and after which has taken the shine off his success.

    I'd be surprised if he held the belts for long, there are much better fighters than him coming up but he should enjoy it while he can and probably deserves a little more credit, even if he is a bellend!

    If Tyson wasnt English we'd all have turned the fight off after the first couple of rounds. It didnt get much better after that.

    Boxings getting its arse kicked by UFC, fights like last night are the reason why.

    I think you need to separate his showmanship from reality.

    I disagree. Ronda Rousey was beaten by Holly Holm. Whilst it was a head kick - she was undone by her inability to deal with Holms boxing skills.

    I watched the first couple of rounds then decided if I wanted to watch WWE, I would.

    Fair play to Fury for winning. Hardly entertaining though was it? Makes you wonder why people pay the ticket prices they do.

    The pre fight chumpathon he was on was like 2nd rate wrestling bollocks.

    I agree with Chazz, UFC is actual proper fighting, both male and female. That last night was just embarrassing.

    I think he's **** to watch as a fighter and even worse to watch outside the ring, I really don't need to seperate anything.

    Rousey believed her own hype and that of her entourage but she could have dealt with the boxing skills if they had prepared her properly for the fight

    Yeah because cannabis selling is ok and it never leads to pushing harder drugs does it <laugh> I'm pleased there's such a liberal view to drugs in the OLM household.

    You do as you seem to be confusing them.
