15 out of my ass I'd favor over Fury.
Dempsey KOs him
Norfolk KOs him
Sharkey KOs him
Maher KOs him
Johnson by UD
Lousi by UD
Ali by UD
Spinks by UD
Charles by UD
Vitali KOs him
Holmes by UD
Lewis by KO
Jones by UD
Byrd by US
Oh yeah, and little Tommy Burns and Rocky Marciano too. Both by KOs.
Tyson does not even really know how to punch. His fans, still, can not describe a phantom overhead until I teach them it, but they will tell me he is not open to it all day long.
bow forward at the waist to pull back and try to run away....yeah...there's answers for that.
On top of folks talking about how the division is sloppy, try counting the techniques they employee. The great evolution of boxing is limiting boxing down to a handful of basic punches and steps is it? If it was 1960 we'd call this guy slopzilla.
You can't be objective because you are a big time Fury hater surprised you didn't add Audley Harrison in there for good measure. 5 loss Chris Byrd really?
He is. But most heavyweights aren't good enough to make him look clumsy.
The worst HW era since the 80s
When a clumsy oaf can lay claim to being one of the best, you know the era is a laughingstock.
No one in history is outboxing Fury. Best chance of beating him are the smaller unconventional punchers like Marciano, Mike Tyson, Joe Frazier who can maybe catch him with an overhand and put his lights out, but my money wouldn't be on it...
Silly talk.
Marciano and Tyson and Frazier are too small. Fury will hold and lean on them.
Need someone at least 6'3 and up to fight fury.
Only shortie that can hang with fury is Tua.
Tua weakness was he never works the body..... with fury he'll be working the body all night.
Fury is huge. Has to be either a good super heavyweight or very special Heavyweight.
Ali
Foreman
Klitschkos (both in their prime)
Holmes
Lewis
Bowe
Tua
That's about it.

Lewis, Vitali and Wlad are the only ones who would have a good chance, maybe Bowe.
The little ones aren't beating a prime 100% fury
I think Fury is the kind of guy who if he had 50 fights may potentially lose 1 or 2 the way lennox did by just being lazy and unprepared. When he's on his game he's a nightmare for anyone.
Lol at people saying Mike Tyson, Fury would DESTROY him mentally before they stepped in the ring and Tyson NEEDED his opponent to fear him to win, he would fold very quickly against fury.
thats such a myth, they are all professional fighters, they are there to fight, prime tyson had great speed and defense. he burned out fast, his prime didnt last long, all that crap about oh hes a bully this or that, how is he bullying pro fighers, the best heavyweights in the world in the late 80s? do you think that just MAYBE he was the better fighter those nights?
You think all the professional top boxers in the world fighting him never thought gee i better not let him think im intimidated by him, i better go out and bring it to them? you think they never thought of that? like tyson said everyone has a plan until they get hit in the face, just maybe the speed, accuracy and power of his counters ruined their plans.
Its obvious george would lose way to sloopy and easy to read and outbox
he has a lot of power and he doesnt head hunt like wilder but he goes to the body. what do you think happens when foreman goes to furys fat body? its a wide open target, he cant defend it all the time
A lot of fans look at Fury’s poor performances vs fringe contenders, but ignore his big fights.
Tyson Fury’s dumb performances vs lower ranked fighters just means that he loses interest if he isn’t fighting a threat. Which leads to a bad training camp. That is very real. Lack of motivation translates directly into camp and then into fight night.
But when you look at how Tyson Fury prepared himself and fought Wlad, Chisora and Wilder, that is the Fury you need to think about when it comes to fantasy fights.
Yes, I saw the fights where Fury struggled. I saw the McDermott fight, I saw him get dropped by Cunningham, I saw him get beat up by Wallin.
But that’s not the Fury that you will get if he knows he is fighting Mike Tyson, or Marciano, or Lewis, or Vitali, or Joe Louis, or Foreman, Ali, etc.
Lack of motivation id a big issue for Fury. I wouldn’t be surprised if he keeps fighting after Whyte that his first loss will be vs some journeyman. That’s just how Tyson Fury operates. Give him a big name to prepare for, he will come to win.
Fury beats Joshua and Usyk if he fights them in the next 2 years. And of course if Usyk survives the Ukraine war.
I wouldn't pick the Gypsy Queen over anyone. Tyson Tummy isn't favoring himself over anyone these days except for Whyte (who already got ICED by a 45 yr old). So who would want to favor the Gypsy Bum over anyone else ? The retirement excuse BS is showing the real face of the Gypsy DUCK.
Explain how George being slow and easy to read wins you people just say names weird try watching matches
Foreman was a monster. He only lost 2 fights in his prime to Young and Ali.
He punched himself in the face and when he attacks he looks so sloppy his feet get twisted up
He is a lot more silky with his head movement and ability to not get hit but on the offence fury is is as clumsy as they come
Fury is clumsy, has no power, can be sent to canvas
Joe Hipp would give Fury problems.
Is Charles Martin credible ??
What other name on ortiz resume speaks about how great he is ?
Maybe when ortiz was only 60 he may have beat the likes of Joshua
Going life and death with Martin at 90 years old is impressive though
It's just for wilder to be a great win for fury after getting taken to school by a guy who can't get and erection without viagra due to age isn't a good look
People make it seem everyone is beating up the geezer.
It's a shltty HW era.
Fury is clumsy :lol1:

No one else seems to be able to solve that geezers riddle.

Lewis would best him every department. I think Ali was so good that he would make Fury look clumsy.
Other than that it's hard to say. We're really considering his greatness in the context of one fairly poor fight against Klitschko and the fact he's quite big.
A fighter like Wilder just doesn't factor into these kind of high level discussions on ability.
You'd need to see him against more decent fighters.
Fury is clumsy :lol1:
Against a guy that lost to John mcdermott and punched himself in the face
Fury has 3 wins of note
JourneyMan chisora
Shot wlad
And wilder who was getting soundly outboxed by an 80 year old Cuban before fury decided to step in with him
No one else seems to be able to solve that geezers riddle.
Nobody to be honest
Fury in that 2nd Wilder fight might be the most challenging and difficult puzzle to solve that we've seen at heavyweight
Wilder = Truest 1 trick pony in the sport.
If he had just 2 boxing brain cells rolling around in his head, he would have won the 1st fight.
Another legit ''if'', if they were the same size and Wilder was still the same 1 trick pony, he would have won the 1st fight.
Much like Broner, they started to believe in the headlines.
No one else in this dreadful HW era will beat Wilder.
Idiot george was to slow and easy to read how would he win you people idiots
