Fury is big, but he isn't necessary that strong or the strongest. Dillian Whyte, who is arguably one of the strongest boxers, should of manhandled him in the clinch and on the inside...
Yeah i think someone like a prime holyfield would be a good match up for him. prime tyson too but he was less of an endurance fighter. Lewis could put together some good combinations and had good reach, good uppercut on the inside, that would be a very interesting fight.
you look at the wilder fights and fury fought him both ways, stuck and moved first fight but took huge risk, realized wilder likes his space so you can smother him. did that the next two fights. Fury from the outside doesnt have huge power, he arm punches, he has to load up and break guys down, wilder's chin isnt amazing and he ate a ton of fury shots. had his biggest problems when fury wore him down and loaded up inside.
- - Prime undefeated Field had a 100% KO heavy record until he found himself hanging on to Big George like a wet suit in the championship rounds.
After George tore him up, his record is 18-10-2 with a miserable 25% KO ratio.
Lewis ducks Flubber like he ducked the Ks. Only fought Vit because of losing 3 lawsuits and arranging to fight on 2 weeks notice where Lewie been in training for 12 weeks and Lewie got beat up badly and retired early rather than fight the WBC mandated rematch.
I think you are underestimating how strong he is. With his height advantage he can also lean his body weight on shorter fighters. I don't care who you are, if you have 275+ pounds leaning on you, your legs are going to get tired.
Fury for a super Heavyweight is not super strong but? Check his record. He has not really fought anyone who can also wrestle on the inside, and is a super heavyweight.
He out weighed Wilder by 40-50 pounds. And Wilder is the only fighter he has really bulled on the inside.
Fury did not want to bull Chisora, did not want to bull Whyte ether.
Pound for pound there are probably plenty of Heavyweights stronger than Fury in terms of moving weight. But the fact of the matter is Fury is 270 pounds, and technically skill for skill is one of the very few Heavyweights who has inside game, and knows how to use rough house tactics.
This era of Heavyweights at elite level, very few have a inside game. Both Usyk & Joshua have near enough zero inside game.
The two narratives that have been created by Fury's hardcore fans are, that he has monster endurance and elite level brute strength. There is no evidence statistically or in terms of achieved feats which prove this 'Fury has good brute strength'.
Joyce vs Fury will be a interesting fight because, Joyce is probably stronger than Fury.
Fury did not want to bull Kiltschko, he stayed well clear. The only people he has been able to bull is fighters who he out weighs by 40-50 pounds.
Lets compared to how a out of condition Lennox Lewis bulled a peak Vitali Kiltschko. I don't think Lewis ever competed against another fighter who was equal to him in strength 'Vitali Kiltschko was the closest'.
Overall Tyson Fury is a complete fighter. In the sense that in every single area, he does give it a good go. He is not super great in any area, but he has a Long Range, Mid Range, Inside Game, Rough House tactics game, and a complete chaos game.
Wilder vs Fury III was just a chaotic fight, skill for skill it was not a high level fight. Fury still found a way to win.
Who the hell is strong enough, it's like trying to wrestle a bear.
You gotta hurt Fury with punches, it's the only way... and not with 1 big punch at a time, because he'll just recover as we saw against Wilder.
To really win... your best bet is a high volume of punches... punish him to the body because that's the biggest and easiest target. Knock the wind out of him with a sustained assault to the body, switch it up, use combinations to continue hurting him to the head, the body, etc. The problem is there's no heavyweight out there who has the stamina + skills to do that... at least not yet, not at the moment.

He's 270 pounds and taller than all of his opponents. What kind of stupid question is this?
this and he leans on them
hes a good inside and outside fighter, which is why hes still unbeaten
If this was choreographed like WWE i’m sure many boxers could manhandle him. He can pretend and flop to the ground, seemingly wincing in pain after being clotheslined by Naoya Inoue.
Fury is big, but he isn't necessary that strong or the strongest. Dillian Whyte, who is arguably one of the strongest boxers, should of manhandled him in the clinch and on the inside...
- - Sorta like MoneyKashas should be richest instead of begging BS for a handout.
There is video of Fury doing this hybrid HIIT weight lifting program so yes I'd say he's physically strong. In the Chisora fight there were times he just stuck his arms out zombie style and Chisora couldn't untangle or bull rush his way through those arms.

Another Einstein who knows nothing about boxing AND has a little pecker.

You obviously don't understand that with size comes strength. Fury has to be strong just to carry his huge body around. There's also the matters of mass, weight and the laws of physics. Think of it this way; a 300 lb marshmallow may be softer than a 300 lb boulder, but both weigh the same and require considerable force to move.
I said “ on a whole”. Of course their are exceptions. Theirs a reason why as a boxer why “size matters”. I don’t see anyone whipping Fury IN HIS PRIME. I think his prime is ending in maybe 2 years. Big people tend to have joint problems. Mostly knee issues

Whyte was able to push Fury to the ropes often.
For the most part, a fighter needs leverage.
Hard to have leverage when your opponent has a distinct size advantage.
While the taller man isn't always the stronger man, as we see with Louis Cyr and the big Indian, there are exceptions to the rule. Louis Cyr, a 5'9' Canadian strongman, was able to easily defeat the Indian, who was over 7'4' tall. This goes to show that size isn't everything when it comes to strength and power.
Fury isn't just some big, fat guy who can't move. He's actually quite athletic, and his stamina is better than that of the thinner Wilder. He may not look like a traditional boxer, but he's got the skills to back up his size.
But while I think Fury is one of the best, if not the best, heavyweight in boxing history, it doesn’t mean he is unbeatable or doesn’t have weaknesses.

On a whole, most men who lets just say weight 150 pounds. If one is 5’5 and the other is 6 foot. The 6 footer will be stronger. Why? He has more leverage. He also has the ability to press his weight down on the shorter man, which fatigues the shorter man’s legs and that takes away a man endurance.
