Best fighters/styles to match up against Tyson Fury?

[Nash out]

Was watching some old Fury clips yesterday. Sometimes recently he looks unbeatable but other times he struggled, he had a rough time with cunningham when cunningham got in close. I couldnt help but think prime Holyfield would have the perfect style to match up against him, he is pretty quick, durable, versatile with both hands and he fights so well on the inside, he could get inside on Fury and take away his huge reach advantage. Hes got the stamina and durability to push and test Fury, i cant help but see him getting a stoppage after wearing down and getting to Tyson.

Agree/disagree? any other fighters or styles could solve Tyson Fury? I forgot how bad he roughed up Wladimir, wlad's face was busted up after the fight, i remembered that as a decision win but he completely shut down wlad who just stood there barely throwing and looked so slow and stiff.

Christ. Fury was barely a good domestic fighter when he took on Cunningham. Very raw. He has come on 1 million percent since then.

- -Geez, Gaseous Cassius put down hard by noob Sonny Banks and Lightheavy Journeyman Henry Cooper and clubfighter/liquor salesman Chuck Wepner, so why U candies moaning about Fury?

AJ already sent team Fury squalin' like Sissyboy Jr for his daddy at least twice, obviously the answer of 2+2 question U arithmetically challenged dingles are desperate for. Whatever happened to the extraordinarily sophisticated BS History forum of my youth?

I have to agree here.

Fury has been down and rocked by medium punches. Once he gets hit on the chin ,which might be hard considering the competition he fights and how in frequently he fights, get ready for that fraud stamp.

I agree but you got to add in 'hard to hit' as another reason as well.

I'm not a Fury fan I find him boorish. But he is the biggest dude they have ever attached to the phrase "hard to hit clean"

For all your reasons and this one he might make it to the end without being exposed.

I guess getting hit by Wilder was.... Not getting hit on the chin? Vlad went down like a ton of bricks when Sanders decked him because.... he got hit on the chin? Please... How silly. Some guys fall down easy but get up. Louis was like that. In the sport of boxing it does not matter how many times you go down, it matters how many times you get up.

Vitali never went down.

- -U even watch boxing?

Lewis and others conveniently ducked Sanders under the Apartheid boycott of South Africa in spite of Sanders fighting as a popular fighter in black provinces. Because of that inconvenience that Sanders became a multi-sport star, making his $$$ in Rugby and Pro Golf. Sanders also a dangerous early round KO artist already a respected legend in the day of my first boxing forum, the now defunct AOL.

The first of the Wlad KD's was initiated by a leaping head butt followed by a straight left, his KO punch. If U understood the dilemma of Lefties historically in boxing, something that seems beyond U limited capacity, the lefty stance causes all manner of unintentional head butts and foot tangles that kept them out of traditional boxing because noone would fight them...NOONE!!!

They dominate the titles held today out of proportion to their limited population base. Young Clay needed extra time and illegal smelling salts bought by Dundee to see out little LH Henry Cooper's fatal left hook not even needing a head butt.

What U doing on a boxing history forum if U ain't even watched the fights?

Fury is likely overrated because he exposed how weak Vlad and Wilder were. He will do the same to Joshua if they fight before old age. He is the only giant out there who knows how to fight a little. Let's not overlook his huge forearms in the heavyweight equation. He has growed into his height and can now use his body as a defensive instrument like older Foreman did.

Holyfield is the best choice to give him the full test because he has a complete tool set.
