Best fighters/styles to match up against Tyson Fury?

[DeeMoney]

Never lead with size, weight, reach when you talk about heavyweights. These are the last things to consider. BIt’s all about determination, style, speed and skill.

Clearly there are other factors at play than just size, I'm not implying Tacko Fall would dominate, but I don't think we need to rehash the skills of Fury that are already well known. AND size does matter, not all heavyweights are built the same. Just because someone reaches 200 pounds doesnt mean that reach or size becomes balanced. Fury's relative size (height, reach and weight) to other historic heavyweights would be equivalent to that of 2-3 weight classes and should be taken into account (as it would if a SMW fought a WW).

Fury is a laughing stock. It’s a testament to the dumbing down of the boxing public that Fury is considered a great fighter. He is a product of 40 years of a watered down boxing world. Heavyweight history is strewn with smaller, faster fighters beating the crap out of lumbering behemoths.

And AGAIN you lead with size, weight, reach. Last thing that should be considered. You lead with the simple items.

Neven Pajkic is like 6'2" and also put Fury on the ground before the big man got up and stopped him.

Fury is packing glass. Everybody knows it which is why fight the top 15-50th ranked guy for title shots who are on the slow side or the old ones.

Any prime puncher with skills in there to win is going to take him out. Love to see Hrgovic do if Fury has the stones to fight him,

So says the guy who should disappear. Name me three legit top 5 ring magazine ranked guys in the past 10 years of professional heavyweight boxing that were under 6'2" tall, weighed less than 215 pounds, and had only a 76" reach. Go ahead, I'll be here to count.

And just remember if you can't come three, theirs is probably something important to Size, Weight and Reach.

I think Foreman, great fighter that he was... is made for Tyson. Permit me one instance of boxing snobbery; I refuse to take the second coming of Foreman seriously in any ofthese evaluations... I know I know... its me, lol.

- -U snottery ain't snobbery, but since it be U, perhaps U meant slobbery, but then again since it be U, could just be a bad case of SillyPuttery...

- -Hrg fights TBAs only. What grade U in?

[HOUDINI563]

Only within your uneducated mind Mendoza. Skill level is so poor in the heavyweight division that the lowly skilled large fighters have no competition. Only a complete fool as yourself are impressed by laughing stocks such as Fury or one trick ponies such as Wilder. Oh wait A laughing stock enjoys laughing stocks! To be expected!
