    You can make an argument that a boxer like Holyfield would beat him regardless because he had his number. We also know that Evander was juiced to the gills. Bowe didnt want any part of prime Mike, and Lewis didnt seem all that anxious to get in with him either, especially after Tyson made easy work of Tyrell Biggs, who beat Lewis in Olympics.
    you don’t know what your talking about dempsey.....Tyson was comprehensively beaten by Douglas in almost every round....he was pretty much exposed right there and there was no way back for him....as for Lewis and Biggs ..Lewis was 18 when he faced Biggs who was probably at the very top in the amateurs .....I see that you also forgot to mention that Henry Tillman beat Tyson as an amateur and knocked him out of the USA trials for the olympics...Lewis made easy work of ruddock who gave Tyson hell and he also had a tough fight with tucker who Lewis beat easy.
    stop making stuff up ....if Tyson never lost to Tillman he to would have had a longer amateur career and quite possibly Lewis and him would have met in 1992 or so......Tyson gave up his title rather than face Lewis and paid him 4 million step aside money.
    I like Mike Tyson but the bottom line is as soon as he faced of with another A+ fighter he got beat because his style was limited

I openly laugh at his amateur level abilities while at the same time shake my head at what this once fine sport has become.
    Sure, his skillset looks pedestrian next to that of, say, Gene Tunney.

    But you didn't answer my question, though.

    In heavyweight history has there ever been a man that large that can move like that? Have we ever seen that particular combination of attributes before?

    Tyson Fury has not really used movement much since Wilder I, he has been there to be hit since that fight.

    Kronk Fury does not implement the old Riddler Bamboozling style 'That was a byproduct of Peter Fury's training'.

    This may shock you? But when Fury fights Joshua, he will go straight at him.
    He certainly bamboozled his opponent for most of the fight during Wilder I.

    Kronk Fury was a welcome revelation because he showed the ability to press forward and attack. If he can combine that style with his older style and switch between them appropriately he will give Joshua fits.

    But I challenge you to name another heavyweight in history who was that large and could move and outbox fighters. I don't think there has ever been a single one like Tyson Fury.

    The fact that your even mentioning these bums like Chisora and Swarchz and a fury whose only beaten 2 world champions is laughablle.
    Chisora is an old-school tough fighter. Schwarz downright sucks and worse than most guys Tyson beat.

    You're delusional. Yes Furys resume against Tom Swartz is very appealing I must say
