    Fury has just a ****load more tricks to pull out of his ass than Jack does, but, ain't none of them gonna save him. He'd have to fight a different fight to keep Jack away, down, or behind.

    Usyk is not a bad challenge for him.
    Stop trolling thats so dumb to say jack was so wild and small he would be countered easy he was like 190 at his best how does he win being so outdated in his movements do you watch matches cause you look like a idiot

      Shavers lost just about ever big fight he was in . I can’t see Frazier applying constant pressure to 270 pound giant ,look at the Buster Mathis fights ,he’d have a nightmarish time against fury .
      Its obvious george would lose way to sloopy and easy to read and outbox

        Nobody, everyone should know by now that Fury is the king of imaginary wins. He beats people in his head, why actually fight them?

        Meanwhile back in the real world, he has a win over a 39 year old Wlad in a 7 punch per round stinkfest, was then caught cheating, and in the 7 years since has 2 wins out of 3 against Wilder after escaping with a draw the first fight. There literally isn’t a single other name on his resume.

          No one "would beat" him. Only Lewis, Vitali and Holmes "could beat" him. Tyson and Frazier had the style but they were too small.

            Lennox Lewis and prime Klitschko brothers are the only ones that can compete with Tyson Fury due to their size.

              If it's Fury at his absolute best, he can outpoint them all even over 15 rnds... But I don't think we've ever seen the best Fury and its questionable if we ever will.

                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 in that 2nd Wilder fight might be the most challenging and difficult puzzle to solve that we've seen at heavyweight
                  That was a brilliant, dominant performance but he was hardly a puzzle that night. He was just a style that Wilder had zero answer for.
