    I do agree, Fury is outstanding for his size, and may be one of the all-time greats. What he does for a guy his size is quite phenomenal.

    I don't subscribe to the saying though that a good or great big man will always beat a smaller guy. If the smaller heavyweight, even as Marciano and Joe Louis, hits like a mule, and has their skill, they can beat giants, such as the size of Fury and Primo Carnera.

    Let's look at other y'all big guys with great talent and skill and power, namely Lewis, Bowe, Foreman (more power) and Holmes.

    They were great in their primes. I know Bowe only looked prime in the first Holyfield fight, maybe the whole trilogy and the Gonzalez fight, but he had a great jab and a powerhouse. Lewis had it all, just not the greatest chin in those losses, but came back like a champion.

    It would be wonderful if Fury had those level of opponents today, because I believe Fury would certainly hold his own and be competitive.

Fury got all this hype by beating an over the hill Klitschko and a one dimensional deontary wilder ......fury is the best heavyweight in a very overrated era. Nothing more nothing less.
      Lennox might well beat Fury but Mike Tyson lol?

      Mike Tyson couldn't fight man, he could beat up scared cans but he could not fight.

      Fury would send Mike Tyson into clinical depression.

        Fury leftover, Wilder KO’s Joshua anytime they fight. That’s a reality
        Whyte KOing Fury is just wishful thinking,

          Perhaps. Bottom line though, Lewis got KO’d by two bums. That matters.

(not sure if he has been reading Bread mailbag, but doubt it) - he says that Wilder's power is generated by speed whereas his punch is a thudding power punch, and then he adds that once he has someone in trouble he knows how to finish them off, unlike Wilder

            Isn't that every boxer’s take when when they face Fury? They’ve all had “interesting” takes and yet that “interesting” take has never materialized.

              From what I understand the judges will not be from the UK, but, I dont know about the official : One thing that I am sure of is that Tyson has been getting a 20 second count in the U.S.A, and technically he was KO at least twice against Deontay 'The Bronze-Bum' Wilder.

              You see, you dont have to completely render a man unconscious to force the ref to rule an opponent knocked-out, all you have to do is put him in bad shape ; just stun him long enough -- which has been a frequent reoccurrence in Tyson's string of luck. I know Dillian Whyte has enough sting in his punches to get the job done.

              You still pissed off that your Fav Fighter Wilder got knocked out by Fury?

                None of the fighters Fury was compared to popped dirty for PED's. I see him as much more comparable to Jess Willard, big strong and hard to hurt. He could fight four times this year, Whyte, Usky , AJ, Sanchez, could be an amazing run. ******* and terrible karaoke are much more likely. He has the opponents, he has the ability to show his greatness. I hope we get to see it, the balls is in Fury's court though its his play.

                  What hurts Lennox is that he got starched twice by lesser fighters. Not saying that Fury beats him, but you can't overlook his chin. I remember Emanuel Stewart yelling at him to be more aggressive, too. As good as Lennox was, he had flaws.

                    who is "they all" ? I'm a fan of Fury but lets face it he has only thought 2 world class opponents - Wlad and Wilder and Wlad was old and Wilder is one dimensional - that said - for me, beating Wilder so conclusively trumps Joshua's wins

                      I find that mocking and ridiculing Tyson and his nitwit fans to be a great source of entertainment. This Saturday the laughs continue, I'm sure the goof is going to provide me quality material, as he never fails to disappoint.
