Comments Thread For: Nico Ali Walsh: I Think Tyson Fury is a Top Five Heavyweight of All Time

[BodyBagz]

Fury is conditioned. He only gasses out at the 11th or 12th round which only Usyk can do as well. Just because he still has belly fat doesn't mean he isn't conditioned. People just have different body types.

Not so much his gas tank as his overall appearance.
I'm telling you right now, If he were Andy's height.......no one is making a single thread about him.

When did Fury fight Price?

In the amateurs

Ah, so we're bringing up amateur fights from nearly 20 years ago in an effort to discredit Fury? Got it!

I love the Gypsy King but no way. This is the worst Era in history. Not top 3 in the past 20 years.

People have always been saying their current era is the worst, because boxing is filled with nostalgia. Back in the 60s and 70s they were saying Ali, Frazier etc wouldn’t compete with Louis, Marciano etc. it’s always been that way

The truth is pretty much all the fighters from those eras couldn’t lace Fury’s boots head to head

Seeing guys from different eras helps.
So much slop going on in this particular era of HWs.
Reminds me of those B&W fights way back when.

Bigger seems to be the only advantage these HWs have.
Fury, Wilder and almost everyone else has a laughable resume.
What W would you say exemplifies their greatness ?

What W's would you say gives these HWs a clear path to the HOF ?
No one (besides their fans) in the future will think highly of these HW bums.
Maybe Usyk will be remembered fondly as Holy is.

BTW, Lenny demolishes everyone in this era in the same month

Dude I just watched Lennox Lewis Vs Frank Bruno. Watch Lewis stagger all round the ring round after round. And people say AJ is just a better Frank Bruno.....

I was there in the Lewis era and he was getting stick every fight for being too cautious - even from his trainer. He did end up as a great champion but he also got frozen out for a long time after his 2 KO losses.

There have been huge HWs in the past who didn't suceed - it's not just about size. Valuev, Primo Carneria?? (forgot his name)

You are right about Wilder and Fury not fighting all-comers. But that doesn't mean they don't match up to HWs of the past. Just means we don't know yet. Didn't Bowe put his belt in the garbage to avoid fighting Lewis? Champions have been avoiding each other in every era

Nope I just answered the question when Fury and Price fought.

Come to think of it, Bruno The Robotic would lay waste to this bunch too

Someone said that fury is greater then jack Johnson. Jack Johnson was fighting in a time where his race was being killed just for whistling. Johnson had multiple death threats, people try to poison him, cops setting him up weekly, at every corner Johnson could die for just boxing....getting in a ring he could have died that very day for doing that. Johnson once knocked out a white guy and a lynch mobb came out and started killing everyone in the town: it was a tremendous amount of threat and horrible *********ic pressure that filled johnsons life second by second day by day year by year. Sweat by sweat......Do you actually think someone like fury, fury would box in the same cirmstances? U are doing a line of coke if you think so. There would be no fury if those were the circumstances.......why can't people just enjoy these fighters without giving them unrealistic none worthy status that they have done jack shi to earn. Its become comedy.

Never mind the people who are attacking fury based on personal reasons. Fury is a good fighter. But its going too far.....this unbeatable greatest of all time monster is just comedy. Fury is not in any way unbeatable.
