Boots Suks

Exactly! And that's what Lennox suggested Fury should have attempted. Instead of using his size, reach and weight advantages, he tried to outbox a man who made his career outboxing 40% of his opponents.

Yeh, maybe in a 3rd fight fury could win if he takes lennox advice?
But sometimes fury sparring partners say fury is the best they sparrred?And they sparred both usyk and fury?
Made me think fury could do well in any rematch

And yet again, we see the same old nonsensical line of “Lewis, who defeated every man he faced in the pros,”.
Lewis got knocked the phück out by Rahman and McCall. Both perennial flash in the pan journeymen. To use those words is to try to subtly hide the losses Lewis suffered.

Calzaghe, Floyd, Andre Ward, Marciano and Boots defeated every man they faced. That is an absolute statement.

Floyd lost the 1st Castillo fight and possibly the 1st Maidana fight. Ward lost the 1st Kovalev fight. Marciano lost the 1st fight against Tiger Ted Lowry. Boots beat the SH...T out of Van Heerden. Ask Van Heerden, he's a very honest fella

Fury was talking KO for this fight yet never looked like he was going for it. Maybe Usyk is just that good, I don't know. I doubt Usyk will give him a third chance, and I'm not sure Fury can pull it off anymore. I think the ship may have sailed.

A great smaller fighter always beats a fat taller fighter. Fury beat a lot of smaller decent but not great fighters because of his size. He finally met a REAL boxer who even though lacked size out boxed him twice! That's why the sport is called boxing and not fighting! If Fury was in any other weight class where he was forced to fight same size fighters he'd be nothing but a journeyman to top 20 fighter. He fared better as a heavyweight because he was so much bigger than the current group of slow plodding , poorly skilled fighters he was in against. Heck a big MMA fighter had him down

Stúpid thing to say, if Fury was 6'3/4 and 220 pounds or Usyk was 6'7 and 260+ pounds they both wouldn't be the same fighter either...

It's as if you fight to your attributes and strengths, who would've of ever guessed!? And unsurprisingly there is always ways to overcome them

Boots faced van Heerden, which ended in a no contest
Faced him but didn’t defeat him

Such a strange, random choice to mention Boots and he’s not even a valid example

It's also funny because Boots lost 3 times to Gary Antoine Russell too. And if we're going to keep it strictly to pros, why not mention Bud Crawford? Or Inoue, or Beterbiev, etc. But he's gotta throw his hero in there...

I think Ricardo Lopez might be the only guy to truly defeat everyone he ever faced? And I'm not even sure about that.

Why on earth did you put a stiff like Boots amongst those names, he's not even done a thing to warrant lacing their boots (pun intended).

You could've listed anyone who's just turned pro and still has their 0 in the last couple of years and it'd be equivalent to that shíthouse.

Fury IQ not as good as lennox. Lennox would have went for ko

Fury isn't a puncher like Lennox for one. 2nd of all Lennox never beat a big puncher Like windmill. Lmao wait a undersized past prime Tyson and holyfield

And Oscar LOST to Felix Sturm
And Holyfield lost to Lewis
And PAC lost multiple to Marquez
And Canelo lost to GGG
And Chavez lost to Sweet Pea
And Williams lost to Lara
Bradley lost to PAC

It appears only Floyd gets scrutinized for his close fights.

You are making my point for me. Without context, Boots is just like Lennox because he’s defeated everyone he’s ever faced.
