Tyson Fury vs prime Ali

[sugar ray lenrd]

maybe about even. Did you know that Fury is so fast that he flips the switch to go to bed and he is in bed before the room is dark?

Oh...I see you have that Ali poster too...

[Larry the boss]

yea this is just ******

[Ham Porter]

What a ******, idiotic thread. How the hell is Ali supposed to compete against the current crop of heavyweights and their incredible athleticism and modern training methods?

This is why I need my main man Elroy1 up in here.

Fury by brutal KO.

I don't think its a good comparison or matchup, probably the reason they considered having a super heavy division. George foreman may be better. But for the hell of it, i have prime ali by decision. Tyson fury is very slow footed and not really a ko puncher while ali set master traps.

What master traps is Ali going to set on a FAST footed 6'9 giant southpaw with 85 inches of reach? Fury doesn't need to be a k.o puncher ,he hits hard enough hes 250 plus pounds ,and Ali's not remotlley a hard hitter either at 210/215 pounds. Ive seen guys as slow as molassess deck Ali . Fury may not be heavy handed but he's fast and will tag Ali up and find it easy to hit the lean straight back Ali defense. More than anyone Ali relied on reach because he had poor defense. Fury would out manauever him relatively easy. If this were an actual modern fight and Ali never had the history he does ,rest assured about 90% of the posters on here would pick fury as well.there to mesmerized by history to actually think Fury would win,and they have no actual reasoning behind it other than ,he's Ali. Terrible stylistic match up for Ali,a behemoth with a jab also who doesn't sit still either.

Modern heavyweights height: 6'9 Fury, 6'7 Wilder and 6'6 Joshua. I think it speak by itself, you can't give up so much eight, reach and weight and still have a chance to win against theses beasts. Ali dosen't stand a chance. Nor does Tyson, Foreman or Holyfield...

If Fury beats Wlad again, and proves to the world he can do that on more than just 1 night. He will probably become what you could call an anomaly, the dude is huge! 6.9/6/10 depending on who's the promoter, the longest wing span in boxing, and who's weirdly fast and technical for his sheer size.

Usually someone his size is just a massive clumsy oaf, look at Valuev.

How would Ali actually get to him, he'd have to punch over Furys arms every time he wanted to land, unless he just went to the body for the whole fight.

Fury would block his shots, grind him down and mostly likely stop him. Styles makes fights as they say and Furys all wrong for Ali.

[KillaCamNZ]

Fury might beat a current day Ali, possibly.

Who cares anyway?

I absolutely cannot believe the crap that's being spouted about Fury in this thread. Someone above referred to him as "weirdly fast and technical". Seriously? Is that what people got out of Fury's erratic movements and pillow jab against an old, statue of a man? Although I do agree other part of what was said - styles make fights.

Two different generations, two different boxing worlds, it's apples and oranges.

But please, people, sound bites don't make legendary fighters.
