Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis on Tyson Fury: He Moves Like Muhammad Ali

[Frontman]

Fury would school Joshua with one hand tied behind his back. Easy work.

As for Joshua surpassing Lewis, don't make me laugh. Joshua is nothing but a muscled up hulk who will be exposed when he eventually finds his balls and fights Fury.

I like the way you see things.

When I first read the title I thought it was a joke but I respect Lennox Lewis's opinion over any bum on this site. Lennox can see things that a bum ass fan cannot. Now is there ulterior motives perhaps but what would Lewis have to gain from shilling Fury?

[soul_survivor]

erm....maybe Ali from 1988

He doesn't even move like Lennox Lewis

The great Lennox Lewis was a jabber not a mover. His big jab was his defense not his legs. You need to study boxing. Some people can't see the nuances. I'm not saying that to you I'm just saying that some people can't discern little things because they are not boxers.

At the end of the day, Fury isn't Ali and i don't think any serious boxing fan would claim he is.

However, how many other fighters in history have Fury's attributes? I can't recall another 6ft9 man who moves like Fury.

Fury would box rings around a stiff plodder like AJ. Joshua would have a punchers chance, otherwise he gets his ears boxed off.

That was exactly my point

There are not. If you look back a few years Lennox was praising AJ and not Tyson Fury. He predicted Fury would lose to Klitschko, and now he has realised he was wrong he's looked at Tyson's fights and seen the true greatness. Fury has elite movement for a man of his size. It's a fact. Still nobody has shown me an active HW with a faster pull counter than Fury...

I have been sold on Fury ever since I watched the fight against Klitschko. Fury did something that many heavyweights could not do in a decade. Prior I considered Klitschko pound for pound even though he is a heavyweight. Tyson Fury is a great big heavyweight and could be a great heavyweight champion.

Klitschko fight was a beautiful performance. The ones in denial can't see it. Yet a lot of them understand why Mayweather fights or Lara fights are considered boring. Both fighters are so good that they almost neutralized each other, but Fury was better. Now, as long as Fury hasn't been doing drugs, I will just sit back and watch him beat everybody, while the emotional fanboys come up with excuse after excuse as to why their favorite heavyweights are getting bodied by the Gypsy King.

A lot of people don't give Fury credit because they believe the Klitschko fight was a fluke.

[Mr. Luthor]

Fury having better movement that other 6'9" boxers does not mean he moves like Muhammad Ali. Tyson Fury has 25 career bouts and no one has ever put his movement on Ali's level. That's de****able. It can be said that Fury does use head movement and his feet to his advantage but Ali was a thing of beauty in the ring. The comparison is about as accurate as saying Adrien Broner is like Mayweather just because their primary stances are similar.

Hello again. Just to answer a few of your questions.

"I still dont see why Lewis thinks that wouldn't go well for Joshuas style who can pressure you and fight on the inside"

Tyson Fury is the best HW on the inside in the whole of boxing.

"Joshuas jab is also every bit as effect if not more when he uses it so cutting distance down will not be as much problem as many think add to that abilities to throw counter power right hands ."

You don't cut down distance with a jab when your arms are 3" shorter, because you just eat a jab from the other guy instead.

"I still sense Lewis a bit jealous of Joshuas boxing abilities surpassing his one day and soon"

Lennox was praising Joshua as the next best thing. He said Fury had no chance against Klit before the fight and has obviously gone back and watched some material and realised how good Fury is. There is even an article on the front page right now where Lewis is saying AJ could be the next undisputed champ. That will only happen if Fury has been doing PEDS and he gets suspended, and Klit retires.

You don't measure a jab by its length,you measure it by its effectiveness,just watch Mike Tyson use his jab and out jab everyone including Holmes when Rooney had him utilize it. Joshuas jab is faster and more direct than Furies slapping one this should be obvious. I highly doubt AJ will use his jab anyway ,since he can force a fight on the inside where Fury will be dead in the water. you act like fury is a giant next to Aj which is comical. Aj himself has a 82 inch reach and can dictate where the fight goes moreso on actual ability and skill level.

Lennox has praised fury not Aj. He doesn't favor anyone over him for the simple sake Lewis himself knows he was better than Fury without question.

Fury is the best HW ? Well that's your opinion not a fact.
