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

[Mr. Luthor]

Well, we're comparing heavyweights, but if they are on par with Mike Tyson's knockouts then yes, you could say that on occasion, Mayweather could knock people out like Mike Tyson did. Please do if you can.

Three images of Mayweather knocking out 3 opponents still wouldn't cause me to compare his KO power to a puncher like Tyson. I also wouldn't say Fury floats like a butterfly because he moved decently during a incredibly ugly win over Klitschko. There is nothing wrong with saying Fury uses feints and movement well for a heavyweight but that does not put him on par with Muhammad Ali.

The only thing you own is half a brain and we all know I tooled you countless times on here so you need back up which doesn't help anyway......it really wouldn't matter if you made 100 accounts up b/c in the end you will still look dumb....dumbium!

LL also said Haye was the Ali of this generation in the build up to WK v Haye contest.

Poor Lenny going senile..

That's b/c Haye at that time was more Ai like with movement,but clearly fury is a bigger version of Ali,and is much harder to land a clean shot on due to the 85 inch reach. Very similar to how Vitali also mimicked alis lean back tactic,he was also harder to land on. I would say ali's defense is highly overatted when he almost always ate punches by far smaller /slower guys. One thing Ali did more than fury is move more with footwork he was also 50 pounds lighter when he was at his best footwork.

He said he moves like him. LIKE being the main word, a 6'9 260lb man is obviously not guna be as slick as ali, anyone that slates lewis and takes him word for word are being daft

[KillaCamNZ]

This is called, the UK bias.

[artofpugilism]

This is called, the UK bias.

Well i think he means furys movement is similar, and i agree woth him, but obviously slower. But i dont see any uk bias, fury is good on his feet, on his toes, unpredictable much like ali, but obviously ali a lot slicker due to 40lb weight differance

Who else in the heavyweight division has any similarities to alis movement?? No1 so nowt to do with uk bias

[Travycat]

LMAO what?! WHAT?! I was almost sure Lennox didn't take too many head shots. A$$ trumpet.

Lewis is Right

Really long guys look slower because their limb are so long. Ask Shannon Briggs who his fastest opponent was and he will tell you Vitale Klitschko, whom you also called slow. Behemoth elephants look like they are lumbering yet can run down the fastest man.
If we can just get over our prejudice we can see that the Gypsy King actually uses moves Ali never mastered. What Ali did, he did very well, yet a close study of old school fighters like Ezzard Charles, Walcott, Pepp, reveal a more varied pallet! If Fury scores a KO in the rematch with Klitschko, comparisons to Ali will begin. This will also open the door to consideration of the actual roots of boxing itself as the bare-knuckling art from the poor folk of the old world have come full circle in the Gypsy Warrior King!

youre right, long arms travel further and it takes a lot to throw fast BUT, there is no comparison between Ali and this *****...none.
We can all hop around when we know the other fighter has just frozen, why this happened to the klit we will never know but be assured the rematch will not be ali vs liston II.
