    Is op serious?

    Fury’s defense consists of taking punches with his head and getting dropped on his ass. And then getting up like a coked up addict.

    Canelo is one of the best fighters p4p and has never been dropped.

    Lol at putting those two in the same sentence.

        You mean the only two punches that Wilder landed all night?

        I honestly don't feel like any honest boxing fan can deny that Fury has a great defence.

        Canelo also has a good defence and head movement. I agree with what Darkseid said, Canelo sacrifices defence for offense more than Tyson.

          I said going with the punches not blocking them with your face. I think I made that pretty clear.

            Spoken like a true casual who only watches boxing from highlight videos. Kudos for your fake, incorrect assessment.

              Yes I am serious. Nothing wrong with putting these 2 in the same sentence.
              Guys like Pernell Whitaker, Willie Pep, Nicolino Locche, Miguel Lora, James Toney have all been dropped on their ass and even stopped yet they're called one of the best defensive fighters.
              I don't recall Fury ever getting consistently hit in the head other than getting dropped twice by arguably the hardest puncher in boxing right now.

                It's not even a question who the better boxer is. Fury is undoubtedly the better boxer.

                Canelo is a boxer-puncher.

                But if we're talking pure boxing, it's not even a debate. The guy is an obvious casual.

                I would bet money he's never watched a full fury fight, and if he's reading this, then he knows I'm right lol. He knows he's never seen a full fury fight from start to end.

                  Steve Cunningham a career Cruiserweight with almost 40 fights ( less than 8 at HW ) and only 13 KO's dropped Fury .

                    You've clearly never watched a single one of Furys earlier fights. Gtfo casual.

                      Fury was showboating and disrespecting cunningham, and cunningham was angry and getting back at him for pushing him around. So he loaded up and whacked him with everything he had while fury was still playing around.

                      If you're a boxing fan then you should understand the context of why everything happened. A boxing fan sees the story of the fight.
