Why do people think Fury is a great boxer?

[BangEM]

If you can’t notice it you’re knowledgeable is dumb . A 6’’9 250 pound guy is not going to move like a 147 pound Whitaker or Mayweather

--------------- Shut up, dumb yank.

You said in your original post Fury doesn’t compare to Mayweather or Whitaker.

The poster you’re calling dumb basically said, “of course not, he’s 6-9, 250”

You then call him ****** for comparing Fury to Mayweather and Whitaker.

Wow.

Look at this dumb American bellend and the blasphemy. You deserved to be tied to tree butt naked and flogged for comparing Fury to Sweetpea and Mayweather. You American idiots don't even respect your legends. What an idiot!

Just because the bum and one-trick pony, Wilder, is your idol and Fury made the bum look like the bum he's, that doesn't mean he's that good. Anyone decent boxer would make Wilder look like that.

Wilder had one jab that night: use his jab and work Fury's fu..cked up body until he loosens up before throwing that big right. But this bummy idiot was just running around swinging those idiotic telegraphed punches.

He has the hallmarks of most of the very good/great heavyweights of previous era's - good defence, good jab. This gets overlooked because of all the unorthodox stuff he does, with a guy like Fury - his performances are a reflection of his personality in a way, he can blow hot and cold, be inconsistent within the performance, so it's dangerous to judge him on the bad performances.

Manny Steward had an unbelievable eye - he was a master of the sport - go back and watch some of the fights he commented on, he has this uncanny ability to see and predict where the fight is going, he also had an unbelievable ability to judge talent and judge it from a young age.

It is no surprise to me to see Fury at the top of the division, and partly because I piggybacked Steward's eye and he saw it in camp when he was still a young fighter. In a similar case I remember seeing an interview with Manny Steward about Ricky Hatton when he saw him as an amateur, and he said then that Hatton was shadow boxing 15-16 rounds without rest and he could tell from the movement and work ethic then "that kid will be a world champion"

So my point is TS learn to use your own eye and opinion, but also pay attention to the people that know more than you.

His defence is overrated. The guy has been too many times by different boxers. He has been dropped by 3 different fighters. Even AJ who many claim has an average defence has only been dropped by two fighters and he has faced better opponents than Fury ever did.

People are positive during commentary and a lot of hyperbole is involved. Manny also said Deontay Wilder is a great boxer and even Ray Charles knows Wilder is anything but a boxer.

Stop the madness.

Wow.

My bad, I thought he compared him to those great fighters.

I'll edit the post now.

Fury would beat Joshua and Whyte on the same night, he's a level above both of them.

Ask any non-biased pro who has been in the gym with Fury and they'll say the same, Fury is #1.

AJ will beat Tyson, Shane, Hughie, John and Peter Fury (include the one on the Reality TV show as well) on the same night without breaking a sweat. Everyone in the Fury clan will get sparked out on the same night.

Listen, the guy can obviously box well, but we all know it’s ugly as hell.

He’s not pleasing to the eyes to look at when he’s fighting.

He’s got an awkward style that suits him well in this era of heavyweights. Guys who know how to get on the inside and slip punches would definitely have no issue with him.

Why does he have to fight Dillian Whyte to get praised? Same Dillian Whyte that lost to Fury leftovers old Chisora in the first fight and losing going into the 11th in 2nd fight

Why is Dillian Whyte even in the conversation are the UK fans that desperate smh...

Fury also struggled against Chisora in their first fight and got battered by the pub boxer, John McDermott. So your point is?

I believe Dillian Whyte will beat him. He won't win the mental game like he does with other boxers and body shots and left hooks are Fury's kryptonite. And both are what Dillian is good at.

As my good friend Ali G would say, respeck.

If I knew how to give you green for this post I would lol

Because he is fighting in the weakest era of HW boxing ever.

No, it's just the way people act like the guy is some great boxer when he has only fought tomato cans for most of his career.

Oh, Fury is gonna jab his off. LMAO. Why isn't he taking tough fights then, if he's that good? His jab isn't even that stiff and he's below average on the front foot because he never commits. He just runs around for 12 rds like his cousin, albeit he's a tad more aggressive.

I hope either AJ or Ruiz drops one of the belts, so he can fight for one of them against Usyk or Dillian Whyte. or just beat Wilder for the WBC belt and fight Dillian Whyte as his mandatory. Either of the two will shut a lot of people up.

In as much as I don't think Usyk is that great as well - Fury's punches won't trouble him and he has that late energy burst in fights due to his workrate. And Dillian Whyte has the tools to knock Fury's head off if he's disciplined.
