    this new Fury might be unstoppable

    I have been one of Furys biggest critics, but i just cant see anyone beating this new kronk terminator style At 273lbs.

    The size difference was incredible. i thought fury was always overstating his height, but the size gap looked more than 2 inches, Fury was ****ing HUGE. nearly every time fury landed, Wilder looked buzzed.

    I have always been critical of Fury, i thought he had zero punching power, & have now backed Wlad and Wilder x2 to not only beat him but knock him out.
    I thought he was a one trick pony, one dimensional in every sense, but like great champions, he has switched it up when you least expect it and found another way to win.

    He is not only the no.1 heavyweight in the world but he is so far ahead it looks like it will be several years until we get to see a new champ.

    'Fluffy Fury' is suddenly a power punching monster!

    Nah, hes the best but he is beatable too. He is still fairly average offensively, he makes up for that by being great defensively, very versatile, and his strongest asset is his self belief, its prob the best I've seen.

    Joshua will definitely keep him honest though, that is a tough fight for both guys. I think Fury will prevail because he has a better chin, and engine but I also wouldnt be surprised if Josh pulls it off by hurting Fury early, which then sets a different tone for the rest of the fight.

    Joshua doesnt hit as hard as Wilder, but he hits in a variety of ways, and overall has a better delivery system for his power shots.

      He definitely does seem more destructive. It was a similar physique to the Tom Schwartz fight.

      Different opponents need different game plans and this one was executed perfectly - and that included fighting weight.

      If he can still move and be as slick - that's still his main asset, this extra punching power and resistance should be a great addition.

        I am a big Fury`s fan, his chin is su****ious, he was dropped by Cunningham an Pajkic. I predicted a win by stoppage for him against Wilder in a rematch.

        The question is, who of current hw-s is skilled and strong enough to beat Fury down. because Fury is now much better fighter than in Cunningham and Pajkic fights.

          ... never think outside a given context: Fury fought a guy who practically never had legs... (the Kronk people just focused on this...)

            I agree, but he has a history of fighting to the level of his opposition and being his own worst enemy. There's one man that can beat him - Tyson Fury.

              Fan since day 1, and i remember when everyone on NSB thought he was a complete bum. The talent & physical attributes were always there.

              I'm happy now he's now proven to everyone that he's the real deal and is finally getting all the recognition & praise that he deserves.

                He seems to have a chin like Juan Manuel Marquez, he can be put down but he gets his head clear remarkably quickly. I think he'll be hard to stop. If you've never listened to Manny Stewards interview about him, I would, there is some really good information in there. One snippet is that Fury would outrun everyone in the gym including all the lighter weight fighters...I think he must have exceptional natural stamina

                  I kept using those examples too and they dont really work, dropped by journeymen, lost to John Mcdermott in the first fight, used illegal elbows after being dropped by Cunningham etc. They dont work because Fury turned into a different fighter, even more strangely is he has reverted back to his original style of being a brawler, except now its highly effective & extremely dangerous that is suited to his size and coniditoning.

                  Fury destroys AJ & i dont see how it would be close either?

                  To think i thought Usyk would actually beat him a few weeks ago
                  The size difference of Usyk & Fury would be ridiculous.

                    He looked great but a lot of guys look great until they dont anymore. It was only a few days ago plenty of people were saying he would get caught again and stay down this time. People are fickle.

                    Besides, for all we know Wilder might have actually just not been very good all along compared to the rest of the top 10. The only one he ever fought was Ortiz, and the only one Ortiz ever fought was Wilder.
