    Again what boxer in history could have beaten Fury Saturday night?

    No idiot answer like Wilder is a bum.
    Fury is fat etc.

    Could bigger guys like Lennox, Foreman, Bowe have slowed Fury down.

    Tyson would’ve KO’d him, also Holyfield.

    If they were the same size PAC would’ve dropped him for the 10 count.

      Joshua and even Whyte have a better chance at beating Fury with the simple fact that they can slip shots and know how to counter. Look what Wallin caught Fury with, a simple stay low to bring the hands down and an overhand to clip him, Wilder can’t box for sht and is technically too one-dimensional (looking for one punch only). Doesn’t counter, doesn’t slip, can’t bend his damn legs and thus can’t fight a mofo longer than him. Without the right hand landing someone’s mother could beat Deontay’s ass. This is why Fury looks so awesome vs Wilder, a little defense and he’s done. 90% of fighters give Fury a tougher fight.

      That said Fury is very good, he’d give anyone a fight, but that just shows he’s at that level, and at that level, all these guys are struggling and having to dig deep to beat one another. Wilder isn’t at that level.

        Ruiz, with his lightening fast hands and monstrous punching power.

            Styles make fights. I think Mike Tyson would've beat Fury. He's used to fighting taller guys, has speed, and most importantly, knows how to bend his knees and slip under punches. Guys like Lennox and Bowe would have a much harder time because they're used to fighting tall and having the reach advantage. They're not used to giving up those things, and it would be there turns to go into the heart of the lion. Tyson's stamina and willingness to keep feinting 24/7 is exhausting to look at, let alone fight against.

              Great points in all post. I agree Mike Tyson or Holyfield should beat Fury.

                  Fury wouldn't fight that way against Holyfield or Mike. He'd have boxed them long and used his footwork and reach.

                  That's why Fury is a complete boxer, he can adapt and has no obvious weaknesses

                    He couldn’t have fought like that against great heavyweights.

                    He engaged with Wilder because he was such a superior boxer. He figured he had a better chance of knocking Wilder out than avoiding the right hand for 12 rounds because he would win the boxing battle every time they engaged.

                    Fury wouldn’t win that battle every time against ATG boxers. So you would see Fury on the outside using his movement and defense much more.
