    Lennox Lewis is the only fighter ever I would have as a favourite over Tyson Fury

    Muhammed Ali and Mike Tyson would be even money. Maybe Vitali as well.

    Come at me.

    Tyson's size, reach, weight, versatility, will to win, durability, chin and ability to adapt make him a MASSIVE problem for any boxer throughout history. He could dance and jab to a draw at worst against all the better boxers and maul all the smaller guys.

    Only Lennox has the complete package with elite ATG jab and power as well as huge strength to be considered a favourite over Fury.

    Thoughts?

    I agree. Lennox is one guy I would feel confident in picking to beat Fury.

      Looks to be correct , a prime Mike holding his own as a 5050 prospect.

      Lennox , enough said. Vitali with that leaning back **** might just might have a chance.

      Let's talk about Muhammad Ali: Luis Ortiz shares his likeness in features, looks like a Cuban Muhammad Ali. But speaking of fighting like Ali, Tyson fury is like a 300 pound Ali. He can dance move, has tons more power and strength than ali. They are 2 different animals, they say the modern athlete improves over time bigger faster stronger. So poor Ali is a heavyweight fury is a super heavyweight. Like they say a great big man beats a great little man. Lennox would have his hands full though.

        I wouldn't feel confident at all. It's close to even money I just think that Lennox will see the gaps and land the right. And has a jab that could be better than Furys.

        Lennox is the most complete ever with insane weaponry.

        Shows you what a complete fighter Fury is though.

          His mind games as well is among the top all time. He really believes what he say, unlike most who are just posturing and don’t actually go for it in the actual fight.

            Larry Donald kinda moved like Ali too, but not as great.

              On his day Fury has the size, skills, heart and brain to compete with anyone, ever...he is a bit up and down with his performances and can fight to the level of his opposition a bit...but his two best wins over Wlad and Wilder are two great wins and comparable with a lot of greatest '2 wins' for most past great HWs.

                First victory over Wilder was more impressive as Wilder still had that aura. Second fight was a ****ing destruction.

                Fury is painting a masterpiece in his later career though. He whipped two top tier heavies and it wasn't close.

                Also he tells opponents how hes going to do it too. Ali vibes

                  Lennox vs Fury is a 50/50 fight. Fury beats everyone else, don't @ me.

                    Lennox and Vitali are 50:50s. Prime tyson possibly due to his mobility, speed and power.
