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

[Boxing_1013]

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

I don't think the first fight was a clear W for Tyson...I had it a draw and felt that was the right score...impressive comeback for him in any event to take on Wilder in that fight at that time in his comeback.

The 2nd fight for me was much more impressive...great gameplan and executed to perfection.

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

@@@@@

Vitali though too. And Prime Ali and Tyson have to be 50/50 also.

All the older heavies would have been too small for real. What about Larry Holmes? Elite jab and a really good boxer

prime Ali, prime Foreman, Lennox, prime Mike, Holyfield ( heavyweight version) , prime Holmes, prime Vitali, prime Vladimir

All very tough fights for Fury.

Disagree re Ali & Tyson, i think both men are too small to beat a skilled giant like Fury.

Vitali was too robotic to win imo. Fury would've figured him out early and soundly outboxed him

Holmes is a good shout, you can tell that Tyson watched a lot of him growing up. A prime Foreman is another good shout.

Man I just dont think ANYONE can deal with his size because he just such a big guy.

This is not different than comparing two smaller men who weigh the same lol. Usually they're similar in build. Fury is a GIANT.

Even "Big George Foreman" was only 6'3" 250 in his hay day.

I see Mike Tyson vs Tyson Fury very much like Foreman vs Frazier. I dont think its 50/50. Even a young prime Mike would struggle badly especially once Fury begins to lay on him. He would never be able to get close and I love Mike.

I think Lennox has a chance but Lennox has been legit KOed and has nowhere near the reach to fight his kind of fight.

I dunno

Wilder won 2 rounds. 4 if you're being super generous.

It's pretty much mathematically impossible to have wilder winning that fight man. I'd say 98% of people thought Fury won easily.

i wouldnt bet on a 5'10 guy taking 273 pounds of weight from a 6'9 man with an 85 inch reach. prime fury (from chisora 2, hammer, wlad) or current tyson would be too much.

i guess you can say im in that camp that thinks lennox and vitali and maybe prime wlad would beat any other hw in history in a h2h - even if they were to win just by abusing their size. same goes for fury.

if boxing were logical those guys would be in a super heavyweight division much like how cruiserweight and hw are separated.

I think "big george" was only 220-230 in his younger years. The older foreman would of been too slow for fury.

I think prime Vitali was much more flexile than people are giving him credit to. That lean style he got from kickboxing worked great for him. Also, he had a better chin and power than fury. comparable size. It would be w very tough fight for fury.
