    Yeah. He’s my favourite anyway but his biggest flaw is his inconsistency.

    I Hope he sticks with Sugar Hill and Andy Lee, because their style isn’t just to let him coast. If they take this approach to all the fights, he will be a very hard man to beat.

    I always felt Fury’s biggest chance to lose is because he fights down or up to the level of opposition and sometimes just does enough, but if you do that on an off night or your opponent has a great night, you can end up losing to a guy that has no business beating you.

    Obviously you can’t fight the very best in every fight, it’s logistically impossible, so even when he;s fighting guys he should be getting rid of, i hope he really starts doing it and send out real statements of intent.

      Fury hits harder than Wilder that's for sure.

        Wilder was still throwing back as the fight was stopped 'But yes Fury STINGS, hits hard enough to STING and bust a guy up'.

          I've always said that about Fury he will only fight to level of opposition but he's capable of reaching ATG status if he applies himself. Sugar Hill was the best possible fit for him. Davidson did what he had to for weight loss and some sort of mental stability but Fury is out of his league.

            My opinion hasn’t really changed. He was never a heavyweight Malignaggi, but he’s not a big puncher either. After the KD Wilder was a corpse, but Tyson didn’t KO him.

            As we see time and time again, at heavyweight sometimes it just takes one punch to turn the world upside down.

            I’d liken Tyson to Mayweather. Floyd had more than enough pop to hurt guys and keep them honest, but he didn’t use it to try and get the KOs.

              He said it himself, he never really sat down on his punches as he preferred to box. At his size if he sits down on his punches, it will hurt guys even if hes not a huge puncher. The more he does it the harder will probably see him hit as he tightens up. People forget he’s only 31 years old, he can still improve.

                Nah. Didnt change my POV. Fury with arm punches alone doesnt hit hars but hes big so it will hit harder than it should be.

                Thensize difference played as the 40+ lbs advantage played a factor. I dont think the super heavyweights like Joe Joyce, AJ,.Dubois would get moved like Wilder considering they are 240-250.

                  He's not a big puncher, but he's a big guy, and what makes him unique is his ability to box and LAND clean shots, which add up.
