      I don't think so. It is not like he was badly injured or had cancer like Jacobs. He came back from something he did to himself that he did not need to do and should not have done.I am glad he is back and fighting so well.

        Not even close. Ray Robinson, Willie Pep, Vinnie Pazienza, George Foreman, are way more impressive.

          George Foreman came back after 10 years out.

          Won the World Championship again at 45 years old.

          He has the greatest comeback ever. It's not debatable.

                Fuck no! He should have at least two losses on his record by now. Both the Wilder and the Wallin fight. Wilder knocked him out and Wallin should have stopped him on cuts.

He's the man that beat wlad remember that not just any old scrub.he is a special talent and it's surprising that ppl who claim to be knowledgeable about the sport h avent realised this until now. It was evident from chisora 2/hammer even the Cunningham fight showed powers of recovery and dog that others don't have. Them powers of recovery are the GOAT that's undeniable. See a man get up in the 12th from that sledgehammer and be on steady legs, unheard of. God's work
                  I've done you the courtesy of reading this through a few times and I still can't find a single argument that relates to my post that you quoted.

                  Seems to just say "I like Fury. I liked him before everyone else".

                  Guess who else has been watching him with interest? That's right, pretty much every non-American boxing fan.

                  Now what's your point? Is he an all time great talent who is just so far above anyone that he can achieve this incredible comeback?

                  Or is the division so weak that a very good fighter can abuse his body and still come back better than the rest?

                  And, yes, it can be a bit of both. Unless you think ballooning up and filling yourself with drink and drugs doesn't affect sporting performance at all.
