"Too Fast" Fury vs "The Greatest" Ali: Who wins?

[Sun_Tzu]

Fury is only 4 inches taller than Ali,Canelo v everyone hes been fighting should show you that height can't make up for skills,look at RJJ v Ruiz,3 inch height difference (& RJJ often fought small for being 5'11")

If we trust the stats on each guy Fury is 6 inches taller and would probably be 40+ pounds heavier. Thats a massive difference and you are right height doesnt make up for skills but we arent talking about a lumbering uncoordinated 6'9 guy. Fury is very skillful, as skillful as Ali. Nah, not the young version of him but I didnt say Fury would definitely beat that version. The Ali from the seventies relied on his ability absord punishment too much and wear guys down. Fury has proven he can sling leather the entire fight.

I like Fury,but theres no way in hell hed beat Ali,its laughable actually that 4 inches in height will overcome Ali being overall better at everything

Better at everything? Fury can fight Ali any way Ali can fight Fury. It would be a chess match.

I like Fury but he’s no “god” he’s very limited and need to work his skill but luckily HWs sucks for two decades now.

Fury isn't nowhere near as coordinated as Ali though(any Ali),look at him last night

he looked awful at times against Wilder who is far from good technically(he looked like a big oaf whenever he just stood there & let Wilder hit him with his 2 piece throughout the fight,it was baffling to me why he did that (it wasn't your average 1-2,it was completely telegraphed punches by Wilder(Wilders bread & butter,& same thing Fury was all over the previous fight)

There should have been a question mark in there. I dont think Fury is as skillful as Ali but he is a huge man that is skillful. Ali would have his hands full is all Im saying in his prime which wasnt in the seventies. Do you think the Ali that fought Norton,Young and Frazier would beat Fury? I dont think so, he was a very good fighter still in the 70s but these guys are different equation now simply because of their mass and if they have real boxing skill thats a problem for any of the greats in the past. Wlad would have given Ali problems with his negative tactics and his strength. Its not disrespectful to say Ali could lose to some of the best guys that have come along since he retired. He wasnt undefeated after all.

Tbh as much as I think fury is overrated, I think he beats Ali purely based on the size difference. He would outweigh Ali by like 60 pounds, so he would just bully and rag doll him around the ring, use all that weight on Ali.

[buddyr]

goddamn these threads are getting worse..

[Stuntman Mike]

But he's quite simply..too small

Like usyk was too small for the mighty Joshua or tyson was too small for anybody ...


Fury struggled to put a gassed out wilder away does anybody seriously think he'd get close to a prime ali without looking ridiculously ****** and eating straight rights all night long?

Ali haD head movement from all angles going backwards forwards and could throw combinations to match a prime pacquiao that's literally how good he was

Ali had everything..an atg chin speed movement timing combinations elusive and had an underrated right hand

Fury would be looking for Ali all night long


I feel like most posters only watch alis second coming fights when he was on the decline..if we are talking prime no heavyweight that's been born can beat Ali

Have you seen a prime ali and his accuracy

He had the combinations of pacquiao(when he got someone hurt) and the timing of mayweather all from any angle ,going forwards or backwards mixed with head movement and unmatched foot speed. great stamina and an atg chin


Alis laser right hand would be placed on the sweet spot every time fury committed

it was be embarrassing for fury

[hugh grant]

In a trilogy they'd both register wins. In a one off fight not sure who to pick. But that don't harm Ali as Ali still better wins and is the goat
