    Haha why are you going on amateur boxing that happened 15 years ago, what relevance does it have today?

    It's a fact that Steward said that Fury was the future of the division, or are you saying that he DKSAB?

      He definitely is.

      All his signature performances have been garbage. Klitschko fight was ****. Wilder rematch was ****. Wilder couldn't even move in that fight and Fury was sloppy as hell.

        I’m saying Joshua knocked fury bandy in sparring and I’m saying steward never had the chance to watch Joshua.
        When fury finally fights a live dog who can actually box and throw combination he gets beat.
        Fury was a pro when he got bashed up by aj and aj was ana amateur , fury’s has also been dropped many times by Whyte recently.
        Just like his old man he is all mouth and backs away from people that can actually fight and it wouldn’t surprise me to see fury vacate his title if forced to fight Dillian Whyte.
        That will show you just how confident fury is with whyte

          Fury is definitely over-rated as a whole but he is by far the most skilled Heavyweight out there but its because he is big and skilled which makes it abnormal. If Fury was any other weight class other than probably Crusier or Heavy, he would be a run of the mill, possibly a title challenger at best.

          1. He's been put down quite a few times, and by some very suspect level fighters. I mean; Steve Cunningham, a Cruiserweight!
          2. He beat Wilder with some very ordinary skills. Didn't do anything special at all in the rematch.
          3. John McDermott. That's all I'm saying.

          Other than his skills, size and the Wlad win (which, granted, was a great underdog performance) he doesn't really have any other elite level attributes that you attribute to top level heavyweights. He falls behind others in a lot of departments.

          However, Fury has two important assets, an unbeaten record and a 'personality'. We've seen that his 'personality' could put him back into retirement via a couple of grams and a few cold ones, and his unbeaten record can vanish in a heartbeat against the likes of Joshua or Whyte.

          You could argue he has a good tank but Wilder is an athlete and Fury just used his nonathletic frame to tire him. Not special. Just fat. What happens when he can't lean all over his opponent!?

          Basically, he needs to prove everyone wrong and probably shut his mouth. Until then, he's over-rated.

            It’s funny many claim Wilder was always trash but hype of Fury as the greatest. I like both boxers by the way but it’s sad.
