What makes Fury a special fighter?

[h2k]

Fury is special because he can use peds in every fight without being get caught using it.

Unfortunately for you and this take, his resume is more than 3 fights deep.

Indeed. It also includes a loss to John McDermott, and struggles against Cunningham and Pajnic (I think it was).

Regardless, time will tell. I'll stick my neck out and describe what I believe the future holds for Tyson Fury, and you can stick yours out and reply here with what you think will happen.

Mine:

1. He will definitely duck Whyte. This is simply a duck, but will be rationlized as "I can fight who I want" type bs. Boxing gave him his living, and then he wants to ignore things like mandatories. We will see if I am right.

2. He will lose badly to Joshua.

Note, a third scenario has him retiring after Wilder 3, saying some bs like "I've achieved everything in boxing..." etc.

In short, he may be great, but he is yet to prove it beyond doubt in my opinion.

He's big, awkward and has loads of confidence. There's no great mystery.

He's certainly not a great technical boxer. He's not exceptionally quick. Footwork isn't great. He's not a big hitter. Jab is good not great.

But he's a huge man with decent attributes.

At that size he would be a threat to anyone in history. But he's also very beatable.

One excellent win on his resume. One very good win.

Pretty good summary, but people are getting carried away with this cat. Wilder wasn't even that good, so I'd label that as a 'decent' win. The Wlad win was very good, but you need to subtract fom his credibility for the struggles he's had against no names.
He's also a ducker, as we shall see when he vacates to avoid Whyte. 100% guaranteed duck.

A bit like Mayweather in that regard huh?

[CauliflowerEars]

6'9, 250+lbs with uncharacteristically slick movement, technical ability and ring IQ for a man of his size. Hes also very durable and gritty.

A lot of good feedback on the board, but yup, all this right here mainly..., another way to say he's slick defensively for a big guy and endures a hard punch. Guy won't stay knocked out.

Is he special ? Oh yeah, for sure.
Is he an ATG ? Nahhh. IMO.

All Heart and just do or die attitude. Man was KO'd for like 8 seconds from BRUTAL shot and got up!!!! Then boxed his ass off. No matter how bad Wilder wanted to intimate Fury he couldn't. Fury even licked his preys blood like a SAVAGE hunter!!!

[chrisJS]

I'm not sure that he's "special" yet at least. Time will tell. He's clearly well coordinated and skilled for a guy that size. He knows what he's doing plus he's got guts and a strong competitive edge. I think he's the best of the bunch and will likely reign for a few years so only then can we really compare him to greats. Let's not forget, he's only really beat one very good fighter in Klitshcko, but he did dominate him. Wilder is pure garbage and despite Wilder's fanboys hype he really wasn't a special fighter so while the people who picked Wilder have no room to talk on Fury not being a good fighter, those of us who are more level headed can call it how we like.

I'll drop $3K he beats AJ WHEN they fight. I'm gunning for your wallet. You can say all the dumb sht you want as long as when I WIN you pay up.

And Wyte SUKS! Fat Bastard looked beyond shty his kast fight. Between him and Ruiz I couldn't tell who was fatter.

I'm in for $3K.

We can do it on betfair so we know we're getting paid. I want the same odds I can get vbia Bet365, which is where my money would be going otherwise.

I can get a return of $7500 for $3K on Bet365. (incl my stake returned)

If I bet with you I will return $6K (incl stake returned).

But....you already know this, and would simply take my bet, then bet $3K on AJ and you can't lose.

Gimme the odds I can get elsewhere, and we can make it happen. Youre asking me to bet on the underdog at the same odds as the favourite.

Yup!!!! I was. Fight a long way out so we will see once the fight gets closer.
