Fury is a living legend with the comeback he pulled off. There are gonna be people who deny his status but these are people who couldn't even dream of accomplishing what Tyson Fury has. They are bitter losers. The facts are there, Fury is the best HW in the sport, the most accomplished and has one of the most amazing stories in the sport.

I cheered for Wilder & will cheer for Wilder to win the 3rd, but I love Fury's story of redemption.
And yes, he had a dirty fighting style but it works. Kind of like a heavyweight B-Hop.

Even after what happened I still agree with John Fury!

Tyson was a mess, had been morbidly obese for years, depressed, down and out.

Wilder was imperious, his torso carved from granite, whatever he hit, he ko'd

Fury was not ready, he was twice the size and half the man he was vs Wlad

But he only needed to be half the man

I still can scarecley belive it, it defies all logic.

So yes I still think Big John was right to advise against it lol.

Tyson Fury was so concerned about what his dad had to say, that he opted to use kung fu, wrestling and judo to get his point across to the skinny lighter opponent! Fury KNOWS DRUGS and he knows how to beat the smaller shorter guy with fighting technique that uses minimal boxing.

If Fury beats Wilder again, especially if more impressive than last time, then goes and beats Joshua convincingly...Twice, it would be very hard to argue that Tyson Fury is definitely one of the Greatest heavyweights of ALL time.....if mythical bouts could be made I have no doubt he would hold his own with the best of them throughout history.

Fury was about a 2:1 underdog in the first fight. I bet $100 on him and believed he'd win from the beginning. Not only is he more skilled than Wilder, but he has a bit more heart. That was demonstrated in Round 12 of the first one. I believe that Wilder should leave this third fight alone for awhile and let guys like Joshua and Usyk try to solve the 6'9" matrix. I'd rather see Wilder fight guys like Rivas, Hrgovic or Charles Martin, then think about a third Fury fight in Fall 2021.

It really is a remarkable story.
