In terms of pure boxing skill where does Fury rank

[MoneyKasha]

I am not saying Fury wins against the greats, but i agree with Kev in the sense

i can't say with certaintly that he wouldn't win as well

[QueensburyRules]

in terms of all time HW boxing...

- -I'd say U rank in the lower 50,000.

How many HW’s can fight Southpaw or orthodox equally well? Fight inside or outside, going backwards or forwards, all equally as well. I’m not saying Derek Chisora is a great fighter but Fury fought him southpaw and despite Chisora’s losses, that’s still the only fight that has been totally uncompetitive, So it’s crazy to think he did a job on him like that from the southpaw stance.

In terms of pure versatility, it’s hard to really pick a heavyweight in history that can match it. He is one of the most versatile boxers in the game today regardless of weight, if not the most.

He beat two long reigning champions in two totally different fashions. One on the back foot and totally nullified him, and the other he walked through.

Then on top of that he has excellent footwork, excellent powers of recovery, Very good IQ and rises to the big occasion

In that Fight fury had been morbidly obese, alcoholic and on coke for THREE YEARS just six months prior

If prime Ali did that and then fought Wilder he WOULD be KO'd

The heavyweights of today that people like to make fun of, would probably KO most great HW's of the past. I think if you have never boxed bigger guys, you will never realize how size advantage can be a really big hurdle. Boxing is different from fighting. In street fighting, size is different. In boxing, size is a big deal due to the rules, gloves, size of the area you can fight in.

It's so much different fighting bigger men in a ring. a 6'9" 260lb dude vs a 6'3" 215lb dude, doesn't matter how skilled the smaller guy is, in boxing, that is a huge difference. Ali will would try his best I imagine, but he'd be in big trouble. Fans don't understand the increase in size in HW's over the decades. Like people still say Marciano, a 5'10" 190lb HW would be too good for today's HW's...when in reality he would not even campaign anywhere close to HW, he would be a Light Heavyweight. He would be fighting Beterbiev, Bivol and Kovalev today. He'd even be too small for Breidis. Marciano would absolutely have to campaign at 175lbs to come in at 190lbs on fight night.

And Ali would damn near be a Cruiserweight today. He'd weigh in at 200lbs and rehydrate to 215lbs. He'd be way too small for HW. A lot of people don't understand how much size and height in relation to skills matters in boxing.

[blowblow]

he is skilled in using a floppy gloves.. lol

I think fury is a very funny guy. He’s big and a decent fighter too.

How de we explain Mike Tyson and the dominance he had? 5'10", 216-218 lbs, 71" reach. He was small for his era and would have been even in Ali's. Based on the size argument he should have never been champ.

[The D3vil]

He's the best fighter ever who's 6'6" or larger.

I'd only put Lennox Lewis & maybe Rid**** Bowe over him of guys 6'5

Head to head he's a nightmare for any HW in history

[Luilun]

Probably the best on skills as a Heavyweight when A 6 foot 9 can dodge slip like a lightweight that’s remarkable

[Tyistall]

Nandrolone Fury has fought 2 guys out of the entire top 30 right now. You idiots cannot say that he is an all time great, or that he has all these skills when none of these skills have been tested. Other than Wilder, the highest guy he has fought has been Chisora, who has 9 loses on his record. Nandrolone Fury has not been in wars. He has avoided the best at heavyweight his entire career except Twerking Wilder and an old Klitschko. I swear, y'all get way too carried away with this fraud
