    I agree he took the underdog fights and hasn’t risked anything when at the top.

    He did beat a prime Chisora, who gets written off on here but for me has the beating of most the top ten when he was younger, bar AJ/Wilder.

      Hasn't Del Boy lost every big fight he had (unless Malik was considered a top guy) ?

        Who out of the current crop do you see soundly beating a young Chisora out of curiosity?

          I will watch it.

          But what I am stating is? Wilder's movement is poor, also he is not good on the back foot 'Fury was not really pushed to reveal his bamboozling game'.

          Fury will most likely morph himself into a different fighter, when he fights Joshua 'As he changes from fight to fight, depending on the challenge'.

            Young/prime Del Boy isn't really saying much.

            Being how absolute shlt this HW era is, I can see a young Del Boy giving guys like Whyte and Breazale (sp) trouble.

                Aside from a few prospects who haven’t been tested ( Dubois etc) there is no one dangerous in the top 10 aside from the top guys, I suppose I could add Fatty Ruiz to the list with AJ/Wilder.
                I feel Ortiz is overrated and lost his only two big fights, Hunter is garbage, Parker is a punchbag, Povetkin is old but was a top guy in his time, Usyk is untested, Whyte only beat Del because of youth.

                  I don't know what skill you saw a young Del Boy possess but it hasn't worked out for him in real life.

                    Fury has yet to fight a fighter near his caliber... Wilder doesn't count, the guy only relies with his power...

                    I say the heavyweight division these days is too soft compared to pre-2000s... If only it's jam-packed with good boxers like at 118, 135, 147 and 160 then his weakness might be exposed before we know it...

                      One serious issue with Fury, as we've seen repeatedly in his career, is that he does have a tendency to fight down to the level of his opponent.

                      Note that Otto Wallin did better against him than Wilder did.

                      It's very much a mental game with Fury.
