    Fury is the Truth. A top 3 all time Heavyweight

    His unique mix of weight, height, reach, skills and heart makes him a problem for ANY heavy throughout history. Only Lennox would be more than a 50/50 fight. Vitali and Larry Holmes even money at best. Classics Clay era Ali would be a great fight but Furys size and reach would just be too much imo

    Fury is the truth. He has so many ways to win. He can maul you and grind you down with size and inside fighting, he can box you from the outside, he can walk you down then slip and land hard sit down shots. He has chin and heart so that you cant put him away.

    His jab with that reach is a serious weapon, and now he's sitting down on his shots more. Very intimidating set of tools

    Muhammed Ali, Lennox Lewis and Tyson Fury are the 3 best heavies ever. You can't really put Fury up there yet in reality cos he hasn't retired but I think he's that good.

    This version of Fury has come of age, wouldn’t like to compare him to previous greats but am sure he would do end in most era even in losing.

        Facts. ^^

        Here is an excellent breakdown video showing how Fury destroyed Wilder, and it goes deep into Fury's phenomenal technique, footwork and skills.

        Here is is, but it's probably a bit too technical for most of the casuals on here.

          Same people talking this nonsense will be the ones discrediting Joshua when he smashes Fury.

          The best 90s HW's would wreck Fury and Joshua.

              But Wilder in all seriousness? Is not a technically gifted fighter, he is probably the most Limited WBC champion, I have seen in the past 20 years in boxing.

              Wilder apart from his power, is stylistically tailor made for Tyson Fury.

              I am not sure why people are trying to make out, that it was a Mayweather type master class etc

              Note: Tyson Fury is still favorite going into the Joshua fight, I am just merely expressing my opinion on the Wilder fight. What Fury did show in that fight was supreme courage and single mindedness not to buy into the Wilder intimidation 'He was the first fighter to stand up to Wilder's power, and make him doubt himself'.

              Muhammad Ali did exactly the same vs George Foreman, just like Fury he was attacking the notion that Foreman was this monster puncher 'Fury leading up to the first fight with Wilder, continually refused to accept that Wilder was a monster puncher'.

              From a psycho-spiritual perspective, Muhammad Ali & Tyson Fury had to face and overcome the same challenges to defeat their opponents 'People were petrified for Tyson Fury leading up to the Wilder rematch'.

                  3 notable wins. Everyone and their mother saw him whip Wilder in the first fight.

                  The reason for lack of big time fights on his record is that firstly he was screwed around for ages by David Haye when they had a fight scheduled twice and then he retired at the peak of his career after the Wlad fight.

                    I watched a few minutes of the video 'Then I switched it off'.

                    Seen this man before, speaking on some podcast.
