    We don't know because his best win came against a semi-injured, unprepared 40 year old, past his best version of a long reigning champion in Wladimir Klitschko. Otherwise, he is relatively untested, which means we don't really know how good he truly is.

    For me, yes! Head movement and footwork are extraordinary.

    A 27 year old, prime Fury whilst 10 years younger could barely land a meaningful punch in 12 rounds on a 39 year old, semi-injured Wladimir Klitschko on his shoulders who didn't even prepare or train properly for the fight because his wife was in hospital suffering from post-pregnancy depression.

    That's not evidence of Fury being one of the most talented heavyweights ever. One fight never is! A consistent reign against multiple top quality opposition is.

    if it was so easy why didn't anyone do that before against wlad?

    even 2 years later wlad nearly knocked Joshua out and Joshua went life and death with him

    Why what special skills does he have?! He just stood off using his reach v Wlad who had shorter arms like Parker v AJ, Fury didn`t throw many punches and landed even less.

    no... he screwed everything for himself... wins the biggest fight of his career then balloons up to like 350-400 pounds.. even if he comes back I don't think he cracks the top 2-3 hw's

    What was so special about his head movement?

    Because Tyson Fury got Wladimir Klitschko at his worst time. Nobody else fought a 39 year old Wladimir Klitschko other than Fury.

    What do you think would happen when Fury is also 39 years old? Answer that question!

    What happened to 39 year old Lennox Lewis? Retired (and avoided a Vitali Klitschko rematch)!

    What happened to 39 year old Evander Holyfield? Lost to blown up middle weight James Toney!

    What happened to 39 year old Mike Tyson? Lost to Danny Williams and Kevin McBride!

    What happened to 39 year old Muhammad Ali? Lost to Trever Berbick!

    Should I go on!

    Why should I praise Tyson Fury for beating a 39 year old Wladimir Klitschko, when past heavyweight champions by that same age were losing to far inferior opponents or were retired?

    Fury is a fat, egotistic, ignorant, narcissistic, lying fool. He'd be a better US president than he is
    as a boxer.
