Tyson Fury one of the most talented heavyweights ever?

You're an absolute lunatic. How can you hold everyone to the same standard when every 39-year-old you've named boxed at a different standard while aged 39. Age is literally just a number, especially in sport. Bernard Hopkins got better with age, an age most guys decline. Wlad's prime was arguably in his mid 30's. Mike Tyson was at his best in his early 20's.

There is zero logic to what you're saying. Every fighter peaks and declines at different ages. We seen Wlad come back at 41 almost KO Anthony Joshua. You're obviously a wind up merchant. I won't be wasting any more time with you. Goodluck in life.

 

How many Olympics gold medalists have there been at age 39 or after in athletic sports?

Age isn't 'JUST' a number. Age dictates what level one's reflexes, mental sharpness, speed and overall athleticism are at.

Bernard Hopkins had inconsistent performances after the age of 39. He absolutely wasn't doing as well as he was doing at a younger age.

If Wlad fought bums / journeyman after age 40, then he could win but against the absolute top boxers who are 10+ years younger, it's a different story altogether!

Science contradicts your viewpoint about athleticism and aging! Come back to me and tell me how well Fury does, after he reaches age 39 or beyond. Until then, your point is moot and Fury's achievement of beating a 39 year old Wlad who was ill prepared counts for very little until Fury himself can do better by the same age.

 

Without a question - yes he is.

Not unbeatable, but one of - if not the most talanted of all time for sure.

 

Like Rigondeaux against Lomachenko, or Parker vs Joshua.

Ali was always out of range. Moved his head back against small and short opponents.

Just like Ali for his time. The combination of size and movement is what's so great about them compared to the rest of their divisions.

 

Liston had more reach than Ali, so did Foreman, Ali used the rope a dope and great glove control of Foreman`s lead hand! Loma is far better than Parker or Wlad, look how Loma used the jab Fury didn`t throw as many jabs as that and ran all over the place Loma was right in front of Rigo while moving still positioning himself so he can counter, Fury didn`t throw enough counters because he was out of range and far more negative tan Loma was, Rigo`s reach was longer than Loma`s, your not trying to say Fury could be the p4p best boxer in the world are you? That would be going too far!

 

Foreman 78.5
Ali 79.
Liston 84.

Both Speed and height goes to Ali over liston and speed over Foreman.

So not that hard for his head movement leaning backwards to be effective.

 

He had one great win and is a complete featherfist. Since that win he's failed a drug test and not had a single fight.

 

No Tyson Fury is not a talented boxer. There are no genes that make you a good boxer (or singer, or violinist).

 

fury's uncle was sick and he used it as an excuse to run for the hills from ustinov. you are hilarious, spend years saying wlad sucks, now say fury is great for beating an old, shot wlad. wlad giving joshua everything he wanted at age 41 just shows joshua is a huge hype job.

 

he was getting badly schooled by an old, shot, featherfisted cw. needed to lay on him every chance he got to wear him down enough to get a pathetic victory.

 

Oh yeah , his uncle had just past away too , so Fury was dealing with bereavement on top of everything else. Forgot about that.
If i was just a blind hater , i could say Fury is a bum like a lot of others do and use the fact he lost to such a guy to further this agenda im supposed to have against him. There's no shame in losing to an exceptional talent like Tyson Fury at the end of the day.

 

you are the worst hater on this forum. most everything you spew is straight up bs.

 

Hold on! Not the same Wladimir Klitschko. Klitschko was much better prepared for Joshua... and you know this. I think you are just trolling. Fury is/was decent but he don't get carried away.

 

Yawn....

A death in the family motivates some. Douglas beat Tyson after his mother died... Tyson had just lost a sister, not many people ever mention that though.
