Tyson Fury was nearly KOd in his last fight, how much does he really have left?

    Fury was never going to get the advantage over in the states. GGG vs Canelo in the first fight was what you would call a proper robbery, and maybe Kovalev vs Ward. All he had to do was remain on his feet in the 12th round, and he would have got the nod. He just couldn't take Deontay's devastating power. I can't picture Tyson, being put on that level of skill with the likes of Ali or a Mayweather. He's use to having a big height difference over his opponents. Wlad Klitschsko wasn't just some legendary boxer either. Dominated a weak division. And lost his last 2 fights at the end of his career.

    The next choice of opponent is really important. I can't see him looking especially good against someone like Parker. For him to look impressive, it needs to be against a brawler type who he can counter.

    If Whyte was American he'd be perfect (assuming that ESPN will probably want him against an American opponent). Perhaps Adam Kownacki would be a good choice. I think Fury would make it look easy against someone like him.

    Just because the fight was in the states and always going to be favoured against Fury doesn't make it not a robbery almost every one in Boxing has it a either a Fury win by 1 point or 2. No one has it like that Mexican Judge did with Wilder up. It was a robbery coz if that judge wasn't either blind or blatantly corrupt Fury would've won. I don't think Fury is as skilled as either of those two you mentioned and I don't think he's as skilled as Jones or Charles either but signing 80 million is not running from Wilder it's a business move that put the Wilder fight in jeopardy

    I think it was a good business move for Fury, extends his career, like when he relinquished the belts against Wlad. But someone like Joshua, wouldn't depend on judges decisions to get the win. He'd be alot more aggressive, and go for the KO. That's why I'm not a fan of Fury. Can't imagine Mayweather to be dropped and hurt badly, against a fighter with those windmill like punches.

    Well I can't argue with that. I'd much rather pay for Joshua Klitschko then Fury Klitschko
