    I think Canelo's defense is better, but it's comparable. When his defensive skill set is combined with Fury's size and style...I think he is a harder guy to look good against. Canelo's defenisve skill set combined with his chin and style make his more impressive to me.

    I'd put money on that Wilder knocks Canelo down

    Oh, it's Canelo by a mile. Fury is only looking good because he's clowning fighting bums with no reflexes and no technique. If Canelo didn't have great defense Golovkin would have taken his head off.

    I feel GGG and Fury are A level fighters and you mentioned a heavyweight GGG in relation to Fury being a second string heavy, the original question is about defense so compared a heavywweight GGG Fury does not have a second string defense.

    Canelo found Jacobs easy to hit.

    no, fury is not an A level fighter. i know you cant see it now, but you will before fury retires.
    yes, the question was about comparable defense between fury and canelo. i brought up ggg because he IS an A level fighter, and canelo looked brilliant defensively against him. a guy with shwarz skills would never lay a glove on canelo.
    a hw ggg would put fury away in 2 rds.

    How many fighters with shittier defenses than Fury have lasted more than 2 rounds v GGG? P4P Wilder is a far harder one punch cruncher than GGG is.

    Canelo. Fury is 6' 9", so leaning back some automatically results in a high chance of evading head shots.

    Why didn’t Fury put his hands down against Wilder?
