How durable is Tyson Fury?

Incident #1. Did he lose to John McDermott? Probably, but it was an early fight. Fury's 8th. I have not seen this fight so far, but I have been told it was a bad decision meaning " fat John " as he is known was getting to him, and possibly hurting him to the degree where he didn't engage enough. If this was a bad decision, Fury's undefeated record is tainted.


Incident #2. The Fritha match. A 20-8-1 heavyweight stuns Fury. Fritha wasn't very good nor did he stop maybe people ( only 8 Ko's in 33 fights ) , yet he stuns Fury. Hmmmm....

Incident #3 Down vs Pajkic

In the second round of their fight in Manchester, Fury was floored for the first time as a professional. While Pajikic can hit some a but, he's not a power puncher. See the 14:11 mark of this video

Incident #4 He was hurt and floored by a blown-up cruiserweight, past his best and not known for power. His name was Steve Cunningham, owner of a 25-5 record loser of 3 of his last 4, age 36.

See the 47 second mark for the knockdown. Fury ended up as the winner ( Down on points ) . At this point, those who were following his career know his chin was questionable to medium-level punchers. Smartly he, hasn't fought any oppoents who can both fight and punch, the blown-up Cunningham probably being his best opponent to date.

Around this point some changes I think were made. Fury began taking PED's and was busted for it in the Christian Hammer fighter at a much later date. His hairline also receded, possibly from PED use. At age 26 going bald is bit unusal, yet Fury did. If Fury was busted at a later date for the Hammer fight, might have he been on PED's for the Wlad fight in the same year? It's very plausible.

But on that faithful night, he caught Wlad post Steward, at age 39. He was disinterested and Fury in his best possible shape. The end result was Fury lineal champion of the world on points. Father-in-law time after all is un-defeated.

Style wise, Fury figured out that he simply figured out has too much height, reach and mobility for his " opponets, " and should use it, and not brawl exposing his chin which was shown as suspect by 3 other opponents. Likewise he matches up best vs. long in the tooth, larger heavyweights who have limited movement skills. So as Lineal Champion he picked the 39 year old Sefer Seferi ( Ranked 45 at the time by Box Rec ) for his first title defense and the slow footed and washed up Pineta for his second lineal title defense, taking the Italian who lost 2 of his last 3 fights the distance. It was Pineta's last fight, and he was nowhere close to being ranked.

Part II how durable is Tyson Fury?

Style wise, Fury figured out that he simply figured out has too much height, reach and mobility for his " opponets, " and should use it, and not brawl exposing his chin which was shown as suspect by 3 other opponents.

Enter Wilder. A very hyped puncher who can't box well at all. I felt Fury won the first fight by a few points, but something interesting happened here. Fury was floored twice. Once in the 9th round and famously in the 12, where he was out cold, came too and avoided Wilder best for the remainder of the final round. Now the media thinks he has a good chin? Granted Wilder is a top-level puncher, but he didn't land much in this fight besides the two knockdowns. Chins don't magically get better in boxing ,and we saw Fury's level earlier in this department. The media sees it as wow, he got up! I see it as Wilder if he had any finishing ability would have won and the flooring is just a continuation of what happened before, with a larger audience watching this time.

After this fight, which I consider a legitimate title defense, Fury fought two more top 30-50th ranked guys, each of who lacked speed, and only had moderate skills in Schwartz and Wallin. Except Wallin might as well have been wearing a knife on his glove, as he cut Fury badly to the point where the fight could have been stopped. Fate smiled again on Fury as he won it on points, but it was close enough

After this, Wilder returned for a re-match, and Fury put the fraud stamp on him by huring him too eaisly. Wilder of coruse blamed his ring costume for being too heavy , and now seems delusional. It's hard to say if Fury or Wilder were on PED's, as neither by contract obligation is allowed to talk about the results of the drug test, which to me sends up a red flag.

This brings us to today. Fury and Joshua are going to go at it in June, with the winner at least if it's Joshua obligated to tight the winner of Hrgovic vs. Hunter.

While its true that Joshua can be outboxed by the best or lose on points if he's not aggressive enough, I'm going with him to win big. Eventually, he'll land that big right hand. He has more skills than anyone Fury fought which isn't old and probably has far more power than anyone Fury got caught with with footwork and finishing ability to end it. If this fight happens, I see Joshua in six giving Fury a shot if Joshua is too gun shy from Ruiz to out box him on points.

 

Well Fury hasn't been active in over a year. And my title 's last words in a historical context was chopped off.

 

I don't use those words, ( Could offend some ) but something close to it can fit as someone voted grade A.

 

WOW, based on his past times being floored and stunned by what most would call non punchers?
