How does Tyson Fury fair in the 1970s?

I’m not making a solid prediction but I think we’d have to give him a good chance at being one of the top players.

 

He'd do well in any era. The 2nd fight with Wilder was peak performance. Last night was not unexpected. Massive favoured to win. All knew he was levels above guy last night.

 

Blew you away really ? No offense to you. And I'm not trying to sound hostile. But I thought it was a rubbish fight.

Whyte was so slow and sloppy, it looked like he was fighting underwater. Fury wasn't exactly setting the world alight either.

The uppercut was a peach of a punch, but Joshua's done it an old Povetkin done it. And apart from that one moment in the fight, the fight was rubbish and forgettable.

As I've said before I'm not a fan of Super Heavyweights now, I find them sloppy and boring. So maybe I'm not seeing what everyone else is seeing, but these Heavyweights now don't really impress me much.

 

Joshua destroy him anyway, maybe a couple of rocky moments along the way. And very very very old man Alex Povetkin did knock him cold. Not big surprise Fury did even better.
Fury's 2nd fight v. Dontay Wilder impressed more. for me.

 

He's mid level, no way does he lug that fat carcass around for 15 rounds in a fast spaced fight.

 

He has NO Chance against Truly Great & TOP Fighters...

his whole reign was a 'marketable' Protected Giant, Personality, 'Gypsy King' and all such Money Making HYPE.

a 2cd Rate Fighter in a Subpar NEW Division against NO ONE of any serious threat. Marketing, Timing, Hand Picked Opponents and NO AJ!!!

in Ali's time alone, along with Ali there was, Liston, Foley, Young, Cooper, Chuvalo, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, Holmes, BUGNAR (better than ALL Fury's opponents), Spinks and others.

to say nothing of a 100 years before and 20 years after, Tyson, Lewis and Co.

He is NOTHING and has NO Place among any of them H2H or P4P...

and that is why 'Achievement based ratings' are actually Completely MISLEADING, because they wrongly get translated into placement among REAL Greats.

Sorry Fury, nothing personal about you, but a Subpar S-HW Division, against NO ONE and a complete Ducking of the ONLY Proof that would have at least gave you some semblance of credibility.

Pathetic trying to pass this off as TOP Class Boxing.

no fear, the REAL Fighters aren't rolling in their graves, the abysmal performances & careers are too obvious to deny.

 

I'd favour him over most. A very special fighter.

 

He would do very well. The true great boxers would do well in any era. He most likely would of lost some and would of won some. I think Fury's mentality would of been perfect against the 70's boxers because I don't think Fury is scared of losing. If he lost, I think he would just rematch and most likely do a lot better in that rematch. He's a brilliant smart boxer. The best Heavyweight I've seen since Lennox and Lennox was special as well.

 

I wouldn't bet against Fury against any heavyweight in history.

Not saying he's unbeatable and I'd likely favor several in history to outdo him, despite keeping my money in my pocket, at the bookmakers.

He's a big problem; not easily solved.

 

Where the heck have you been! Long time no see dude.

 

Best skill boxer since Holmes among big men but 1970s there were 3 or 4 greats competing together. Fury can compete but not dominate.

 

It’s time to make a super heavyweight division…everyone gets so mad when I say it but…

 

No I agree I mean if you think about it and I've said this before. Some Heavyweights are like 4 or 5 weight classes apart in weight is that fair ? But the only downside I see is that for example look at Wilder, hes very tall but weight size he wouldn't be classed as a Super Heavyweight.
