    Ali is so much more proven. Tysons gonna have to work likes he’s never had to work and he’s gonna get beat to the punch every time. Probably gets stopped late.

    How anybody who calls himself a sports fan can belittle what Muhammad Ali did that night is beyond me.

    Yes. Tyson Fury fought just like Joe Frazier and Joe Frazier is the perfect analogue for him against Muhammad Ali. Joe Frazier purposely made himself smaller in his fights like Tyson and Marciano so Fury would make himself smaller and bob and weave against Ali.

    He does it to all the guys Liston forward. Ali beating Foreman is one of the greatest wins in the history of boxing and a threat to his personal heroes as they never had one remotely like it. It's really this simple.

    Its great beating a man who never paced himself and threw shots without much angles with bad stamina?

    If George Foreman had such bad stamina why was he only stopped once in eighty one fights?

    Well stamina doesn't have anything to do with being stopped
    Any casual should be able to see it doesn't matter the style fury is just way more skilled as I said 3rd time now which ali never seen,it wasn't a style problem that caused ali his trouble with joe it was Joe's skill

    It was Joe's style that bothered Ali . Ali beat much more technically sound fighters than Frazier but if you think the 5'11" Frazier is the perfect analogue for the 6'9" Fury don't let me stop you. Is Fury going to fight Ali out of a crouching position?

    Joe had a son would his style which was real similar to his dad's bother ali?the Answer is no cause joe was more skilled at it so no it wasn't just a styles problem as I said,and I explained more gjen once fury is way more skilled then joe it wouldn't matter which style he used for Ali he has like 40 years of better skill training, 40 comes from the best Ali which was in 60s

    So instead of comparing Joe Frazier to Tyson Fury we're now comparing him to Marvis Frazier. Muhammad Ali had a son, Muhammad Ali, Jr. Are we going to compare him to Muhammad Ali ? Re: Marvis. He was better as an out boxer. The worst thing to happen to him was firing George Benton and letting his dad turn him into a swarmer.

    ... and letting his father throw him in the ring with Holmes for his 10th fight and Tyson for his 16th. Set your inexperienced (for a pro) son up against Holmes and Tyson in their primes. Just, what?

    A poster defended Joe by saying he turned Marvis into a swarmer so boxers wouldn't avoid him if he continued as an out boxer which he was actually good at.

    I don't buy the argument that the boxers of today are ipso facto better than the boxers of yore. Does anybody believe Canelo could beat Sugar Ray Robinson?
