Can any heavyweight from history realistically beat Tyson Fury?

I agree, no real skills in my opinion.

 

Byrd beat an old Hoylfield and a young Vitali.

Fury beat an old Wladmir and a sloppy Wilder.

Fury and Byrd's resume are about the same.

Louis arms were not too small to reach Fury. Louis was taller than the 6'1 Derrick Chisora. Chisora had no trouble landing punches on Fury. Louis beat very tall opponents like Carnera and Baer who were 6'6 with long arms and beat the crap out of them. Louis would have no problem at all landing on Fury, especially if Fury gets dropped on his ass by the wild swinging Wilder 4x in 2 separate fights.

 

Its the fans. The casual sweet caroliners that don't help.

 

George Foreman in his twenties got retired by a journeyman.

 

Holmes, Ali, Lewis and maybe Foreman would have the best chances.

 

It’s well known Suga Valuev is a force.

 

Baer was 6ft6 was he?

 

It would be a long list!
His skill set is very limited. His awkwardness and size is what has really helped along with some very dodgy moves!

 

Be honest, the belly boy struggles to go 10 rounds, are you really suggesting he could go 15 rounds with the likes of Frazier or Foreman.

 

Pinklon Thomas was a little bigger than Liston with more of a boxers mentality rather than puncher. He had a similar jab to Sonny, heavy jab, very damaging.

I don't think Fury would beat the best version of Thomas.

 

That's been tried before but the possibility of success are extremely remote.

 

He is simply not good enough to beat those elite fighters of the past. He is a better celebrity than boxer. He would be steam rolled by some of them.

 

AJ was making excuses. He's 6'6", 245. Lennox Lewis was 6'5", 245, had no issues going the distance.

AJ's cardio just isn't there for some reason. Needs a new conditioning coach. It isn't like AJ isn't willing to put in the work. I don't think he's got an ounce of lazy in him when it comes to training.
