- Retired for 3 years during his prime. - Fantastic skills, great jab, can KO or box his way to victory. - Great chin and stamina - Insane speed, fantastic offence and defence. - Never boring as a person I think he could have been the best ever HW boxer if he had been disciplined at all. Or at least one of the top 3-5. He wasted so much of his potential on stupid ****, and is now clearly ducking competition, or is just not interested anymore. Really kind of sad. So much talent + Insane physical abilities = Never seen anyone with such a unique mix of both. Natural fighter + Insane speed for someone that size. Has there ever been such a freak of nature physically with this much talent in a sport?
Yeah I think Fury could've cracked the top 10 heavyweights ever list, I really do. He had the skills, the attributes and once had the mindset to beat everyone in the generation before him, everyone in his generation and even a few contenders of the future generation Instead we got 33-12 Derek Chisora 3 on PPV Hopefully this heavyweight generation can move on without him but it will be tough. The #2 and #3 guys have already fought twice, Wilder is Wilder and the rest of the top 15 is either guys on the slide or guys on the come-up
Usyk will probably go down as one of the greatest now. Hardwork beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard
I will just consider that Usyk has defeated Fury, who surrendered before the first round. Usyk TKO 1. But yeah, Fury could have been a top10, perhaps _even_ top5 ATG heavyweight. But no excuses for not facing Usyk now, absurd.
he aint that good. never has been. he knows it as well, thats why wilder is the only name on his resume in the last 8 years. and wilder cant fight. can punch, but cant fight. you think that record came about by coincidence?
Preach it! Fury made Wilder out to be some monster while in reality Wilder struggled for years with B and C level fighters, relying on his power to bail him out of fights. FFS, even Gerald Washington managed to get a lead on the scorecards. Had to throw the kitchen sink at Duhaupas and even Molina. Amazing power, fantastic athlete, **** poor resume despite 10+ world title fights. Fought only 3 legitimate top 10 contenders.
I think Fury is not sure he can beat Usyk. If he refused 60/40 split 60 to winner then let him go fight Joe Bloggs
He shouldnt be scared to risk losing a fight. He's not Floyd Mayweather. Nobody cares about his zero since he lost to Mcdermott anyway and AJ also already lost. He has plenty of money for a few generations as well. If Usyk is better then congratulate him and move on. A true boxing fighting man doesnt shy away from a tough fight, it excites him. Turns out Usyk is that guy and Fury isnt. Especially given its an undisputed heavyweight fight for the first time in 20 years. I was really rooting for Fury from his comeback till Wilder 2. After that he turned into a diva and a ***** and isnt acting like the guy I thought he turned into when he came back. Very dissapointing.
