    I understand the nostalgics and I'm one of them, but Fury wins this, the height difference is obvious and Fury is technically on par with the best ever...

    Fury is relatively easy to drop, too. I could see Frazier winning a UD with multiple KDs.

    If he times an uppercut then maybe but Smokin Joe is relentless. Looking at stats on paper, this fight should be all wrong for Joe but we all know who the better fighter is of the two. Size is not necessary the winner here.

    A lot of people would think Wlad destroys Frazier. If that's so then Fury does the same.

    This is the correct response. If Frazier beats Fury then there is no need for weight divisons at all. 200lb vs 270lbs.

    Tyson Fury vs Joe Frazier:

    This is a very interesting fight, Fury should win this quite comfortable, if he stays humble and follow his gameplan.
    Staying out of range, using his 85 inch reach, i also believe Frazier’s dangerous left hook would probably get countered by uppercuts.
    Another problem for Frazier, he is a slow starter as everyone knows, so fury would pick up a lot of rounds.

    However…

    Fury is known to be a dickhead, and he will probably **** off Frazier before the fight, and we all know what happens when you enrage him.
    Of all people you really don’t wanna anger Frazier, cause he will come for you and grind you into dust.
    Ali learned that the hard way, something similar could happen to Fury no doubt.

    Tyson probably with a boring decision, but don’t ever count Joe Frazier out.

    I think Fury at his best is a handful for most. Height, range, movement, roughhousing, heart. He brings a lot into the ring. But so does Joe. Nobody was ever 'too big' For Frazier. Foreman was just too devastating. Fury is going to have to get lower to met Joe which will give the latter opportunites. It's in the moment Fury will want to rest that Joe will do his best work. That left hook was super quick. It won't so much be the weight of it than the unexpected impact. Joe was a much more effective puncher than Chisora. He's more explosive. That's why wondering whose the 'harder' puncher isn't the right question. We're not punching static targets. Mike Tyson was devastating because of how he set up the combo's. Frazier also really thought about his combos. He didn't just wail away like Del Boy. He didn't huff and puff after a few exertions like first timer at weight-watchers.

    I think Fury's going to have a job stopping the guy from '71. If he doesn't, he probably loses.
