Is Fury more skilled than Bivol and Opetaia

Uhh yeah, Fury arguably lost to a fighter with a record of 0-0-0, then that same 0-0-0 fighter gor sparked the F out by a guy who got a severe beating from a guy who was three feet shorter and had a gut that was three feet wider.

 

No to both

Fury's skill is not that great relative to size

It's only ever impressive because of how big he is

 

His skill is literally only great relative to his size lol, no other 6’7 265 lbs man can box like that.

 

Fury's S&C coach in a 2 hour interview said that in actuality, Fury was beating Opetaia up and Opetaia had 0 success. Considering how Fury ended up looking in Usyk 1, I see this as a distinct possibility.

Regardless of what I may think about Fury, he doesn't balk from tough sparring (hard sparring against Itauma, sparring Cunningham after the knockdown, etc.) and I've always thought Opetaia leaving abruptly was strange.

Ok?

 

Right exactly we are in agreement

Meaning if you took his size out of it his skill is not special

 

Kristian Blackrock is Fury's S&C coach. Obviously he's insanely biased, but it's also disingenuous to mention Fury's fight with Cunningham as a reference point when he had 2 competitive fights with an atg and arguably the pfp #1.

Yea. We both know all these sources are he said she said anyway and I was definitely more on your side before the fight and before I saw this interview, but Fury looked really so good against Usyk.

Blackrock says that Opetaia's a great fighter, but Tyson was really on that day and Opetaia probably hadn't sparred in a few weeks. I also think that it could have been competitive sparring but Opetaia just realized that it wouldn't help him against Breidis to stick around.

Also it's a really great interview. Kristian Blackrock seems super honest, talks about the aftermath of the loss, views the rematch as a 50-50, but hope Fury wins, etc. etc. He could be embellishing, but I really don't think that Fury got dropped or bossed in sparring.

 

No, Breidis fight was more competitive. Fury had his moments but really wasn’t that hard for Usyk.

 

No offense, but Opetaia is massively overrated. He only had 2 wins overall ranked guy Breidis and his other opponents are unranked and people are ranking Opataia as one of the greatest cruiserweights ever and head to head? I need to see Opataia fight actually RANKED opposition and dominating before warranting a higher all time ranking.
