1980 Muhammad Ali vs Tyson Fury

The question is....why?


Is this some sort of twisted way of proving that todays heavyweights are 'superior' to those of the 'overrated' golden age?

Because that's what this thread seems like to me

 

Yeah, it seems senseless. I mean, we could point out that the diet drugs stupefied Ali, & even at the end of '81 he was somewhat better. But what interest would it be to see what top 10 fighters could beat a Parkinson's Ali when on a misguided health regimen?

What indignity is next?

 

Tyson Fury, in my view. Not that competitive either. Sports at the world level is nothing to sneeze at, and with one man in prime condition and the other with severe health problems, there is only one outcome.

 

Steve cunningham was a better fighter in 2013 than Muhammad Ali was in 1980, as hard as that may be to imagine. Ali couldn't do what he traditionally did best anymore and if he couldn't escape Fury's bullying tactics he'd hammered to a stoppage...

There ya have it....

 

All Hail Lord Fury :soccergr::soccerye:

 

Making fun of someone who has Parkinsons is not really my cup of tea.

If you want REAL fun.

Lets have Prime Ali vs Prime Fury :yep

 

:mj

 

Michael Jackson > MC Hammer

Jackson has Thriller, Billie Jean, Black/White, Dont Stop Till You Get Enough.

MC Hammer, Cant Touch This.

Jacksons resume was much better

 

Tyson Fury sucks. And I'd pick the Ali who fought Leon Spinks to at least win a decision over him.. But the one who fought Holmes was too far gone to give a chance against any rated heavyweight, let alone one with that kind of a physical advantage.. Tex Cobb might be the best fighter that Ali would have taken in 1980.

 

"Foremanjob" ! Sometimes you have dark humor.
Fury is a mediocre but trained and seemingly healthy fighter.
Maybe Ali was very sick in 1980.
How can you create this stupid question?
