    Both are really good with head and upper body movement given their stocky build and can be slick up close. Who would you say has better defense in your opinion? Whose defensive skills are you more impressed with the most?

    Id say fury, get him fit and prime and he doesn't get caught clean as much as Canelo does.

    Well, we have to compare their competition as well.

    P4P I rate guys like Golovkin, Jacobs, Cotto et al above Wilder and old man Klitschko. Fury is more fun without a doubt, but I have a feeling that if Wilder can land his hail Mary shot not once, but twice, then its time to stop clowning and concentrate on the task at hand.

    I'll take Canelo, because I feel that not only is his defence effective, but that he uses it as part of his gameplan to make the other guy miss and then counter that miss.

    40% Fury is slicker than 100% Clenelo. Imagine a fat giraffe with huge love handles being more agile than a lemur. It doesn't make any sense but nothing makes sense with Fury because he ''defies the laws of ethics''

    Canelo rides a lot of shots when he looks like he`s getting caught, he wouldn`t have been caught flush how Fury was by Wilder, plus Fury made the mistake of moving back on a straight line against Wilder, that was a huge flaw in his defensive work v Wilder.

    Do you think GGG is harder to hit than Fury though?

    Wilder is far better P4P than Jacobs is.

    Fury has never fought high p4p fighters like Canelo has, if not he would've hit the floor more often

    Bum Squad can't even box or fight, all he can do is bowl over bums, win gifts over the inactive drug-ravaged shells of 40% gypsies and go life and death with senior citizens who have cement feet, can't avoid a right hand if their life depended on it, and suffer from dangerously high blood pressure before bludgeoning them to defeat with about a dozen rabbit punches. Daddy Jacobs is light years more talented than Bum Squad.
