I would really like that...but I don't think Fury will make it past Wilder. Wilder has a life's agenda against Fury...I've heard it from insiders. What happened last time won't again. This time Fury goes out. Cold.
What shape was that Rich? Pear shaped? Beach ball shaped? Beanbag shaped? Ruiz was a slob at 268lb in fight one and was only comparatively in good condition compared to the 280lb blob that waddled his fat arse into the ring for fight two.
This content is protected LOL! Andy definitely could use more guidance in that dept. I was pretty mad when he showed up looking like he did in that 2nd fight, I thought it was a slap in the face to his fans. I had respect for him when he stopped Joshua, but that went down a notch as soon as he stepped in the ring looking like that in the 2nd fight. No excuses for that. Still, I think Andy is just below Wilder as a heavyweight. I see Fury as the best for now, AJ second, Wilder a not distant third, and Andy a solid 4th. All of them still have some proving to do...to even reach the heights of...say...Vitali (much less Wlad). Again. just my opinion.
He would certainly be a tough proposition for practically anyone. He’d have a significant height and reach advantage over many past heavys and a pretty awkward style to contend with. His chin isn’t too bad either as he took some solid hits from Deontay Wilder and Wladimir Klitschko ( who was past it. ). What’s more is that the further back you look in time to find someone to beat him, the greater his physical advantages would be... I’d still favor Lennox Lewis, Ali, Holmes, and maybe even a young Wladimir to beat him but no guarantees.
Tyson Fury is a good heavyweight, he needs more victories in proving himself (title defenses). When I was watching the first Ali vs Patterson fight on closed circuit tv in 1965, someone from the audience was saying Ali was the greatest following that victory, another person in the audience said, we have to wait and see him in more title defenses before you can say that.
Joe Louis would have mauled him to a stoppage imo. Liston would have kept him down after combinations.
Alot more. Neither one of those is a great win. Wlad was 40+ and fury used his height and youth to stay away from him for a boring decision. Wilder is good win but not a great win by any measure considering wilders resume as a titlist was nothing more than a long string of mediocrity and his best win was also 40+ years old in Luis ortiz. If that is your definition of a great fighter then your bar is incredibly low
I absolutely don't count old man Klitschko. It would have been a different fight even five years earlier.
