    Is he beatable? Yes....
    1) Nobody would have complained if he was stopped against Otto.
    2) Nobody would have complained if the first fight against Deontay was waved off.
    3) He has no proven consistency at the top level as he hasn't defended a belt (forced to fight top 15 fighters one after the other)

    Will he be beat? Who knows, the media love him so he now gets the bias he has always complained others got....ironic.

    A.J fanboiZ are ridiculous.
    Only one A.J fight I see scheduled is A.J vs Pulev. :D
    Pulev is 39 y.o uncle and sure does have lesser chances to beat out crap of A.J than Ruiz, Wilder or Fury.
    Nice fight for protected A.J.

    Who had been forced to fight 15 top fighters in row?
    A.J ?:ohno. for him last defense was with fat Ruiz, Ruiz beated him up because he is better and then A.J in rematch outpointed Ruiz.
    Was Ruiz mandatory or just looked enough out of shape and fat to pick him up as replacement?
    Is A.J really better boxer than Ruiz?
    It only might be proven in match A.J vs Ruiz III.

    He might well do but that means very little to me.

    It just tells me that he manipulated things by not offering rematches or by fighting opponents well below his level.

    I'm suspicious of fighters who retire undefeated.

    SRR lost, Joe Louis lost, Ali lost, Duran lost, Hagler lost, Henry Armstrong lost.

    As has been said, fury is a rare breed


    given his size, (he’s so tall he can lean in and back out of range in a split second) fast mobile movement, very fast hands and brutal counterpunching,

    but his drawback is his real punching power, but he does seem to have increased his knock out and effectiveness in his recent fight with the newly adopted Kronk aggressiveness

    Love him or hate him, he is the real deal

    I don’t see anybody beating him in the foreseeable future, and he may retire undefeated

    Fury’s biggest challenge is himself, if he can maintain his focus, mental health,and his physical abilities he very well could.

    I rate Fury very well; but, I think he will lose before retiring. We have seen him in trouble in fights. He's been down. He has self admitted mental issues. We have seen his weight go up and down. It would be no surprise if he shows up unmotivated and under-prepared for a fight. Then, there is the rarely-defeated enemy of father time. If Fury fights on long enough, eventually he will get a loss.

    Please stop - PMSL

    The facts are that if any figher fights on long enough at a high level, they will deteriorate physically and start to lose fights.

    It is inevitable as gravity.

    The only reason why a high level elite fighter could retire undefeated is if they are very careful with their match making and/or they retire before they markedly physically decline.

    Now in Fury's case, he comes across as the type who will fight on way past his athletic prime so defeats are likely.

    Yes most people had big John by 7-3 or 6-4 in that fight, even Tyson accepts he actually lost it. I think I scored it something like 7-3.

    I think he spent his entire training camp in weatherspoons for that fight and learnt his lesson to prepare more professionally after that.

    In 4/5 rounds he couldn't drop a very wobbly Wilder except for tripping him over his foot....not exactly powerful

    To defend a belt, you have to fight a top 15.

    Even Agit Kabayel is top 15, but that didn't go ahead.

    yeah, depending from org top 12 or top 15.
    In HW plenty of highly ranked boxers are slow! and relatively old.
    Fury had IMPROVED.
    He had been supposed totally out of shape but he proved that he might train hard if is motivated.

    Fury does have money, don't know how long he will continue to fight.
