    How does the tiny, primitive Tyson Fury of the Klitschko fight perform against the modern, slick, superheavyweight Tyson Fury of 2022?

    I've made the poll public to force the old time Fury nostalgists to put their money where their mouths are.

    I’m going with the modern new and improved Gypsy King. I mean… he’s newer !!!

    The modern version wins so the other must not be prime.

    So the slick boxer of Klitschko vs Aggressive Puncher from Wilder II?

    If so I’m taking modern Aggressive Fury but Fury from Wilder III was one of his lack luster performances.

    I have voted for the Wlad fight version, who was actually well trained and prepared.

    A lot of people might disagree with me, but I think that was the best version that we ever saw.

    Everything was on the line in his mind that night.

    Some elements of his more aggressive game later, might have reflected weaknesses on his part, such as injuries.

    That style obviously won't cut it against everybody.

    Prime, slick Fury outboxes modern Fury who is slow, sluggish & hittable. Prime Fury boxes circles around current Fury to a wide UD.

    There's no way old timer Fury wins this. His head movement and his angles were too old fashioned. Especially the angles.

    The old style Fury would be destroyed by this new, ultra shiny new Fury, easy!
