Try and think of the lowest ranked HW you think has the best shot of beating him . Has to be the current Tyson against any HW in history . The more obscure the better and a reason. I will start with Carl Williams . His speed and excellent jab I think give fury trouble . Could be interesting if Carl can keep his jaw protected.
the Fury madness has to STOP - He / They ARE S-HW's, different animals and 2cd Rate at Best! Give it up, seriously. Thousands of fighters at ALL Weights across the years put Fury & Co to rest.
At this point…I’m not sure I would favor anyone to beat him? At least nobody I would wager on. I don’t like saying it TBH I think Iron Mike has the best chance of stopping him…but after wilder not sure if anyone is keeping him down? pts? Probably Lennox Wlad or Vitali as the guys I think match up to him the best? I imagine my classic forum membership will get revoked now, but oh well.
I think there's a good chance Spoon gets him with that. And Tim was a good finisher too... I don't think Fury gets past prime Wlad, much less Lewis, 1992 Bowe, most certainly not prime Iron Mike...
This is opinion but I have a very strong one.. like him or not fury would school all these guys people have mentioned. 6’9 85” reach with insane athleticism, terrific handspeed, a great jab, can switch stances, elite footwork, and he’s mastered the ability to fight from range..he’s literally impossible to outbox if you’re shorter than him. Witherspoon and Williams would be lucky to win 1 round, or last the distance because Fury is tough and can punch too
Most of the top men whom fought Witherspoon went the distance. thinking Witherspoon could put fury away with 1 right hand when 6’7 bomber wilder couldn’t do it in 3 opportunities is very wishful thinking Meanwhile, Spoon was outboxed at times by several men much shorter, slower footed, and weaker than Fury.
Holmes was taken life and death by 35 year old Norton, 6’2 Witherspoon, 19-9 Mike Weaver, and journeyman Carl Williams ..yet he’s gonna school 6’9 260lb, 85” reach very athletic Fury ?
When was this “right hand bomb” tested on a 6’9 260lb 85” reach man who could fight orthodox and southpaw, bounce on his toes for 12 rounds, triple jab, throw lightning combinations from all angles, and hit hard enough to knock you out?
No offense, but are you Tyson Fury? If so, you should know that you are not and never will be considered a big puncher.
No offense but I looked at other your post, and for me your overrating Fury and seriously underrating the other fighters. Wilder is not good outside of his right hand, yet someone as limited as Wilder had him on the floor 4 times. Whyte is average and had been knocked out twice before, W.Klitschko was coming towards the end of his career. Has Fury ever beaten anyone as skillful as a prime Tim Witherspoon ? or any of the other fighters mentioned ? You seem to rate Fury very highly for having a pretty thin resume, and not beating any real skillful Heavyweights. Outside of an old W.Klitschko in a sparring match.
hes 6’9 260lb. The man can hit. You think a 195lb champion from the 1920s could survive his punch for 12 rounds?
