    Not at all Tua was one dimensional with slow feet, Tyson on the other hand was much faster than Tua, quick feet, much better variety in his offence, actually had a jab unlike Tua.

    Tua is comparable to Tyson in regards to their size but apart from that they're nothing alike and Tyson is a level above Tua.

    When Wilder decked Fury twice in their 1st fight he only weighed 212 pounds which is about 6 or 8 pounds less than Tyson in his prime.

    If anything it shows Tyson could significantly hurt Fury if a one dimensional 212 pound Wilder could, Tyson is a far superior fighter to Wilder with much better offence and defence.

    Tyson was a shell of himself vs Lewis I don't think that fight has any relevance to what a 80s Tyson is capable of.

    Fury would frustrate Mike Tyson to the endth degree, a big mobile unit who is skilled in use of that size, would Mikes mental fortitude be able to withstand Furys style without imploding?

    Mike was a front runner, but if Fury takes Mike into the deep waters of the later rounds then i see Mike losing.

    prime mike beats the chicken grease out of tyson fury, lol. fury has nothing to stop mikes hooks, nothing. that leaning he likes to do works on mediocre fighters, not on elite aggressive fighters.

    You're dreaming man.

    Lewis beats Fury for fun. It's not even a competitive fight.

    You can't take a guy into deep waters if he chins you early. And prime Tyson is getting Fury out of there that quick that his head would spin.

    Those I think he probably beats:

    Jack Dempsey
    Rocky Marciano

    Ken Norton
    Andrew Goleta



    Pick'em. 50-50

    Joe Louis
    Ken Norton
    Anthony Joshua
    David Tua
    Joseph Parker


    Those I lean towards beating him:

    Sonny Liston
    Larry Holmes

    Wlad Klitschko (prime)


    Those I would bet one eye AND one arm AND one ball to beat him:

    Muhammad Ali
    Mike Tyson
    Lennox Lewis
    George Foreman
    Vitali Klitschko

    "I'm Menny Marianco. From the Monx." he used to tell people. No one knew what it meant. They thought it was because he had a cleft palate. He would also confuse people who misattributed his malfunction by singing "Rock of ages, rock of ages, cleft for me." In truth, his palate was fine. Nothing could explain the gibberish.

    He could literally beat all of them besides maybe the Klitchkos and Joshua.

    Jesus, y'all need a biology, physics, and history lesson.

    Someone list for me Tyson Fury's displayed abilities.

    For example, we know the man can pivot.

    We know he can throw basic punches.

    We know he can bend at the waist, and retract the bend as well.

    ****, I am already at a loss. Surely this man who is such a beast h2h against ATGs who are so quintessential to the sport they named techniques has done more than bend over, stick his tongue out, retract, and throw a left hook while pivoting out.

    Surely this Jesus of the ring has actually displayed a skillset worth writing about.


    That or a bunch of fairies who clearly struggled with 3rd grade level physics are doing a whole lot of assuming based on size. Assuming technical ability, assuming physics, assuming history.



    So please, prove to me I am wrong and you're not a troglodytic flat skulled cro magnon who repeats unsupported speculation like as if it isn't stupid simply because you've seen most others do so.
