Saying Wlad beats Fury prime for prime is ridiculous. Fury beat Wlad at 27 which means he was probably further away from his prime than Wlad. I think Fury gives anyone in history a tough night. He's like nobody before him with his freakish size and excellent boxing ability. Some of the greats may nail him with a big shot and take him out. But few if any take him on points. H2H Fury is a nightmare.
Tyson Fury has talent, but unfortunately he doesn't have the will nor the discipline to ever be a real threat to any elite HW fighters in their prime.
He completely nullified Wald's jab, what makes you think he won't do that to all of them? IMHO he'll beat most of the shorter boxers, maybe even take Ali to a close UD. Fury is wide open for an overhand right though, so the likes of Tyson, Foreman, LL especially would knock his arse out. Vitali would wear him down as well. He'd play with Holyfield as he's got better footwork than LL. Ike would probably destroy him also.
Neither was Calzaghe or FMJ. Both had elite boxing skills at their weight classes though, as does Fury.
Don't know. Just saw one full fight of his with Wlad and some YouTube highlight. Didn't impressed me a bit.
fury has no power and no chin. he isn't fit to hold vitali's jock. he scraped by freaking bums so far, then ducked every challenge save an old man. then shamelessly ducked the rematch. sorry but fury is the guy who fought pakic and cunningham, not an atg.
I think he gives most of them a bit of trouble at least. His size combined with ring IQ and awkwardness and pure skill and speed, he's a handful for anyone, even the greats.
The combination of size, reach, weight and timing, alongside the seemingly unreadable feints, make him a tough match up for anyone but not unbeatable
A 6'3 215 pound Ali transported in a time machine from 1964 pisses his pants at the size and speed of Tyson Fury.
Fury boxes Riddick Bowe's head off, leaving him swinging at shadows and either losing widely on the cards or getting KO'd due to exhaustion.
No past heavyweight boxer can deal with Tyson Fury 6'09" frame, especially that big Heavyweights were generally on the same level as Journeymen Welterweights P4P, basic boxing skills & average punching power, they did well vs each other, but they will get Rag-Dolled silly vs Tyson Fury, unless Tyson Fury shows up lazy, then he will just do enough to win. Still beating all ATGs in every possible scenario, 6'04" Bully Foreman will be the tiny weak guy, Muhammad Ali long fast jab, will fall short, very short....Larry Holmes repeat of Ali, then the even smaller Heavyweights have the same chance Manny Pacquiao has vs Tyson Fury, with their main advantage being too small & harder to find...until Fury Ices them...
