    Watch peak Mike Tyson's defensive movement. Underrated and leagues apart from Fury.

    Ali would dance circles around him. Vitali I also enjoyed with the awkwardness.

    His movement looks better than it is due to fighting sausages.
    Even Wilder can't box for ****. He just has all time great KO power. Wlad was 40 year old.

    Put him in with prime Lewis or Vitali and he'd get beat up. Would never happen though as he's a world class ducker.

    For his size his movement is very good, but not the best ever. Chris Byrd was more elusive for example.

    It depends on the style. For a come forward fighter, Mike Tyson has amazing movement. For a defensive fighter, Wlad had amazing movement. Fury is a more rounded fighter so it's hard to compare, his movement is more comparable to Holyfield and Ali.

    See how he shifts with that giant gut under him next month. Like fighting a man o' war jellyfish.

    Inefficient and easily shutdown by top tier fighters. Mike Tyson is effectively a 6 round fighter even in prime and that ain't enough to stop titans who could take his punches and take him deep. Mike boxed to a rehearsal and when he ran out of ideas it was over. top top fighter will adapt and come out stronger down the stretch. Mike never came out stronger down the stretch. He mentally faded and didn't like that some men could handle him. Now I know Holyfield fought a faded Mike but still...The Tyson everyone reveers is a prime 1988 Tyson. A mythical creature that didn't beat any top men because he fell off so fast. Tyson fury will have beaten top tier fighters in his prime and at the end of his career because he's a titan, Like Muhammad Ali. Find a way to win. Mentally supreme.

    That's all true, but 88 Mike would have taken Fury out inside 3 rounds so none of that really matters does it?

    Fury would eat Mike's best and laugh at him. Not that any man 5'10" could hit Fury.

    1988 baby Fury would beat him

    Fury is basically a slightly better Mike Jameson

    80s Tyson would maul him.
