    Fury is a pillow punching fat smelly hype job

    Usyk whupping him was great for boxing as it ridded us of the loud mouthed myth for at least the short term.

    I’ve got a feeling that damaged goods AJ also pumps Fury. I’m no expert but my gut feels are usually close.

    There is a reason Fury's scared to death of AJ.

    You have to watch Fury around the time of the Wlad fight. That was when he was very defensive and pretty light. He called himself 2Fast2Fury. It wasn't just a myth, a lot of fighters said how hard it was to land on him.
    Before those times he was reckless and did get caught a bit.
    After those times he tried to be a KO artist.
    By the time of Usyk he tried to go back to 2Fast2Fury but was older and fatter and had an idiot trainer.
    It worked a bit though as the first fight showed.

    Obviously he never moved like a MW, but neither does Usyk. A MW would look extremely fast next to Usyk.

    Fury has been put down by Pajkic, Cunningham, Ngannou, Usyk... I think you haven't watched Vitali if you think he can't move. He was very athletic. lol at talking about light punching. Fury isn't a big puncher at all.

    I know that Fury from Chisora 2, Hammer, Klitschko was different but he didn't mov like a middleweight. He moved quite well, but not well enough to say that with a straight face. He was still clunky. However, he embraced that whole movement thing. If Joshua embraced it, he would've appeared lighter on his feet and a better athlete than Fury.

    I would say they posses similar power. Both average for their size.

    He had very good movement for a big man, good timing, good jab, actually could jab on the move, ring IQ. Could have dominated for 10+ years, had 20+ title defenses, but did not have the dedication. People need to stop calling fighters, while in their prime, ATG's. Especially when they still have weak resumes. It can get in their heads that they can't go any hire, so they don't put in the effort.

    I agree with you on. He moves very well for such a very big man.

    He also has good skills, tenacity and boxing IQ.

    Its fashionable to dump on him because of his losses to Usyk but objectively, he brings a lot to the table.

    are you really gonna sit here and say ability to do pull-ups is the only thing that matters in terms of athleticism? Like that’s some kind of sure fire, proof?

    Down not out.
    He was literally known to be the more robotic of the two between him and Wlad who looked lumbering against Fury.
    The fact that he is a bigger one than Vitali says a lot.

    If you think Fury isn't exceptional ydksab and are also greatly discrediting Usyks heavyweight reign...
