    You know the concept of the hyperbole, right? Fury had great footwork for a heavyweight his size. Was extremely light on his feet.

    lol isn't it extremely hyperbolic to the point of a **** take? The bloke has been put down about ten times across all levels. If he was a defensive genius who moved like a lightweight or middleweight then how could he be put down so many times, especially if he has this so-called great chin, good tactical knowledge, and technical skills?

    No heavyweight of his size has moved like him. He was the first of his kind. You find me a 6'5" 250+ man who can move like that, you can't.

    Vitali Klitschko moved a lot better than him and he was the same height t 6'7'' (yes fury isn't 6'9'')

    Rubbish. Vitali didn't move like Fury and you know it. His twin Wlad got his face boxed off unable to do anything but gawp and throw headbutts

    That's because Vitali didn't try to. He had a different style, but he was far more nimble on his feet and he was more athletic than Fury.

    Do you try to imply boxers who have great footwork can never be dropped?

    You are straight up lying, Vitali was extremely robotic and always fought in straight lines, in both athleticism and movement Fury absolutely smokes him. He’d make Vitali look stupid had they ever fought.

    :lol: Everyone got absurd after Wlad. To be fair, us older cats who sat through K2, even if we were fans of both brothers, we were hungry for a rivalry. Some greats putting on a great fight because we hadn't seen anyone who might maybe give a Klistchko brother problems in more than a decade. I think it's close to two if you include both the champs but didn't bother to look at dates.

    I think probably the Wilder fans were the most absurd because we still are absurd. Ask me who the heaviest handed HW of all time is. To this day. But the truth is Wilder's just my guy. A lot of what pisses the world off I find charming because I'm from the south and don't have and culture clash to deal with.

    That said, bro, Joshua's fans acted like he was the flawless golden lion of england anointed by Jesus to display boxing perfected during a time in his career when his critics called him Stiff and Flex because he was in posture and build more akin to a body builder than boxer. Modern Joshua, the very same Joshua who lost to DDD, is way better than Stiff era Joshua but his fans from that era, my guy, hyperbole doesn't begin to describe the teabag guzzling these cats did.

    But yeah, Fury's fans were pretty absurd. Big fat man outruns a lumber giant not exactly known for his depth of technique, footspeed, or angles, and all of a sudden he's Ali just bigger. GOAT? ****ing GOAT? Dude. Lennox and Usyk being undisputed around him and Wlad juxtapose them well. No disrespect to GK or Hammer, but Emmanuel didn't hide Wlad was best using a basic amateur style and absolutely no one in the Wilder ecosphere ever hid the idea Wilder's just looking to land that right. GOAT? Bro moved like a tall fat man putting his tits on shorter fighters always move tbh. Waves his hands about and bends over at the waist? Move over Apollo ... ffs.

    It was a **** ton more fun than "Bet Wlad beats the out of shape, undersized, no hoper" followed by a bunch of "Yup" and the odd K hater who for some reason hates the only in shape active HW.

    When Usyk retires he will tell stories to his grandkids of greedy belly the giant who could dance

    I take the opinion of men who graced the ring with each other over haters who want to belittle fighters

    LOL Vitali would have knocked Fury out for sure. Fury couldn't even do a single pull up yet you claim he's more athletic than Vitali Klitschko

    Vitali would get schooled, too light-hitting to put Fury out and doesn't have half his boxing skill. Fury may not do a pull-up but he can do this while Vitali moves around the ring like a spastic Donkey having a seizure.

    What does his brother, (they're not twins), movement tell you about Vitalis exactly?
