    Alis own words im sure you've seen the clip " im not a puncher, im not known as a puncher, gimme 15rds and i'll whup him ". Ali speed made his shots harder as they be caught unawares, he was definitely not a hard puncher !

    He could I was going for sarcasm. Ali is an underrated puncher.

    They brought him up because Joshua is where the money is at - my overall point is Fury has the best charisma and is the best self promoter going. The media isn’t embracing him enough

    Fury is one of the greatest HW pure boxers of all time. Easily.

    Watching him fight Chisora and Hammer southpaw just as well as he does orthodox is ridiculous.

    After he beats Wilder again for a 2nd time then AJ we can put him top 5 of all time i'd say.

    He will have fought them all and beat them all & overcome his own fair share of hardships in and outside the ring.

    Never forget that one bad judge is the only reason he doesn't have an easy W over Wilder on his resume despite getting dropped twice and once brutally/

    Tyson Fury may never be a huge mainstream star in these times and many of the population will be totally ignorant of his charisma and personality. Even if he beats AJ, many will just think of it as "the time AJ lost" rather than get a full grasp of Fury The Legend.

    But I predict in years to come, long after he's retired, they'll make documentaries and write books about him.
    And plenty of older people will pretend they will always down with him from day one.
    He'll be recognized in due time.

    Give them time. He's spent the last couple of years retired, depressed and overweight. Now he's back and doing what he does best the positive coverage is appearing and I think he's beginning to get more of a popular following than he ever had up to and including the Dusseldorf win. The comeback kid narrative is a strong one and who knows where it may take him?

    100%

    The moment he showed the boxing ability against Wlad in 2015 I was a hardcore fan. This man will not be beat any time soon. You can guarantee that.

    AJ and Wilder arn't on the same tier.

    2019 is Fury year.

    So were Wlad’s and Mayweather. Ali too had plenty of stinkers, Fury can sell outside the ropes he has the personality to be the face of the division. The sport needs that
