Is Fury more skilled than Bivol and Opetaia

It's actually very fair tbh, for instance Wlad and Lennox both were Fury's size and far more fluid and coordinated than him..............He arm punches, sometimes flails, at times his feet are all over the place and not underneath him..........that's just a couple things, there's much more. He does the wrong thing alot. Fury doesn't really have any coordination at all, and it's not due to size. There's a wasteland of guys that are smaller that lack coordination.

Bivol is simply heads and tails above Fury as far as skill set, it isn't close. You would be hard pressed to point at anyone regardless of weight class and say their skill set is higher than Bivol's, there simply aren't many. Regarding Jai, I would say our eyes are telling us this. He doesn't have to have had the competition or number of fights Fury has had to see that he's beyond Fury as far as skill set. His coordination, shots, footwork etc...It's simply evident IMO. Loma barely had 20 fights, I don't think anyone would argue were he compared to Fury. I do understand what you're saying, I think Fury is skilled.............again for a HW. He's simply not as skilled as these men. There just aren't a lot of HW's who are very skilled at all (save for Usyk who is supremely skilled on a historical level), let alone as skilled as smaller guys.

 

No worries bro - I've read your posts on this thread and they're good takes, I think the 3 are all similarly skilled but I have no issues with someone saying 1 is more skilled than the others

 

Bivol is more skilled than fury. Not even that hard to determine.

 

No, he is not

No, he did not

Fury's your very average big man champ aligned with primo and valuev not quite Willard and def not Lewis. ATG HW, nothing special out of the ATG HWs though

 

I don't think either were nearly as fluid and coordinated as Fury, they just had better punching mechanics. They were a lot more lumbering and limited on the move and their upper-body movement was pretty much non-existent.

I agree on Bivol, but I can't really agree with Jai. Throwing pretty-looking uppercuts on a shot Briedis just doesn't impress me as much as having Usyk geniunely puzzled for a time, I've never seen Jai in a chess match like that. Jai looks better as he probably has better technique but I've seen fighters with better technique and fundamentals get outboxed too many times.

 

Sorry, but Jordan Thompson IS nothing when we're talking about world level boxing. So is most of Jai's resume for tha matter
