    Why do people think John Fury was a great boxer?

    I think the general consensus is that John Fury's better at fighting on the cobbles than in the ring which makes the prospect of a fight with Iron Mike intriguing.

    I don't know they're both in their late 50s now. I don't think John Fury was any worse than Kevin McBride as younger professionals.

    I hope for decency purposes that Fury wears a baggy t-shirt like Corey 'T-Rex' Sanders did for his exhibition with Mike Tyson...I do not wish to see an old man's upper body jiggling around like when an old lady wins at bingo.

    In fairness you can see plenty of these types of bodies watching moden heavyweights fight.A lot of them look less fit than your average grandad !

    On the cobbles against low skilled guys, a professional fighter with no gloves on would literally kill a man. And the fight would be over in 30 seconds.

    John Fury was hopeless as a professional fighter he got stopped by a fighter with a losing record the mighty Steve Garber, who funnily enough lost to Kevin McBride which proves your theory wrong.
