A prime Iron Mike versus a prime Fury would be a very interesting fight. I'd argue that Mike has better knockout power and speed, but would he be able to overcome Fury's size and his resiliency?
Fury is a proven juicer. What isn't proven is his ability. Being that he has never beaten anyone decent who was even near prime.
Fury is a lot taller and bigger than Mike. Mike will have to jump to hit Fury's face and chin. So, Fury will K.O. Mike inside the first 6 rounds.
Fury imo. Too big × too skilled × too tough × too natural. I give Mike very little chance against a prime Fury.
This Fans forget, Mike's arms are attached to his shoulders not the top of his head. The angle he would be throwing at is going to be almost impossible to score a knock out with. What do they think he is throwing, dragon punches? Fury likely doesnt even have to protect his chin for the majority. That's a massive defensive advantage. Then add in Tyson would be at a major disadvantage against a guy who knows how to use his size. I just don't see it
Mike had no problem with 6ft5 and 6ft6 guys in his prime Tyson Fury is just a less hairy version of Sammy Scaff
Personally I think Tyson wins but it’s very close and I think Tyson would have some good moments but over all I’m picking Tyson.
Mike Tyson always struggled with bigger guys. It would be a repeat of Lewis - Tyson. If its 88 Mike, its much closer but I still have Fury, Simply because he has the footwork to stay away for the first 6 rounds and Prime Mike didn't have much stamina after 6 rounds
