Corrie Sanders was actually a really good athlete, sprinter, rugger and if you consider it a sport, golfer. Tyson was a horrible athlete supposedly.
Tyson Fury wasn't a slow twitch athlete, he was a fast twitch athlete with good cardiovascular endurance. Joe Joyce is a slow twitch athlete. Throws 80 punches per round. The pfp punches thrown leader throws 87 punches per round and they're a Super Flyweight.
P4P means relative to size, and relative to his size I think Fury qualifies. Compare Roy Jones Jr's speed with Patterson's. Compare Mayweather's speed to Hector Camacho or Meldrick Taylor. Then compare Tyson Fury's speed to the 2nd fastest 6'8, 270lbs man and it's not close. At his peak, the difference between his speed relative to that of his similarly sized peers is just as large if not larger than the people smaller than him. That and whilst he does lack punching power so does Ali, yet he's on these lists too.
Fury is obviously an athlete with an abundance of slow, not fast, twitch muscle fibre. His stamina for a man his size is extraordinary.
Indeed he did. Norton excelled at several sports, a natural born athlete. Most impresive, it seems Norton didn't make weight lifting or took any "enhacement substance", only calisthenics and Charles Atlas' dynamic tension coupled with freakish genetics. IIRC he was so good at high school and college sports that a so called "Norton Rule" was introduced putting a cap on the number of events an individual athlete could compite, because Norton was winning them all.
His son also won three super bowls. He's one of the greatest athletes in boxing history, no doubt, amazing genes.
