    Fury didn’t take Wallin seriously at first, he was just supposed to be a tune-up. Once he got cut he woke up and dominated the guy despite Wallin blatantly cheating and using his glove to widen the cut.

    Bowe’s inside game flopped the first time he tested it against someone his size that knew how to fight in the clinch (Golota).

    There’s multiple proof, Fury has a higher KO rate in better wins against bigger men, is much bigger than Biggs himself and has knocked Wilder out cold and bruised Usyk up almost as bad as AJ did in their rematch.

    Ngannou was an off-night unless you believe he can give a tough fight to Usyk. His punch output was pathetic because Wlad didn’t throw anything against him due to how confused he was, Bowe would and give Fury plenty of opportunities to counter.

    Wilder would drop Bowe as well if they fight 3 times.

    Fact of the matter is, Bowe was more or less a size bully with good inside skills who had no defense and no long-range game beyond a good (but inconsistent) jab. He would be the smaller guy in this fight and Fury would outbox him easily. He’d jab the hell out of Bowe, land his left hook and right hand whenever he wants to and Bowe’s lumbering feet would never be able to get through the faster and rangier Fury’s distance control. His inside game? Nullified and smothered in the clinch. The fact that all you can do is bringing up Fury’s lows says it all, you know as well as I do that Bowe’s got no chance against a guy that did what Fury did against Wlad and Usyk. Bowe should pray to god the Ngannou version of Fury shows up against him, otherwise he’d get embarrassed, as he did against any relatively big guy that could box a bit.

    Bowe literally beat bigger fighters/guy than Bowe himself? Plus size doesn't make as much difference as people say in boxing.

    Sure, I could see Fury causing Bowe problems but in the long-run Bowe would break down the crap out of Fury. No way that Fury is going to survive that constant skilled pressure and bodywork from Bowe. This isn't Chisora we are talking about who gave Usyk a very tough fight.

    Fury simply doesn't have a better win than Bowe's two wins over Holyfield, nor Lennox either.

    This is truly someone who is a true master of his craft and one of the best fighters of all time on a head to head/prime for prime sense.

    Wallin won 4 rounds and rocked Fury at the end. Fury is susceptible to overhand rights and big guys who can work on the inside, that was Bowes bread and butter. Klitschko was what 39 ? I don't see Fury being able to take his jab away either, even tree feet limited Whyte had Fury on the ropes in spots. Fury can only outbox him, he can't do anything else realistically

    Bowe bullied undefeated 6'7 Gonzalez with ease and walked him down with the jab. The fact is Fury fights nothing like Golota, Golota was on the inside, bobbing and weaving his head in the pocket, counter punching and staying shoulder to shoulder in spots. He also hits much harder than Fury, Fury would get wrecked up close. Of course you call all of Furys bad performances off nights, but any of Bowes bad performances mean he’s trash. It's double standards. Furys looked like crap in more fights and was never undisputed champion, factm Golota over Ngannou any day of the weak. Fury gets beat up down the stretch and trying to raise his workrate will only open him up.

    Usyk has significantly passed Bowe.
