    Holyfield had perhaps the best footwork of any heavy in history. Peak Holyfield had a huge punch rate, difficult to tie up, great head movement, great counter of big men, and loved nothing more than chopping down tall timber.

    I dont see Fury dealing with Holyfield. Cant hit him, cant catch him, cant defend against him, cant stay with his punch rate.

    Fury is ok if you are a modern big lumbering heavyweight, ...but put him in against someone who can punch, move, slip, counter, great punch rate, and run circles round foot slow predictable fighters, Holyfield slays the giant in classic fashion!

    TIMBEEERRRRRR!!!

    I like Evander personally but he was jacked to the max on steroids without which he would have remained as a cruiserweight and this fight would never happen.

    That said, the roided Evander that beat Tyson would probably UD Fury

    Tough fight for Evander imo if Fury chooses to fight negatively. I got Fury UD.

    Fury from the second Wikder fight has a great chance. Fury from the third Wikder fight would have been KTFOed.

    Evander was not a slick fighter.

    All warrior. Nowhere near the best version of Holyfield. Holyfield vs Bowe.... Bowe would have murdered Fury...AND Lewis.

    Your being a sarcastic fucwit... (the lowest form of wit, means you are probably a Pom) but Fury is way too uncoordinated, and stylistically limited, to claim to be the GOAT class or to even beat great fighters in their prime.

    Theres some seriously good fighters that at their peak were unstoppable. Ive never seen a version of Fury that i see as in that group. His body of work may be ok, but fighters are judged by opposition.

    How good was Wilder really? Does Wilder make Fury an ATG? Wilder alone? Sorry, no he doesnt.
