    Good points. Fury's footwork is the million dollar question, as is his head movement. If they're not on point, George could easily catch him. And he's got more than enough power to get the job done if he does (goes without saying).

    If Fury's footwork and head movement are on point, I could see George getting frustrated, becoming predictable offensively, and eating a lot of shots as a result.

    Ok.

    How do you see the fight going? What tactics do you think Fury would employ to catch Ali, clip his wings, and ultimately ko/decision him?

    I'm thinking a younger Ali would be way too slick and much too fast for Fury to catch him with meaningful punches - and an older Ali just too smart a ring general. Either way, I imagine a clear victory for MA.

    I think George can out maneuovre him and pin him back to the ropes where Fury won't get much leverage.

    At that point he has to clinch George and risk losing the fight on points or if he has the ability he has to time him and soon him.

    There is the chance that his jab will command Foreman's respect and slow his charge also.

    I think ultimately he's largely unproven. Cunningham, Chisora, Hamer, Johnson and Wlad.

    It's entirely possible that's as good as his resume will ever be.

    Then again he might beat Wilder, Joshua and Wlad again and be considered one of the greats.

    Very hard judging currently active fighters.

    All you do is destroy yourself. It's not a debatable subject.
    Study up foolish one.

    What does this have to do with Ali and where is the footage of Pacquiao?
    I don't think highly of Wlad already so that doesn't help your point.

    Also, there is a big difference between Wlad's punch and Fury's

    Fury is in a perfect position to punch his opponent, Wlad was in a pretty awkward one. Can you show footage of anyone that beat Ali uppercutting themselves?

    you will do anything to try and turn the table on the side of your point,but if you think J. young can knock down 90's foreman than you really dont know much about boxing and the fact fighting BETTER competiton of the 90's is a better measuring stick...(yes the Holyfields/Morrisons / Briggs and Moorers etc )were better than old Frazier, J. young and Lyle who fought the more easier Foreman of the 70's who had poor stamina and technique and less punch resistance,if you cant see that then you are blind.

    What am i trying to turn round?

    I do think Moorer is better than Lyle and I did see Young knock down Foreman.

    I still don't know why you wanted to pretend that never happened btw.

    I don't actually understand what your point is tbh.
