    yeah he looks clumsy but at the same time has an excellent defence.

    but As it stands, I think lennox would beat fury the majority of the time but fury would win a few also, like it said maybe 3/10.

    it’s a testament to how far furys came that him v lennox is even up for discussion.

    let’s see what he can achieve, if he can beat aj, Usyk then he will have to show some more aspects to his game.

    but yeah lennox for me. 7/10 times

    It really is. Been watching Fury since he was a prospect punching himself in the face! :lol: Guarantee not many thought he'd make it this far back then.

    The improvement was ridiculous, sometimes he got some thrashings in sparring too. The pajkic fight he looked shocking 6 fights later he’d beat wlad.

    I think it would be a great fight and an inferior soutpaw like Wallin gave Fury problems, in any case it`s a fight I`d love to see.

    I think after the Vinny Maddelone (Sp? ) fight is when he started to realy take off, be more serious, and taken more serious. But TF will always be sort of an enigma in boxing. But hey, so long as he sings after his fights, I'm happy. :)

    would be a tactical affair. I personally see fury winning, chisora isn’t ideal prep for a fight like fury.

    But then again not many guys that are huge and can move like him to practice.

    although chisora is a good warm up if it’s aj he’s facing

    maybe kabayel would’ve been a better warm up

    AJ has better reach than Chisora and throws a lot of shots from the outside, AJ actually mentioned sparring with Chis himself and said he was trying to keep him away but it was really difficult because he was so strong.

    Wallin is a true heavyweight with more power and strength and could back Fury up and could reach Fury because he 's 6'6, Usyk can not back Fury up, and if you're 6'3, you can not fight on the back foot against Fury, because how would you hit him, you've got to force things to get things against taller guys, and Usyk is too small in weight to back Fury up and too small in height to fight him on the back foot and he can't outjab Fury so I don't see a way that Usyk could beat Fury

    Usyk`s jab is vdery good as is his footwork moving in and out, his high guard would bother Fury also.

    It WOULD or it COULD? Hint, it's the latter. The former is a form of an absolute, and it's not an absolute guarantee.

    But I don't see with the physical attributes and what Fury can do in the ring, how could Usyk get near Fury? Fury would control the range and maybe Usyk is more skillfull, but if you have that height and reach and know how to use it and Fury has a lot of it, you can use it to neutralize the smaller man's skill and not allow him to get close to use the skill

    Fury is the tallest guy in boxing... and he HAS been hit many times by guys smaller. Like a ton! Until Fury is NOT getting hit by smaller guys, we can't suggest Usyk would NOT be able to land on him, based on his smaller size.

    Is the smaller guy you're talking about by any chance Steve Cunningham? If so there are a lot of things to consider, it was an overhand right, a very specific punch that cannot come from that angle against a southpaw, so Fury getting dropped against Cunningham shows nothing on what could happen if he fought Usyk, and another thing, it was 5 years ago, when Fury had hair, I bet you never even knew who Fury was that long ago, he's been bald for years lol jokes aside since Fury came back, he's shown no vulnerability to the overhand right he's changed his style a bit since he came back, he rushes in less and that's what got him dropped against Cunningham
