Sultan Ibragimov vs Tyson Fury

Man lost to every slick Cuban he ever fought and a mover like Malik Scott yet would beat a master boxer with elite ring IQ like Fury. Okay

Only wins on his record are over the corpses of Briggs and Holyfield.

 

What a dopey opening post

 

Sultan has only 1 loss to Klitshko.
You are confusing him with somebody else.
He is a southpaw like Wallin, but with power.
Do you know any other boxers except Fury AJ?

 

Do you know even know he was an amateur and those are the losses I'm talking about?? Read up on him then come back to me before giving it the big 'un again.

 

What kind of idiot do you have to be to vote for Ibragimov

 

Lol, Fury's amateur record is a lot worse than Ibragimov's.
Why are we talking about amateurs anyway? Because Fury's pro resume is thin and full of epic battles vs Sefer Seferi and Pajcic? And one of the biggest highlights is almost being stopped by Wallin?
Fury has talent, but you also need to have discipline and determination to succeed at this sport.

 

Ibragimov? Fury would toy with him, and I actually rate Ibragimov in the skills category. But he was far too small and didn't hit hard enough to trouble Fury.

Usyk is the only smaller HW I'd give a great chance of beating Fury.

 

Sultan didn't look all that great against Ray Austin, but I think he was generally a bit better than he showed in that performance. Still, I would take Fury to control the range and use his height/weight to his advantage when Ibragimov cuts the distance. Clear decision.

 

Sultan was a very good boxer, a smart southpaw and a hard hitter, but he wouldn't have beaten Tyson Fury at his best. Fury's just too big, too mobile and too good.

 

Your name is Truth_teller yet all you state are opinions. Ironic.

Sultan Ibragimov was too small and couldn’t really hurt Fury. Fury on the other after training at the Kronk Gym is both a master boxer and now a fighter who can sit down on his punches and hurt anyone he steps in the ring with.

Wilders right hand left hook didn’t knock Fury out and that was in the twelfth round... you say Sultan Ibragimov would knock him out in the late rounds with way less power so I have to ask:

Is this fantasy of yours one of those old timey twenty six round fights where Fury would pass out from exhaustion?

 

I really liked Sultan but at 6'1", he would have virtually no chance.

 

Sultan Ibragimov was always one of the most intriguing HW's for me personally in the last 30 years and I thino he could have had a very impressive career had he turned pro early and got with a top trainer and had good management. Southpaw with the hand speed of a 249 SAW on cyclic and very good movement and very good power. He was one hell of a package. But he was also only 6'1 and would always be at a substantial height and reach deficit against any super heavy's.

Look, Wilder couldn't KO Fury or keep him down with the tomahawk missiles he landed flush on Fury, so Ibragimov is NOT stopping Fury on anything but possibly cuts or medically related corner stoppage. As far as skills and talent go I don't see either having a clear advantage over the other or anything other than negligeable, so that leaves size and reach as the most probable factors that hold the most weight in this contest. And in that area Fury has more than a considerable advantage.

In 10 fights Fury UD's Ibragimov at least 9 times but probably 10, while Ibragimove might be able to pull one win out of his ass. I don't see either of them stopping the other.
