TYSON FURY 2015 V MIKE TYSON 1986?

Didn't he fight the whole fight southpaw as well?

 

I can't remember. I know he did that with Martin Rogan in 2012.
Thing is, Fury's southpaw jab is noticeably worse than his orthodox yet he can still get away with fighting that stance because he's just such a good boxer. I'll watch Fury-Chisora 2 again, see what occurs.

 

People need to put things into perspective. Fury had a great win against klitchko. But klitchko was never a great. Came along at a time when the division was dead...just worked out a perfect gameplan with steward against smaller average fighters. Samual peters almost done him. And samual peters doesnt have a career of note. Had a split decision against an ancient james toney and lost to eddie chambers.

Furys a big man but hes a part time boxer in comparison to tyson and a lot of guys back in the 80,s. I d love to see a comparison of rounds sparred in training from then and now. The guys back then learned to fight by sparring. Thats why you see tyson whacked by ruddock and not budging. Then joshua being shut down from a shot by whyte. They we,re also hardening their bodies by fighting everyday. They we,re proper spars as well...not like you see today. Probably didnt do their longetivity any good but wasnt bad for making them able to absorb shots. Learn how to work out styles. Learn to adapt.

The guys nowadays are touch sparring in comparison and lifting weights to be strong. The 80,s guys would have wiped the division out nowadays. That wilder is a world champion and yet makes so many basic mistakes. Parker...is average at best. Mitch greens a better boxer than joshua. Go back and watch the 80,s heavyweights i ll tell you something right now they can all box...and very well at that. Their single shot fighters nowadays. Lets see what happens when the face guys that can use combinations. Holyfield would have battered them all. Tyson the same. I d say theres a lot more guys from the 80,s/90,s that would have as well. Too much looking at losses on records and not enough watching them fight enough.

 

First fight i seen on youtube after typing that message above...tyrell biggs v james tillis. Biggs was a big man himself...6 foot 5. Both we,re seen as fringe contenders in the grand scheme of things. Now tell me what fury done skillwise that was better than them two guys in that fight.

 

Nope. Maybe over Buster Mathis or Hector Mercedes.

 

Deleted what response? Fury would be tough for anyone, but tough for Tyson might be lasting until the 6th round. I see a lot of guys capable of blasting away at Fury and looking sensational.

 

Tyson never fought any has big and skilled as Fury, Fury would win by points or Tyson would quit in frustration.

 

Yeah, my bad, you didn't delete a response.

I'm not sure how Fury would do against a prime Mike Tyson but he had a lot to spare against Klitschko.
I suspect Fury was a better professional boxer than Tony Tucker who had done nothing before 1987 either.
It'll be a shame if this guy's wasted his talent and never gets in shape again to give himself a chance of defending his championship.
