Tyson fury in historic context

Historically, the draw steals what would have been an incredible story.

 

Let's be real, that awkward style & huge mobile frame, he would hold his own in any era. Remember that was a Fury who'd just had a nervous breakdown! He boxed the breaks off WK & Wilder & I am a huge WK fan...

 

Historically, he is a bit of an enigma compared to other lineal champions, and thank goodness he has come out of retirement to settle the account.

He basically beat nobody prior to fighting Wladamir Klitschko, and then scored a shutout win over the best heavyweight of his generation!

Based on this record, we would have had no choice but to rank him as one of the worst lineal heavyweight champions, even though his last fight suggested him to be much better!

The bottom line is that he ranks much higher head to head, than he does based upon resume, at least for the time being!

 

I think the best thing about Tyson Fury is his heart. Giving his whole purse to the needy if I heard correctly. That is something else. You would never see someone like Larry Holmes do that. The more I see Tyson the more I like him. Just a great thing for boxing.
