Tyson Fury on how he would go against the all time greats

who cares if he is so predictable

 

Stfu.

I've read enough of your nonsense on here these last few weeks to lead me to conclude you're nothing more than a moronic fanboy.

 

I bet you rub one out everytime the WBC releases a new belt.

It's all love here baby, i'm just rustling your jimmies.

 

The guys of the 80,s we,re far more skilled than the guys nowadays. Even taking away the main contenders. That generation get totally underrated today only because tyson blew most of them away....but looking at it from a skill perspective they could do far more than the guys today. For a start they all had good jabs. They could all punch on the move...all had much better footwork etc.

Furys competition so far has been a 40 year old klitchko and wilder...who does the same thing every fight....uses his reach advantage to spoil the opposition same as klitchko done same as fury does to be honest. Klitchko and wilder haven,t fought any decent big guys between them. The only time they have...they lost.

Furys good i m a fan tbh...but i reckon the guys of the 80,s and 90,s would have battered him. Not just tyson and holmes either. Theres about ten guys that would have either beaten him or gave him a great fight at least.

So many underrated guys from back then...i can list them if needed and the skills they show in pretty much every fight they had. All skills todays generation cant do.

 

Yeah tim was a bit of a plodder in terms of speed. Behind that tho was an intellegent boxer. With a good jab...could punch in combinations. Countered well. Had every punch in the book and used them. Went to body and head. Mixed it up pretty well.

Nowadays its basic skill in comparison....if the opponent moves forward they usually move backwards to nullify the opponent before edging up using the reach advantage to get a jab off. All three of klitchko, wilder and fury use the same method with different variations. They mostly just frustrate opponents. Its no wonder when wilder and klitchko came up against a man with a better reach advantage that nullified their predictable approach...they had absolutely no answers whatsoever...because they lack the skill that the guys of the eighties learned by tough hard sparring.

The guys of the eighties had other tools. Watch some of the fights outside the tyson ones. They had every punch in the book. Most of them moved well. They countered well. They used lateral movement. They had other ways when they came up against different things. The guys nowadays rely on the same one thing. Basically footwork to nullify opponents. When that gets nullified there lost because their athletes before boxers nowadays. Furys the best of the lot...most versatile. But hes offensively poor. Theres about ten guys from the 80,s with better jabs. Better punch variations etc.

Thats my take on it anyway. The games moved on for the better nowadays. Less damaging sparring. More rest between fights. Less reliance on taking a punch to land one...which was the eighties guys downfall. But its came at a price...the skillsets went way down imo

 

I know I saw it on yahoo.com, absolutely ****ing disgraceful.
