    All would beat him. A lot of contenders would have beaten him as well. Good fighter fury...but the skill level was on a different level back then. I still say that eighties division was a talented era. A lot of the guys Tyson beat for example we,re really good fighters. Could do it all. Fight on the front foot. The back foot. Could throw when moving. Could box and fight. Had good stamina. Good punch variety. Weren't nearly as predictable as the modern day heavyweights. Could also take a punch better. A lot of them learned and honed their skills sparring round after round in training...no good for longetivity. But it improved their skills ring generalship etc no end. Nowadays its a lot of sport science. Its effective but its also left them with a huge difference in skill from the eighties guys. I wouldn't put fury in a ring with the real Tyson tbh.
    Fury still makes too basic mistakes for that level.
