What heavyweights from the past had a similar style to Tyson Fury?

Jimmy Ellis?

 

Nobody is unbeatable, but Fury is 6-9, 275, he has grown up in a boxing family, he is as relaxed in the ring as FMJ, Chris Byrd, Lomachenko, etc. (all boxers who grew up boxing). Fury fights using any "style" that will help him beat his opponent. He can stay outside and jab and move, he can be aggressive and walk his opponent down, he has the ability to adapt. If he ever fought a bigger, faster opponent, he'd probably use head movement, get inside and fight like a small man. Boxing "style" can change but Fury has the fundamentals, and the boxing instincts that come from being around boxing forever. His size is just a bonus for him and his movement and speed are unique in a big fighter.

 

He's pretty unique. Certain guys have aspects of his style, but no-one else has ever put all of these attributes together like he does.

 

I see a lot of Ali and some Holmes. But he’s more defensively oriented then they were. Uses his height extremely well. Weird seeing a man that big being that elusive.

 

I see alot of ali and tunney in him

 

He is his own man

 

I hope that he stays out of trouble, because what I see, he is talented. Looking forward to the Deontay Wilder rematch.
