What is the closest fight Fury ever had?

Wilder 1 and 3 were probably his toughest life and death fights, but I thought he deserved the decision in Wilder 1.

McDermott arguably beat him

McDermott 2 WAS ****ING BRUTAL AND UNDERRATED!

 

McDermott 1 toughest fight imo
Wilder 1 also because he was nearly starched and fighting on the back foot until getting into final minutes
Wallin and Chisora 1 both a tie for third place for different reasons

Kiltschko wasn't a hard fight for Fury. The Cunningham fight imo was a tougher right for Fury than Vlad

 

Big John Mc back when Tyson was a novice

 

Well i thought McDermott beat Fury 1st time, and even their 2nd fight he made Fury uncomfortable who was looking tired at times.

I'd rate them like this.

McDermott 1
Wilder 1
Wilder 3
Cunningham
Wallin
McDermott 2
Chisora 1
Klitschko

 

Wlad did not win a single round

4? Lol he wishes

The hardest fight Fury ever had was against the sauna king Grabamir Clinchko in 2011 and Fury KO'd him

 

Of these fights you listed:

McDermott won 4 rounds
Wlad won 1 round
Wallin won 2 rounds
Wilder won 3 rounds
Chisora won 1 round

 

Wlad didnt win 1 second of that fight

 

Wilder 1. A lot of refs would've waved the fight off after that heavy second knockdown. Maybe there would've been demand for a rematch, and maybe Wilder would've took it feeling supremely confident, but at the end of the day if it weren't for Jack Reiss insisting on counting out a champ, there most likely wouldn't be any of this Fury-Usyk superfight

 

In terms of being close to a tie or a loss - it is the first McDremott fight. We can argue if it's a draw, lost or a close win for Fury, but it's another topic.

Wilder 3 was harder for him than Wilder 1 (where clearly the Americans saved their boy from a loss), Wallin caused him trouble because of the cut and the nasty tries to put his gloves into the cut, so to make the fight stopped - this is somethin Wallin stated himself, which is dishonest as an act, but at least the guy had the balls to admit it.

Klitschko and Chisora are not even close to be hard for him, Wlad was helpless and pathetic.

 

Yes, it turns out McDermott was the toughest challenge Fury ever faced.
Also, I think McDermott didn't get to wear the gloves he wanted or something. Could have been even tougher.
If McDermott wasn't such a fat crap, maybe he could have done a lot more at Cruiser.

 

You are so right. It was really interesting watching the video in which Jack Reiss explains why he continued counting.


As for Fury's closest fight, McDermott 1 easily. Wallin or Wilder 1 could have been called off. In fact I thought the doc was going to stop the Wallin fight.

 

You might say McDermott was his "Castillo"

 

Fury McDermott is basically the modern Thrilla In Manila

 

Mcdermott since he lost it
After that wallin cause of the eye
Wilder 1 for round 12
Cunningham
Wilder 3

Rest were easy wins.
