    If you were to pick one boxer from the present time who would stylistically be a nightmare for Tyson Fury who would it be?
    Then pick a fighter from the past he would match up badly against and give reasons why?

    Wlad Klitschko when his wife isn't draining his life force away. Once he spends enough time out of the ring to let the PED allegations clear, I want to see that rematch.

    To be honest probably Wilder. Fury was very open to be hit in the Wlad fight but the guys so freaking awkward Wlad was too shook to pull the trigger. I think Wilder will take the risks that Wlad didnt.

    A punching Wladschko, Wilder and believe it or not... David Haype.

    And the current version of Fury probably loses to a lot more.

    Joshua. Muhammad Ali. Ali was just too fast. Fury would keep coming trying to rough Ali up and prime Ali would dice him up like carrots. Ali's jab is why he matches up against any fighter in boxing history.

    Yeah Fury is sorta an enigma, while I could certainly see him outboxing the likes of say Wilder I can't completely dismiss the very real chance that he get sparked out. I realize the Cunnigham fight was isnt a complete true indicator of his punch resistance but getting dropped the way he did vs a light hitting cruiser weight wouldn't bold well vs a gunner like Wilder or even AJ.

    One of the worst post I have ever read on this forum, fury very open to be hit in the wlad fight....jeez, anyone who has boxed knows wlad could not throw a right hand due to furys head movement, distance and footwork, he would have had to reach in to throw the straight right and fury would have counted him all night long.

    any big hw with skill and power is a nightmare for fury. thus his drama filled ducking, then retirement/suspension.

    The only one who would have a chance is AJ. But I still favour Fury. He's just too good and has a really awkward style.

    Joshua beats him today.faster than fury,a lot more powerful and his height isnt a massive factor as it usually is.
    No dis credit to fury because i like him,but he dropped the jackpot against a purely cowardly hw champ in wlad,besides that win he has to good wins over chisora and thats it.i think when aj gets to the same number of fights fury has now he will have fought everyone and cleared out the division.
    Lennox lewis would have caned him in his prime,quite a few would but his size would be a question mark over some.foreman would be a bad night for him aswell

    None.

    No man born from his Mother can beat Tyson Fury.

    And if your Gran had a set of bollocks she'd be yer Granddad.

    Wlad is as far from the fraud as can be. He is a true throwback to the old school fighters, never ducked anyone and dominated for 10 years. Fury owes him a rematch.

    I'm British and was very happy Fury won but Wladimir's personal life was an issue in my opinion, his wife was in and out of rehab getting treatment for depression after giving birth.

    I'm not saying that's the only reason he lost, there are plenty but that has to be one of them in my opinion.

    Tyson beats himself unfortunately. Truly gifted heavyweight who was getting better with each fight and now I can't see him coming back :(
