Why do people call Fury slow?

Name and shame them!

 

''He jus big, dats all.'' -- Nazim Richardson + Steve Cunningham
''Ref let a big man lean wid his head, he gonna do wat he do!'' -- Nazim Richardson badly shook'n
''Foory jus arkwad.'' -- Wilder
''Wladimir didn't let his hands go, this is the only thing.'' -- Vitali Klitschko.

 

He is more intelligent than the average ESB’er

 

Given his reach and height Fury can cover distance as fast if not faster than ANYONE in the HW division.

Fury isn't massively fast but given his footwork & timing & size he's basically impossible to get away from.

Wilder couldn't believe the jabs and hooks Fury was landing on him at range. First time in 4 years Fury went to an offensive approach and it was glorious.

Fury can be abit of an arm puncher also but this allows him to throw and counter with punches from weird angles nobody expects:

(rear looping hook from southpaw stance, like bruh wat)

Fury is levels above the current crop. I can't recall anyone maybe in history who was so versatile at HW. He can do almost everything.

And the beautiful thing is he can has much more to offer, the sad thing (if you're not a fan) is I don't there is anyone out there who can beat him.

You find me a 6'8" 270 pound man in history who can do what fury does physically. you can't. He's the first of a kind. Pretty much all men this size are slow lumberous and gas out after 4 rounds.

 

I mean he's not slow but idk if I would call him fast either. He's smart and tricky and knows how to fight

 

This. Fury doesn’t really need to be that fast given his god given attributes and also that he knows how to use them. That said he’s fast for his size and Fury only ever seems to be vulnerable if you sneak a shot in from a weird angle or stop him in his tracks with straight to the body.

Also, the was the first and only time during the entire fight that Wilder followed Breland’s instructions. In some of the earlier rounds Breland can be heard telling Wilder to touch Fury to the body and to hit him with the right hand left hook. Breland himself used this strategy back in the day. Knowing how much Wilder has always hated Breland it must’ve really bothered him that Breland’s advice pretty much secured him a draw in the first fight.

In the last round when Fury was in range Wilder did as instructed and put Fury on his back, but wasted too much energy in the earlier rounds, so his combination wasn’t as lethal as it would’ve been in the earlier rounds.

 

People DKSAB

 

Is that mentally or physically?

 

Whatever he's doing slow or not is obviously working.

 

2 Fast was his nickname before he changed to The Gypsy King.

 

His first boxing nickname an an amateur was "The human beanpole"

 

That's up there with 'The Italian Dragon' for being a **** moniker.

 

It will only be a matter of time before Fury is caught with PED's in his system. That irish farmer knows they've been injecting hormones into their mad cows for the gypsy king to eat. Deontay knows it, so does the bomb squad. What was in Fury 's glove the night he robbed Deontay of that shiny green belt...

 

This. He's average in the speed stakes but he has good timing and a good sense of distance. Combine that with his size and he's a difficult customer.
