Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted October 10, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted October 10, 2021 Just watched the Fury fight, he’s a little bit special. No other HW comes close to beating him imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted October 10, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted October 10, 2021 Fury looks camp as Christmas when he runs across the ring after knocking folk out. Love the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morizio Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Wilder has finally showed a microcosm of humbleness and class by acknowledging his best wasn’t good enough. Maybe Fury’s prayer had some affect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter barryk32 Posted October 10, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted October 10, 2021 Fury - Wilder is #1 vs #2. Theres absolutely nowhere for him to go now. He's not the sort to keep defending in easy fights either. Uysk is a mismatch and he destroys AJ (as does Wilder) Cant see who he fights next. One of the all time greats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Top 3 all time for me. Only lewis beats him in recent history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royal white Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Following on from @barryk32and @gonzo where does Fury come in the top heavyweights of all time? Is he in anyone’s top 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted October 10, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted October 10, 2021 You have to put Fury up there as an all time great. Mike Tyson Ali Fury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted October 10, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted October 10, 2021 Assuming we’re just going heavyweight by the way. If it’s across divisions, you need 6 or 7 spots for the likes of Mayweather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter barryk32 Posted October 10, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted October 10, 2021 It's a different sport now. Fury is a literal giant in comparison to 'the greats'. He'd be an entire foot taller than Tyson. I think he beats them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People won’t get want to hear it but AJ has had tougher opponents Pulev, Klitschko, Povetkin, Parker, Martin, Brezeale, Whyte, Molina, Takam Fury has beaten Wilder 3 times IMO and after that Klitschko who else is on his resume?

There’s too many nobodies in his list for him to be considered HW the greatest of all time without throwing in hypotheticals Can only beat the men in front of you I get that, but has he been truly tested other than Wilder? And I’m a Fury Fan. That’s the best I’ve seen him box, clinch, respond, counter last night. Wilder came out and boxed in the first and he looked like he had learned but as soon as he got figured out he went trying to throw these heavy rights over and over again and gassed himself out and then had no business being in the ring with a long reach boxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deane koontz Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 He just beats everyone in front of him in this era. He's a 6'9 freak The only thing that goes against him is the heavyweight division is a bit poo compared to times gone by. So it's hard to judge. Obviously not his fault.

Wilder was off balance after round 4. So brave; don't know how he stayed on his feet in round 7. Fury now has a mandatory defence v Whyte or Wallin. Win that and he fights the winner of the AJ v Usyk rematch, presumably. If only Wilder had deployed the "punch him on the ear" tactic.
