This subforum is on CRACK. :unimpressed:

So Fury almost losing to Knockout doesn't count? He can get too confident at times, and he has a good chin but if you have good power you got a chance. AJ could do it, but I just don't trust his chin..

Fury only looks good because his opponents have been trash. He is definitely beatable.

Tyson has shown up when it mattered most in his two biggest fights so most casual fans don't remember his earlier struggles in his career. He can be beat but it won't be an easy win for anyone with that size reach and awkward style of his.

Klitscko

All that matters

You do know AJ dealt with Klitscko better than Fury right? :whew:

Klitscko, Parker, Whyte, Povetkin, Pulev. Ruiz.

Everyone knows the one facing the top ranked fighters without ducking mandatories. If you know you know :yeshrug:

Fury, in terms of intangibles (size, movement, IQ, adaptability) is an all time great Heavyweight imo. To be 6'9 and move like that is REDICULOUS, and having the ability to take on the Kronk style at this point in his career after being more of a finesse fighter is a testament to how great a boxing mind he has.

AJ is my favorite fighter but I can't deny that I think Fury beats him, even though every part of me wants a Joshua KO.

He had prior experience at the Kronk. He did training under Manny and Manny was talking Fury up 12-18 months before his passing. Also don't forget the importance of Andy Lee who is his cousin and himself a Kronk disciple.

Tyson Fury opens up on why he had to leave Manny Steward's Kronk Gym

Man, his stans are one of a kind. Don't even know if his stans are more annoying or Wilder's were. Fury stans are often UK cats who are hating on Matchroom/AJ and :cape: for Frank Warren :mjlol: Now Matchroom deserves criticism for some shyt just like anybody else but these guys acting like it's personal, never giving them or AJ credit.
There's another part of them who are just hellbent on every fighter of gypsy descents being good :mjlol: that's their acid test, when Fury beat Wlad they figured this is the new wave and that every gypsy fighters gonna be as good.

1 count away from being called Knocked out is as close as you get. I realize he was winning the fight, but that moment still happened. It shows he is definitely touchable.

HW division sucks, only reason he unbeaten.
