Boxing

He schools both

Absolutely.

Complete misunderstanding from the "Joshua batters him" crowd on just how clever a boxing performance his win in Germany was. Klitschko has all the power and skill you like and got cleanly beaten.

Ha serious? As soon as he meets a proper athlete he's screwed

More to boxing than being an athlete . In fact there is SO much more to it .

This 1000000%. People get too hung up on what fighters are "supposed to look like". If that was true Audley Harrison would be champion of the world.

Yes, I know that and I know ring savvy and experience count for a lot too as I have a bit of experience myself.

But in this instance, I feel somebody as cumbersome as Fury would seriously be found wanting against somebody with boxing ability, power and athleticism such as Joshua or Wlder.

He fought Klitschko when he was past his best, it was the ideal time for Fury. He cannot even get into the ring to defend his titles now, which pretty much says it all to me.

As if he wants to face any of the younger brigade! he will be totally shown up IMO.

neither wilder nor Joshua are what I'd call athletes with a good gas tank which is needed . Physically yeah they look superb ( no gay ) but against a solid very skilled boxer over 12 rounds they'd both have big problems UNLESS they caught him early on . Neither have fought anyone anywhere near as good as fury . They both have a chance but it would be by far both Of theirs hardest fights . Though that's if fury ever comes back to the same level that he was when he schooled the 9 years unbeaten lineal HW king in his own backyard .

Anyone else getting fed up of Tony bellew bringing paraded on the pitch,now I don't mind Tony but I think he's done more minutes on that pitch than mo besic.

Fury? Very skilled boxer? Really?

No.

And he didn't 'school' a clearly past it Klitschko either - he basically did slightly more than the other guy in the worst heavyweight title fight in memory. Then effectively retired because he's a coward who realised he'd won the lottery once and buying another ticket wouldn't be wise.

Wilder, Joshua and even Haye would destroy Fury. Too quick for him, each have power and are simply in another league to Fury. Hell, even Valuev would have done him by simply having an effective jab.

Mate yours and mine view on boxing is completely different . There is thread after thread on here to prove that from whenever a decent fight has been on and how you and I see a fight . I've got to be honest I prefer the way I view it to the way you do .


Opinions are like arse holes though . We all have one .

Valuev, Christ, he is the biggest lump of dog pooh I have ever seen in a ring, worse than Richard Dunn !!

I was about to post the exact same about mine & tubey's boxing opinion.
I often get confused to what he sees but as stated its about opinions.

Agreed. Yet that's the class I put Fury in. Valuev was a world champion too remember - just as amazing to me that Fury is/was one.
