Mate you really can’t be for real trying to compare someone that spends two years between fights on YouTube with the real boxers of yesterday that were in the ring fighting on a monthly basis, we are in the worst era of heavyweight boxing I can remember and Tyson fury is the best of a bad bunch but certainly not a goat he would have barely been a journeyman in the 80s

you can’t believe he would be a journey man greyman

Come on now you're being silly, Steve Cunningham flattened Fury and Frazier wouldn't land 5 punches?

Now I'm not going to say he would be easy work for any of these fighters, he's a good fighter and he potentially is big problems for any of these but the facts are he's not been in the ring with anything close to the quality on that list.

that was a young fury learning his trade mate imagine now

We have to put things in to perspective, Dillian Whyte is an average HW.

He would not be HW champion in any era of the past, he just isn't good enough.

i agree bar klitschko he’s the best fighter on aj resume so what do lads that talk about aj resume think about that

AJ is nothing special, just a good HW for his era, a modern Frank Bruno.

but all i hear is with the best resume bar klitscho whyte is the best on. it 

fury has klitscho and wilder who is far harder to beat then anyone aj has fought 

plus made whyte look like an amateur with one pro fight 

lads been listening to to much eddie hearn and sky sports

Fury is better than AJ, you won't get me saying otherwise.

I'd say AJ does have a deeper resume though, but, he has lost to those on that list too.

What list are you referring to?

[shaaark 10,905]

Just now, McVey said:

AJ's list, he's lost to two fighters on his résumé.

 

Ah right, read it wrong. 

[shaaark 10,905]

AJ has more depth to his résumé but Fury has the better wins and clearly a better record.

See, that's easily debatable, again.  Fury's best wins to date, are against wilder, a guy that can't really box well, and has fought NO-ONE his whole career.  How on earth he ended up as WBC heavyweight champion, is beyond me really, but more likely down to the WBC dodgy as f**k politics, and a lot of jiggery pokery!!  

Fury definitely lost the 1st mcdermot fight, struggled with and has been decked, more than a few times by cruiserweights, when he's massively outweighed them.

The fight against klitschko he was definitely 'gifted' as klitschko simply didn't do anything.

Really don't know what fury fans are looking at when they see him fighting, cos I certainly don't see anything special at all.

That's a fair assessment Shark lad, he has grown on me tbh and I think he would beat AJ, still, that doesn't necessarily make him an ATG.

Yeah, I can agree to point.  And yep, he definitely aint an ATG.  I still think joshua would beat fury, though.  But it's still looking like fury WON'T fight joshua, regardless of his name calling, ducking, accusing etc etc of joshua!!  Lol.

I said, two or three years ago, fury would retire before he has to fight joshua.

Look back at some of my old posts, if you can be bothered!  Lol

He would box AJ's head off IMO, AJ is just a computer programmed boxer, no fighting brain or instincts, totally different class is Fury.

Hey, anything can happen in boxing, but if you asked me a hundred times I would say Fury.

All just our own opinions, really. 

It's a bit like this canelo bivol fight.  I've not heard a lot of bivol really, and common sense is telling me canelo certainly WILL get the decision if bivol doesn't ko him.  Well, not common sense really, as much as boxing politics, again.  But I'm hoping bivol can pull it off.  Seems a genuinely decent fella, whereas, to me, canelo comes across as being un underhanded snake.  Lol, that lost the first fight with ggg, and drew the 2nd.  And along with failing the drugs tests, nah, hope bivol sparks him out before the 5th!!  Lol

Anyone having a punt on alvarez vs bivol, tonight?
