It's knockout or nothing for Wilder. No chance out out boxing thr big man. Fury is impressive.
Anyone think Fury could beat Holyfield or Lewis in both they're primes?
Fury handles Holyfield comfortably. 7 inches taller and a 7.5 inch reach advantage. Also about 50lbs heavier.
Lewis would be incredibly interesting. Lewis did well against taller fighters, but Fury moves incredibly well and has an incredible chin. I'd back Fury, just because nobody has figured out the puzzle he proposes yet.
Yeah Evander is a bit overrated historically. I don't even know if Fury would have beaten Wladimir in his prime and doubt he comes close to Vitali or Lennox.
I don't know about overrated. He was one of the most versatile boxers of all time. But against the goliaths of heavyweight boxing (Fury, Vitali) I think he'd struggle.
I think Fury beats all three. I am yet to see anyone figure him out. His defence, footwork, chin & heart, as well as his ability to pepper people is really incredible. I've never seen a 6'9 280lbs man move the way he does.
Credit to Wilder for tonight, I have no idea how he remained standing for that long. Looked wobbly from round 3 or 4 onward. Probably not the best idea for him to take many more beatings like that though.
