    Hi. Apologies for this ill informed post, but I know little about boxing.

    It seems Tyson Fury is a very good boxer. Is he good just cause the boxers at this time are not great or is he actually good.

    Like how would he compare with former boxers like Ali and Mike Tyson etc.

    He's from the Ivory Coast so.

    I'm only on a wind up. I'm just going with what Tyson says and I ain't going to argue with him!!

    He's a traveller. Neither Irish or British.

    If a man can be a woman or someone what's to identify themselves as a fridge can, someone from an Irish ethnic group can be part Irish.

    I think Tyson would give any of them a serious fight. Him and Lennox would be a great fight with both in their prime.
    He is very smart in the ring and he has very good boxing skills. He is a very big man so he could possibly beat all the greats.

    Smaller HWs from years gone by that weren’t big punchers would have very little chance..

    The like of Lennox Lewis would obliterate Tyson Fury. Bowe would, too.

    These type of match ups are pointless.

    What's Wilder like to fight?

    Fury: "he's unpredictable, like giving a 7 year old a fully loaded AK47"! :)

    Not so sure the smaller guys have given fury enough trouble in the past. Tyson or Holyfield would be a nightmare for him. Guess they’re big punchers though. I think he gives any of them a fight but Lewis with the big right over the top. Devastating

    Tyson v Tyson would have been bizarre, Fury would have a foot on him. Mike would have some job to get past that jab.

    He’d get past it and God help Fury when he worked on his rib cage. Of all the fantasy fights I think Tyson would be the worst match up for fury

    His father is apparently from Tuam in Galway, although a fire means records for births in the area at that time no longer exist.

    Fury seems to regard himself as a mix of Irish/British, quite similar to a lot people born and raised in Britain to Irish parents.

    So I'd say he's a bit Irish.

    Plenty people wrote him off, as in predicted a Wilder KO, and plenty those wanted Fury to win.

    I wanted Wilder to win. But anyone who was surprised on last night’s result hasn’t a clue about boxing..

    Smart money was in Wilder, all things considered, but a Fury win inside the distance is/was not at all a surprise..

    Big difference between this fight and fight 1? Simple: Fury came to actually take this fight, as opposed to nick and steal fight 1...

    Exactly as I predicted. To win, his best chance is to go and take it..it’s on page 1 of this thread, and in other threads..

    But still a fight night blow in...you need to build up your credibility...

    Take a few risks. Join us here. Don’t be a smart ass type random poster looking for likes by pointing out silly predictions that didn’t go as predicted..I have hundreds of predictions. Not all right...you’re 1-0 now...but, the more you predict, the more chance you might slip up..

    Good bunch here. You might even enjoy the debate and banter...

    Just watched the fight back. Wilder was totally unprepared for Fury’s power. He exhausted him leaning on him and ragdolling him about. The KD was towards the back of the head and he charged in with his own head often. Wilder perhaps took him lightly and when he weighed in with the top on and rumours going around about his ankle I wonder did wilder get sold a pup. Fury’s positioning was another level and wilder barely got throwing anything with real venom. Calming him down maybe not the best idea. He and his corner were completely outsmarted.

    A lot of posts on here indicating that fury will steamroll aj too. I’m not so sure. Aj will weigh at least 18 stone and will have much more strength in clinches. He will have a plan and he can throw combinations much better. If it happens...

    Surley Fury already the best of his generation?
    Goes to Germany ends Wlads 10 year rein,
    Gets off the sofa weighing 28 stone goes to the US and ends the hardest hitter in heavy weight history's rein

    AJ goes to the US get his ears boxed off and doesn't return

    Fury will give him a boxing lesson in the summer ]
