    Not all of those opponents are what I would call Superheavy though Vendettos.

    Some of the more conventional sized boxers are certainly more skilled but Fury is comparably capable as they are still because of his size.

    Your comment about Wilder, sure Wilder is powerful but not only is Fury more skilfull he is also much bigger. Wilder is a skinny beanpole who without roids would resemble something like a Ernie Terrell type body.

    I think if Fury survived 3 rounds with Wilder, he would go on to win the fight!!

    You believe Fury is more skilled than Wilder and you believe Furys size makes a difference?

    I hate to keep barking on about this but Fury has been tagged and dropped by midgets compared to him and both times the fighter was featherfisted... Wilder is an animal with a explosive punch.

    Wilder has yet to go past 4, while fury has been in trouble on a number of occasions.

    You can't say Fury is more skilled, that statement lacks validity and proof.


    At best you could compare them and say they're on a similar level, but I've seen nothing from Fury to suggest he would get past the 3 rounds you speak of against Wilder.

    Unless im missing something , isn't having a defence part of being skilful ? and fury is wide open .

    Hey that's ok!

    I would be very worried about Fury's ability to last a few rounds with Wilder, I admit that, I wouldn't bet a dime on Fury!!

    I'm just saying from a technical standpoint I think Fury can actually box better than Deontay! He throws some crisp shots and puts together some alright combinations and fights like a proper boxer. Wilder windmills the shit out of guys period.

    Sure Fury has been down by midgets and that's why I'd fear for him, then again I'm not convinced Wilder will be taking too many good shots either!!

    I'm not really disputing Fury vs Wilder here more just technical skills.

    I think Fury is more skillfull then Wilder. And Im one of Furys biggest critics. It all depends what you mean by skill. I consider skill just boxing ability. Who would win if they were fighting without the risk of getting KOd if that makes sense. From what I have seen from Wilder his punches seem very wild. He throws very wide hooks and his speed isnt great. Fury throws very good 1 2 punches and can mixes is up a lot. Throws a lot of jabs and then a few lead left hooks. Also throws nice uppercuts and goes to the body too. We just havnt had any chance to see anything like this from wilder. I agree Wilder beats Fury early, but also believe if Fury survives early on the balance of the fight could move in his favour.

    I think Wilder is more skilled that Fury from the limited time he has spent in the ring.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Fury has some skill as a boxer, there is no denying that, but he relies on his size more than anything else.
    He uses his weight to shove and muscle his opponents around in the ring, the occasional forearm on the chest or under the chin to hold or control an opponent is something you can expect to see him use expertly.
    I'm not saying he is an especially dirty fighter or anything close to that but he does use his size to intimidate his opponents.
    I'm not sure the fight would swing in Fury's favor if it went long. Wilder is no buzz saw in there and Fury does run low on fuel as the fight goes on.
    I'd be watching for sure!

    Fury is skilled.

    How many heavyweights nowadays do you even see mixing uppercuts and hooks who can fight inside and move and jab at range?

    Stiverene and Arreola? Dont make me laugh! Stiverene is a fatter version of Berto and has a loss and a draw already that he couldnt be bothered to avenge. Arreola got beat up by little old Adamek.

    Wilder? Only a couple of fights ago he was so sloppy he fell over and couldnt hit a barn door! His last fight isnt even worth mentioning but the fight before he got wobbled by a simple jab by someone Fury fought as a novice!

    Abell isnt the best but Fury used him as a warm up and gave him about a months notice. Compare that to Oulev giving him a days notice and getting dropped, losing the first two roumds and taking longer to finish it. If Pulev is the one with skills and a better defence, how did he get dropped and lose rounds? Fury toyed with Abell and finished it when he pleased. I believe they purposefully let it go to the 4th as it was clear any time Fury wanted to he had Abell hurt. They wanted a few roumds but wanted to end it quicker than Pulev could muster up.

    Fury is good, but you rate him higher than he deserves.
    Even I could land an uppercut if I have one hand behind my 10 year old grandson's head. Lol
    I like Fury, considering the current heavies he's good, he'll fight anyone, he's entertaining in and out of the ring (more so out), really believes on himself and that confidence intimidates other fighters.
    I do not believe Fury, or any heavy, would carry another fighter in the
    ring as they all realize it just takes one punch to turn a fight around.
    Stop seeing what you want to see in the ring, take off those rose colored glasses and take a good look.
    Ross, and I'm being serious now, when you finally find out Fury isn't "The One" please don't do anything self destructive.
