I’ve been pondering “how good is Tyson Fury” all day and can’t seem to find an answer I can get behind. My thoughts just become more abstract. Like “is hard to beat the same as good”, meaning he isn’t so strong, isn’t so fit, isn’t so coordinated, this means isn’t so good normally. But for his size he has absolutely amazing head movement, he has great balance (perhaps because he doesn’t commit), he is quick, he is accurate(again, for his size)

After a spell I start thinking “is Tyson Fury the most skilled man we have ever seen at this size?” I just can’t come to an answer on him from he got lucky to catch Wladimir when he did all the way to his toolbox has enough to make him very very hard to beat.

I’ll say it, I have no clue what Tyson Fury really is. I thought he was a fraud years ago, a clown. I definitely don’t think that anymore. But I’m no closer to a judgement on him.

At least unlike some he isn’t laying out his career according to some master maximizing plan. He’s fighting the fight that matters. Have to respect that. Props to him and Wilder for being fighters, I had them both wrong.
