Of all the SuperHeavyweight contenders, does Fury have the best Boxing skills?

[FinitoElDinamita]

This is another reason why I like fury. Not only does he sing RNBs and knows how to entertain outside the ring, but I see technical improvements after each fight.

U saw him sticking that jab against abell? For a such a big guy, his movement is pretty fluid and he's not all that slow either. He was like a giant Ali against abell.

Dude is so big that he can't help but to be clumsy sometimes but overall, he's a lot more capable than other guys his size. U gotta admit.

Is fury the best pure boxer out of the super heavy class? Wlad excluded of course.

I don't think so at all, Abell is basically a bum, he should certainly meet your criteria for it at least Fury tries, but he really is wide open and manages to get tagged pretty well every fight, I wouldn't call him fluid at all. I have no idea whether he'd beat anyone like Stiverne, Arreola, even Wilder, just anyone who could land something big. I'd also nominate Bryant Jennings, Pulev and probably Tony Thompson as better boxers than him, outside of Wlad. He would still have every chance against most of those guys I'd guess though, but he's in just about as tough against Chisora next perhaps.

Fury is a prime example why "Super" heavyweight will always to the literal oxymoron and no need for the added division

[Max Power]

I know what your meaning Finito and at this very point in time I think it might be true.

Peoples definition of SuperHeavy will differ but if your talking greater than 6'5"+ 240+ lbs type of "giant boxers" then yes I think Fury could be the man.

He is no giant oaf, he knows how to box.

He is much better than ridiculous David Price, could beat Tony Thompson today I reckon and whilst might be troubled by Wilder's power and initial rush.. I think Fury is technically the superior boxer there.

I am not sure how Fury would handle a guy like Pulev though, at 6'4" and 240lbs himself he might qualify as "SuperHeavy" too.

[Vendettos]

No I believe there are many more skilful.

Povetkin, Solis despite his laziness, Wilder is less rugged and more controlled.

Fury has picked his opponents very very well.


A lot of his opponents have been quite old, small or out of shape. His best win to date is still Kevin Johnson who Chisora beat just as easy and knocked him down.


I still believe Fury is a little overhyped, but I he has shown me something recently which has been better.

I still believe that when he fights a skilful puncher that he will crumble. Arreola, Haye, Willder or maybe even someone like Jennings.

He has been better recently, but he needs to get his fat ass in shape and guard that chin like the pope lives in it.

[Max Power]

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!!

Fury is an especially dirty fighter.

does he fuck

does he fuck

Its just plain to see that he has skills. He puts nice combinations together. Hes not a pot shotter that doesnt make for an interesting fight like Haye or Wlad. He doesnt just stand there or lean on the ropes like Stiverene and wait for someone to press him. He diesnt bore you to death like Pulev, Slis or Thompson. He can fight at a pace, hes tough, quick and as in the Abell fight, his timing and reflexes are still getting better. Hes looking sharp. Another few months in camp Hes also going to have a 12 rounder with Carlos Takam. The man will be frightening for Chisora, if he doesnt pull out (this is based on him being a Warren fighter and a WBO shot landing in his lap before the Fury fight).
