    I am just "Keeping it real". His dad is asking him to retire FFS.

    Holmes had Cooney, Spinks {twice}, Tyson, Shavers, Weaver, Norton, beat Mercer when he was an old man.

    Fury has three stand out fights, he's been the bigger man in all 3, one of them was vs a 40 year old dude and the other two he's had a 3 stone advantage.

    Devils in the detail.

    I've always rated the guy, but this nonsense about Wilder needs to stop. The guy is good but he's no Foreman or Big Cat Williams or Liston and Fury has not put a run together at all.

    I am not and never was a fan of Fury's because he has only one thing: size. If he were 6'2 you would never hear about him as he would have been cold cocked several times already. He beat the shit out of Wilder I congratulate him on whipping Wilder as I knew his toothpick legs would betray him the first time he was hurt and I was correct.

    Wilder needs a new trainer - he never once went to the wide open body of Fury

    I dont remember anyone ever scoring Lewis' or Vitali's size against them. Its the heavyweight division, the bigger the better - if you can fight.

    Exactly this, but several people have held Lennox', Vitalis and Wlad's size against them (he would only beat Liston because he is bigger, crap like that).

    Size is an attribute, a talent. If you hold it against someone, then you must hold speed against Ali and power against Foreman

    Fighters always make excuses, every single time.

    I am starting to believe that to be a successful fighter, you must never accept a loss

    Wilder also complained about Bayless who allowed Fury to rabbit punch. If anything Bayless was too trigger happy to me

    Yeah....I'd say its one thing 'adjusting' between eras in some way because guys have gotten so much bigger over time but not within one era. If you're the best you're the best.

    Because., for example, in the Lewis vs Vitali fight, both men fought a man on their par.

    Fury has been the bigger man in every fight.

    Both Vitali and Lewis put runs togehter.

    Both men, oddly enough Vitali more than Lewis, fought at weight disadvantages on numerous occasions.

    I am pretty sure Vitali was LIGHTER for the Johnson, Lewis, Sanders, Williams, Briggs, Peter fights.

    Fury has ALWAYS had the height, weight and reach advantage and that was even when he fought Wlad.
