Any decent links yet to watch the Fury fight? And not the YouTube nonsense, quality leaving a bit to be desired

TIA

Ignore me I’ve found one on YouTube minus cat emojis

in that time we’ve had Bowe Lewis Holyfield so you can only dream of how amazing it would’ve been throwing Fury in that mix and watching them all fight each other

gonna mention Vitali Klitscho as well as he was tough man with size and punch to trouble anyone

Wladamir Klitschko also held several heavyweight belts for in excess of 10 years since before he was 30yrs old, defending them numerous times. And he is widley considered to be one of the best heavyweights of all time. He was nearly 40 when he lost to Fury.

Every heavy in history owns just the one style ( bar ali)...Fury owns three...its why klitsh couldnt lay a glove on him but managed to get josh off his feet. Co ordination above 6ft 4inch is uncommon

the fact that he was nearly 40 may have also had something to with it.

all true but he was very fragile, Vitali was the one with the metal

Yeah ...the nearly 40yrold wont hit a moving target without his hands up....but he'll be fine for bowling over other world class opponents ( and subsequently coming within a whisker)

I thought they were both great fighters shame they never faced each other.
