The Boxing thread

I often wonder who is the best.. Tyson or Fury, who would win that. tbh Tyson was an absolute animal, just a pure fighter, no glitz, just rage. Boxing has taken a step backwards over the years tbf.

A prime Iron Mike absolutely obliterates the Gypsy king all day long imo.

Is boxing still a thing? Seems like they’re rinsing the last drops out of it before it goes the way of athletics. Folk questioning wether fury would beat Tyson??? Hahaha. Lewis would knock shite out of fury never mind Tyson. Most of them look like they should be in Japan wearing nappies and pushing folk out of circles.

Tyson, at his peak, would annihilate Fury. The guy was absolutely brutal.

Don’t be silly, only one truly great heavyweight champion - ALI.

That's not necessary so. First he'd have to get near him with the height and reach disadvantage. Second Fury can take a punch and carry on. Wilder banged him as hard as he could and couldn't knock him out

Wilder is no Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson pre jail conviction and with Kevin Rooney in the corner would destroy Tyson fury with ease in fact there. Isn’t many who would survive Mike Tyson .

Not sure who people wanted Fury to fight. Neither Joshua nor Usyk wanted Fury at this point.
Fury also dismantled Chisora far easier than Usyk did.

It was a poor contest. Anyone who shelled out the full whack to watch on PPV would have every right to be pissed off with that. Definitely not value for money.

Honestly, what did anyone expect? It was the most predictable outcome ever!

I think 1985-1989 Mike Tyson would wipe the floor with every heavyweight that came after that period of time.

There have been better heavyweight boxers than Tyson, but there’s a case to be made that nobody who has ever fought at heavyweight would beat 1980s Tyson. He was 20 year’s old and had hard experienced heavyweights shitting themselves just seeing him walking into the ring. He was a fucking animal!

Tyson lost his edge and a bit of fear factor in the 90s, but even 90s Tyson would still beat every heavyweight around today.
