Fury would beat prime Mohammed Ali

[DoNoootin]

Probably would. Ali's movement and slickness would present a tough challenge though, but the reach and size advantage especially... I think it would be competitive and Fury by decision.

 

[GeneTunney7]

Of course he would. Athletes are much better than they were in the 1960s.

Uh oh. You spoke the unspeakable. The funny thing is in the 60's there were nostalgic pundits who said Dempsey would school Ali.

 

[smooth assassin]

I love Fury, but pay respect to Muhammad Ali’s name

 

[defjaam]

Ali's footwork was revolutionary for a HW in his time, but now days it is nothing special. He was 6''3 and was a rangy fighter, who had a decent jab and straight right, his other punches are very slow and sloppy.

He would be fighting guys who are 6''7' and are much more explosive, sharp and hit way harder than he did.

Nothing special? Then name me someone who has comparable footwork.

 

[ExitLUPin]

They're close in skills but Fury is just so much bigger and longer.

Skills arent close. Fury is inhumanly skilled for his size thats what makes him so special and such a nightmare but just pure skills taking relative size out of the equation his skill level isnt on the same plane as Ali, Louis, Tunney, Holmes etc

ali looked great next to the big slow flat footed bar brawlers he fought.

compared to any modern HW his footwork is nothing special.

Answer the question. List specific fighters who are on Ali's level of foot work. Since you claim it was nothing special I expect at least 5. Now go.

If you threw punches like this in the gym nowadays people would laugh at you. get over yourselves with this nostalgia bullshit

Ali/Foreman/Frazier would lose very quickly to every single top ranked HW in 2021. It wouldnt even be a competitive fight.

Anybody that doesnt understand this, doesnt really understand boxing at a deep level.

A lot of fighters Foreman fought and beat retired this decade lol

Go to HW rankings. Look at the top 5. There you go bud.

So you can't because you know how badly you would embarrass yourself.

Because Wilder and Fury were throwing such beautiful looking punches tonight?

I'd say Ali's punches looked a lot sharper than theirs did.

I already did fuckboy

Its easy to dance around when you dont put any power in your punches. Ali would get sparked quick by these guys at HW now

 

[Scheme]

Yeah, but could he beat Bruce Lee?

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Don't know about easy. But furys cardio and ability to adapt would make it incredibly interesting.

 

[613]

Go to HW rankings. Look at the top 5. There you go bud.

If you don't know any of them, that's ok. You don't need to pretend like you watch any other HWs

LOL

people say Wilder is sloppy but compared to ali his punches are sharp

Not like you clueless idiots can tell the diffeerence

 

[MC Paul Barman]

Honestly…. Fury vs Ali circa 2004 would be incredible
