Fury doesn't get invited to speak at universities or is considered somebody to have anything of value to say. Ali played himself in his own biopic The Greatest. Had a cartoon series titled I Am the Greatest!: The Adventures of Muhammad Ali. They made an award-winning documentary on one of his fights, 22 years later. Lit the Olympic flame. Fought Superman.Ali wasnt 6'9 273lbs turning up to press conferences dressed as Batman and licking blood off his opponents. Not saying Fury is "better" but you cant compare the two just because they both have the gift of the gab.
The only thing I think of when I see Fury is what a joke boxing has become.
He can sing, is funny, the best trash talker and champ Right now.
Never seen a HW with that Combo … hes the bigger Version of Conor McGregor.
They were fighting in Conor’s ring though.

I grew up in the Lewis, Holyfield, Bowe, Mercer, Morrison, Moorer, Ibabuchi, Tua, Rahman era. It maybe interesting but it’s a terrible era skill wise for boxing one of the lowest ever.Closest I could think of is Vitali Klitschko, in terms of fluidity and movement...
He was very light on his feet for his size and much more dynamic offensively than his brother and most other heavyweights.
Too bad he had the injury bug something fierce.
Compared to when?
In the early 2000 guys like Ruiz and Byrd held titles and instead of fighting each other they took turns beating up guys like Galota, McCline and Oquendo.
After that, the Klitschko brothers held the titles and started taking turns beating up overmatched heavyweights...
They even had to fight a few cruiserweights because they cleaned out the division so thoroughly.
While the Wladamir Klitschko’s run at Heavyweight was amazing, ever since he (and his brother) are no longer the champions, heavyweight boxing is more interesting than it has ever been in recent memory.

Conor will help Fury to become like him soonHe's nothing like Conor at all.
Heart, honor, family man, intelligent.
Conor's an alcoholic hoodrat sex fiend with zero improvisation skills that was in the right place at the right time.

Those 2 would most likely smash Joshua who is the third rated hw of the current crop. Tyson is the best of one the worst eras. Morrison beat Foreman, still an achievement. Fury is ok but Wilder only has massive power, not much to figure besides not getting hit. The overall hw skill level is down.Tua was massively overrated and Morrison was the ultimate glass cannon. I agree it was a significantly better era overall but including those two makes it sounds like youre letting nostalgia cloud things too much. Neither of those two are anywhere near Furys level and they'd probably lose to multiple other guys in the current division too.

Forget the 12th round... Fury showed more grit when he wanted to take his own life, but bit down hard on his mouthpiece for the sake of his family and decided to fight through his depression. Mental health is no joke.He is better than conor
Conor folds like a cheap chair when the going gets tough
Conor is a front runner bully that can't handle adversity
Fury showed more grit in the 12th round in wilder 1, than the Crumlin manlet has his entire career
He is also going to overtake conor as the number one guy in combat sports
Fury bless
