Who's the closest Tyson Fury of Mma(size, skill, athlecism)

[dayumlol]

Stefan Struve?

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Lol. No. Not even close.

 

[Connor McGregor]

Fury = Stipe
Wilder = Ngannou
Joshua = Jones
Ruiz = DC

 

[WhuffieCollector]

Just in terms of size and athleticism I'd go with Greg Hardy.

If Hardy can keep improving and learn the game to a high level, he can be a great HW.

 

[Medulla Omoplata]

If Tyson Fury fought MMA it would be him for sure

 

[Fahcough]

Ronda

 

[Lee-Oto Machida]

Joshua = Jones?? Jones is a far more technical fighter with far more tools than Joshua they aren't similar athletically or technically.... Poor comparison

 

[MCS]

Sylvia on roids

Agreed, if anything I was thinking Fury would be similar to jones in stature and technical skill (being able to play the game as well as anybody)

 

[RDUBYA]

Travis Browne

 

[Lee-Oto Machida]

Wilder and Ngannou have some simlarites but Fury is very unique in his size and athletisism. He has a Jones like reach with Cruz like awkward movement and St pierre like fight iq

 

[marvinparsons]

In terms of height and style the closest is a roided up Sylvia. So no real good MMA comparison.

 

[Lee-Oto Machida]

His mental warfare is very underrated and compares to prime Mcgregors

 

[HatKick]

Only comparison that kinda makes sense is Ciryl Gane. Size, skill, movement, cardio.

 

[Mr_Mole]

Nobody compares to Tyson Fury, especially not any MMA fighter

 

[0-1]

Artem lobov

Exactly who I had in mind

The reach of Jones
The IQ of GSP
The awkward movement of Cruz and the trash talk of Conor

Is Fury the perfect fighter?

 

[Lee-Oto Machida]

The Iq of gsp
The awkward movement of Cruz and the mental skills of Conor

Is Fury the perfect fighter?

He's not the perfect fighter but is the most well rounded in heavyweight boxing at present and is a tough puzzle to solve for anyone. Before Fury-Wilder II most would say he lacked any real power but that seemed to be put to bed when he nearly knocked Willder into row z

Joshua with 2 years of MMA striking training would kill Jones in a standup battle. Not on teh ground obviously, but in a standup 100%
