Fury is 6'8, dances like sugar ray, ate bombs from Wilder, no chance Tyson would win.

Mike has fought dudes as tall as 6'6. Thing is, none of them were that talented.

Fury has taken punches from Wilder, but Tyson throws way more punches and a lot to the body.

Honestly I'm gonna go Fury. He's too big and too talented, almost like a created character.

No one is taking down prime Mike if he’s on point and his head was 100% in it

i think just based on raw power and drive alone Tyson takes it, he was a cold blooded killer in his prime

Fury is simply too big. Height, reach.

Mike was the better boxer but he only would had a punchers chance if he lands clean.

Fury just needs to box like Vlad (boring jabs) and likely wins on points.

Agree that Fury is very skilled.

Has a great defensive game and turned offensive in the 2nd wilder fight.

Fury’s jab and footwork would be to much. Tyson would wreck Wilder or Anthony Joshua though.

Tyson in '87/'88 would have destroyed Fury.

Mike Tyson KO inside 8 rounds.

Fury would be a formidable opponent due to his size and movement, but PRIME Mike was an explosive killer. He beats every heavyweight in history in his prime.

Fury has a good but not great chin. He was dropped by cruiserweight Steve Cunningham.



Imagine an overhand shot like that connecting from Mike.

Furthermore, Mike’s peekaboo style taught by Cus D’Amato would’ve made him too slippery for Fury to ever touch.



I can see Fury frustrating a post-prison Mike Tyson into a DQ or UD loss, but teleport the Gypsy King to 1988 and its goodnight.

I don't think Tyson can get any better, for his size he was about as good as he's gonna get. Might have more stamina and know a few more styles to fall back on, but in comparison Fury would be far far worse if he was fighting in the 80s. Not because of opponents, but because the sport advanced a lot to make very tall fighters more viable.

No it wasn't. His prime era was in the 80s.

Mike via TKO in 7-8 rounds. Mike loved to go to the body he'd make hell out of Fury's pillsbury doughboy body. Mike wasn't a one trick pony like Wilder or limited like Whyte.

Fury might cause him some trouble cause his size, reach, and skillset but 88 Iron Mike is too much for Fury.

I'm not debating some antiquated prime age. I'm talking about his skills, team, and ability.

You can't argue with hardcore tyson fans because they'll just say he wasn't in his prime therefore you can't argue statistics. It's like a mythology
