I have been a Tyson Fury supporter for many years, prior to the klitschko fight the vast majority of the online boxing fanbase thought fury was a bum. He was considered to have a glass jaw after being dropped by cunningham and pajkic and badly rocked by nikolai firtha.
I thought he was better than he'd shown, with a good jab, movement and varied inside and outside game, i thought he'd aquit himself well against klitschko but get stopped at some point.
Obviously he proved a lot of people wrong including me, but as someone who spent a number of years sticking up for him, he is now getting a bit overrated. The likes of wilder and joshua wont just stand there getting outboxed, they will come forward and take risks, and i see those as being very competetive fights.
