Perfect analogy.
No style whatsoever just very difficult to get at to punch.
If he's the best then that is a great shame for heavyweight boxing

You (and plenty of others on this thread) have literally no idea what boxing is. Fury is the most talented heavyweight boxer for years. Lateral movement, great speed, very hard to hit. He won every minute of every round. He won the same way against Klitchko. The fact he is anywhere close to last nights performance after losing 10 stone in a year, inactive for three and only one warm up fight is a miracle. That was his second outing in THREE years, what do people expect? Boxing isn’t about just blasting people out. Floyd Mayweather made a career of not getting hit and winning on points. Fury is much the same.

Art of boxing, hit and not get hit. Easy to do against an opponent ranked 135 in the world. A fit Fury is skilled and unpredictable. But the power of and usual angles that wilder throws his shots from will make the fight interesting. Fury’s a skilful technician yes but against a heavyweight of power and speed he may find his match.

Fury definitely looked much better in this fight than he did in the farce of his first one. He couldn't have asked for a more obliging opponent than Pianeta who gave Fury exactly what he wanted - someone that will stand there, offer no threat but durable enough to give him the full ten rounds.
It's difficult to see anything other than Wilder knocking him out when they meet though. The step up from the very obliging Panieta to Wilder is huge. He surely needs at least one, probably two, more fights to get ready for that level. I can understand why he's taken the fight - provided he puts up some kind of fight it's essentially a win win for him. He gets to raise his profile, get himself back in the reckoning and earns a nice pay day. He can blame any defeat on the fact that he was out for three years, ballooned up to 7million stone and took the Wilder fight after only two warm ups - he's a true warrior who ducks no one. And if he somehow wins...the world's his.
It's similar for Wilder. He gets to finally raise his profile over something he's done rather than just constantly shouting Joshua's name, he gets a proper fighter on his cv, his biggest pay day and what should be a fairly easy win. He can then go into any future negotiations with AJ in a much stronger position.
