    Already beat THE ATG Heavyweight in Wlad. Can't see any of the current crop of heavyweights beating him so he's going to dominate for a long time. Racist, xenophonic, Americans probably won't give him credit whereas if he was an African-American they'd be liking his greasy, pikey *****.

    But yeah, we're in the era now of one of the next ATG's in heavyweight boxing.

    Wlad dominated a division for 10 yrs and its still people who say it isnt an ATG, so Fury certainly isn't. That word gets through around to much the only newer boarder line ATGs right now is Donaire, and Bradley everyone else has a long way to go.

    He's better at 27 than Wlad was. There is a good chance he'll dominate for a while. However, I think his style ages worse than Wlad's and I doubt we'll ever have a HW era this **** again so Fury is likely to face tougher opposition.

    Nothing wrong with todays heavyweight era. In todays generation both Klitschkos, Povetkin, Fury, Pulev and Haye could walk into any division and be a top 5 fighter. Counting the active, well Wlad, Povetkin, Fury and Pulev are top draw fighters. Joshua and, admittedly Wilder could be classed as top level IF they actually fight someone good rather than beating on bums.

    It only seems to be clueless Americans who call it **** because they can't stand the fact there's no American fighters in it.

    There's more depth to the heavyweight division, if not the individual stars. The WW division has a core of more great fighters (Pacman, Brook,Thurman, Garcia, Porter, Bradley) but less depth... once you get past the top 10 your entering bum city with the likes of Gavin, Bundu and Mulovhedzi. The heavyweight division, even outside the top ten you've still got solid fighters like Takam, Chambers, Brown and Ustinov.

    If Fury defended against the 33rd ranked heavyweight (Ustinov) nobody would say it was a poor defence. If Brook faced the 33rd ranked WW your looking at Ray Robinson, a **** poor defence.

    There are people like Joshua and Parker but for me Povetkin KO's both and maybe Haye also, Wlad's already beaten both. Who is your tougher opposition again? If Fury is genuinely better than Wlad, rematch to decide, I don't see a big challenge.

    If Hasim Rahman isn't an ATG for beating Lennox, i don't see how Fury would be after beating Wlad.

    Fury has another 10 years in him so the division has a lot of time to shape up.

    He's likely to lose the belts pretty quickly, I highly doubt he will become an ATG, he's just not good enough, awkward style but he's clumsy and against someone who's not afraid to throw he is made to pay.

    Douglas and spinks as well. Fury is more likely to follow in their footsteps than he is wlads.

    I find it funny how much you hate on fury

    He just beat a all time great who was so dominant at heavyweight

    as it stands fury has the best resume of any active fighter today

    He has a clear win over wladmire klitchko how many can say that?

    I don't like him although his post fight comments have started to change my mind. I have never rated him though. He's clumsy and throws punches incorrectly. It was a good win but wlad is ageing and gun shy, and he hardly went out there and destroyed klitschko like he said he would, it was a messy fight with hardly any clean shots landing, not exactly a master class in boxing.

    Face it fury is better then what you thought he schooled wlad and busted him up wlad himself said he was surprised how good fury was

    Fury was the man to expose wlad he had the size and style it was a clinic

    Fury is better than I thought he was. There was no schooling though, the rounds were competitive.
