    Fury is the GOAT for sure

    He's too complete and super sexy

    Only Otto Wallin can give Fury hell.
    ATGs got nothing on him.

    His feet are faster than any other heavyweights today, his movement is one of his best assets.

    When Mayweather or Wilder talk about them being the greatest and would beat past greats, they get universally and endlessly pissed on. Fury does it and its 'a fighter should have that sort of confidence, good for him.' Odd.

    Fury hasnt even defended his title yet!

    The invisible Lineal belt does not count by the way.....

    His legacy and supposed greatness could come undone in his very next fight against Joshua if he gets chinned....

    You're a dummy

    Firsty lineal isn't a belt, it's a title

    Belts were made for dummies like you who think having a physical belt counts for something

    Lineal is a more legitimate title than any of them alphabetti spagetti commissions can come up with.

    I understand your point but hear me out.

    Mayweather changed from Pretty Boy to Money intentionally with the idea that he would make more money, which he did. People will pay to see the bad guy get punched in the face and they pay for the lottery chance he could get knocked out or lose. Mayweather set himself up for the hate so people hate him.

    On the other hand, the big fat gypsy shows up dressed as Batman, constantly talks rubbish and nonsense to the point where no one really takes him seriously. Fury has set himself up to be the Schrodinger Douche. He says stuff and based on the reaction he gets he was either serious or just clowning.

    I am a big Fury fan, and I understand that he is trying to sell it and keep it interesting during the Covid break, but even I don't want to hear it after he openly said that he is not interested in Whyte or Usyk.

    If he beats Joshua, he will just break the top ten. If he spends the rest of his career fighting guys like Jarrel Miller instead of his mandos, he will go no further.

    If he beats Joshua and Usyk like he did Wilder no doubt he's a goat contender, certainly h2h.

    He'd have more leverage on this if he had fought Wlad in a rematch.

    If I had to put money on Fury at his best and Wlad in his absolute prime, I'd put it on Wlad.

    And IMO all things coming together in 2 fights doesn't translate directly into being the greatest.

    It's like if the The Knack were claiming to be the best band ever following the success of My Sharona.

    I like Fury and much credit to him, but I want to see him build a deep legacy, not talk about it as if he's
    done it already. Wlad at that point of his career and Wilder don't = the best wins of the best in the history
    of the division.

    He wouldnt have a chance. Good guys from the 80,s and 90,s would beat him.

    Good fighter fury but his skills are too rudimental to be in greatest of all time discussions. None of fury, joshua or wilder have enough skills to be considered. There basically fighting in an era where most heavyweights are practically part time fighters. Holyfield, bowe, lewis, tyson would have beaten the three of them. Even contenders back then have more skill. I,d give a prime shannon briggs a decent chance to beat all three of them.

    Outside of wilder and a 40 year old klitchko....briggs would certainly be the third best fighter furys fought at the least. Briggs never had too many good wins...he did almost knock lewis out tho. He,d cause these guys problems and there was better contenders about barring the top guys.

    No fighter is unbeatable




















    Unless their name is Tyson Fury

    And that's a FACT, btw

    Fury would have tore it up in the 80`s, that decade was overrated, he would have given Holmes more problems than anyone Holmes beat and he would have beaten anyone Larry beat but M.Tyson would have destroyed him.
