    Dillian Whyte (lmao)

    Anthony Joshua (yeah pretty solid but still a big stiff idiot)

    Deontay Wilder (1 punch man)

    Povetkin (old and finished)

    Luis Ortiz (prehistoric)

    They're all bum city dossers. Fury is going to obliterate Whyte, AJ and Wilder

    Ali and Tyson are overrated because they are popular well known names & hold hype. Most people don't actually know much about the intricacies and careers of these men. Your average joe thinks Ali was the greatest technical boxer ever because they saw a 5 minute youtube video of him making Liston/Patterson miss punches by inches with some slick footwork.

    I agree with most of this, but Joshua isn’t as stiff as everyone makes him out to be, he’s got a compact style but he’s pretty fluid when he gets into the rhythm of a fight

    Out of that group you felt Fury warranted a special explaination?

    Larry Holmes
    Lennox Lewis

    K-2 and Fury would beat all of these

    I see an argument for most of your list but if anyone deserves an explaination it's Ali. Furys never even defended a title and Ali is a 3 time undisputed world champ
