    Who in your opinion from this era can give Tyson Fury problems? Fury is only 1 fight away from eliminating the 3 most dangerous men of his era. Every time Fury faces a champion he makes them look like they have never touched a pair of gloves before. So who will give Fury real problems? IMO Tyson Fury retires undefeated.

    Not sure if this is a genuine post or fanboy nonsense but here goes:

    Otto Wallin did. Unless you don’t count that gash on Fury’s face a problem. I don’t know if the fact that Wallin cut and battered Fury a bit before losing speaks more about Wallin being under rated or Fury being over rated. I do know fights have been stopped on less and Fury should be thankful that the money people are behind him.

    Wilder knocked him down twice. You know, Wilder, the guy without fundamentals, or balance?

    Does being knocked down twice in a championship fight where you didn’t knock your opponent down count as a problem? He did do a cool Undertaker impression getting up. Kudos to him for that.

    He has defended the lineal title he took from a forty year old Wlad six times.

    He defended it four of the six times against: Sefer Seferi, Francesco Pianeta, Tom Schwarz, Otto Wallin.

    Anyways, Stellar opposition (sarcasm) for the lineal! heavyweight champion, however it’s hard to answer your question with defenses against subpar opposition like that.

    Let’s see who his next opponent is before sucking all the kool aid out of him for needing nineteen rounds to dispose of Wilder.

    Tony Yoka, 6'7, Olympic gold medalist, already ranked 13 on boxrec and 9 with the IBF. He could definitely give Fury a fight in a couple fights, despite the nonsense people talk about him.

    Bakhodir Jalolov, 6'7, #1 rated amateur, amateur world champion, going to compete in the Olympics, currently 6-0 in pro, all KOs of course, not rated with any sanctioning bodies yet, however.

    Joe Joyce, 6'6, Olympic Silver medalist, 2 or 3 with the WBO, 10 on Boxrec. If Fury doesn't retire, this is a few fights way, probably just after the Joshua fights.

    Zhilei Zhang, 6'6 or 6'7, two time Olympian, Olympic silver medalist, passes the eye test (so fast and strong), the only issue is his age, but we have seen a few old fighters recently pick up upsets. He is rated 9 with the WBO so with Hearn looking to set up a big title fight in China, Zhilei could fight a world champion in '22.

    Show me a 273 pound 6'8" switch hitting 12 round gas tank slick super heavyweight.

    You can't. Never been done before.

    Fury is the first of his kind and will be the last of his kind for centuries to come.

    Bow down at his greatness

    John McDermot beat Fury the first they fought. Everyone watching thought so too, that is why Fury got booed so badly that night.
    Fury did win the rematch though, and had improved leaps and bounds since.

    Currently I only see Joshua maybe having a chance against Fury. I have Fury the heavy favourite though.

    I can never tell if you're being satirical, I'm not arguing about TF being great, but you don't think that 6'8 270 pound fighters will be common soon? I bet that by 2100 tons of top HWs will be like seven feet tall, if not a little bigger.

    McDermott already did.
    Usyk has a good chance, Joshua a very good chance.
