    How's Fury do up against 3 of the biggest names of the 70 s Taking what we know of Fury ,is he capable of beating any of these ?
    And all 15 round s .

    15 rounds makes it harder for him to beat Shavers and Lyle because he have to evade fight ending shots for three more rounds than he did vs Wlad having said that Lyle and Norton were better at landing punches than Shavers, I feel Fury will be too negative to land on Norton because of his cross armed defense, it would be like the second Ali fight vs Norton , except Fury will land less punches than Ali did which will leave him less open to being countered than li was, I feel it would be a tight boring fight. I feel best chance would be vs Shavers getting on his bike and using his amazing reach, it would be like the Wlad fight, Lyle would land more than Shavers but I don`t know if he could land enough.

    If anyone of the 3 beats Fury, my money is on Norton ( of the Holmes fight). At some point , somebody overwhelmes Fury with volume and speed. The Norton of that fight was superb and it took at peak ATG to narrowly outpoint him.

    Yes, I would say volume and speed would be a good answer to Fury`s reach and movement.

    If he knocked out all three, I'd say he's definitely up there with em.

    Fury outpoints Shavers and Lyle. He lose to Norton by close UD.

    This. I think Norton might end up SD though, it would be a very good fight!!!

    I’d take Fury over all three. Lyle would be the most interesting imo. Think Lyles skill set could put Fury in some bad situations.
    Norton style wise would do ok but can’t see him pulling this out

    I'd fancy him over all three but he'd have to come in at his best against Norton. Shavers and Lyle have too many rough edges to beat him, although with their power you never know.
