    Fury will beat Wilder again and then he will take the belts from Joshua/Usyk. Afterwards he'll retire as the GOAT @ HW!

    AJ is an easier opponent for Fury than Wilder

    Just as others said, Fury retiring after beating Wilder puts him at Riddick Bowe tier on the ATG list. Similar to how Bowe had an elite win over prime Holyfield and 2 world level wins over Larry Donald and Herbie Hide, Fury has an elite win over past it Klitschko and a world level win over Wilder.

    Not that it will ever penetrate your monomaniacal distaste for him, the reason Fury may prove to be a historically special fighter is that he finds a style to beat whoever is in front of him. The versions of Fury that beat Klitcshko and Wilder in the second fight could have been different people altogether. Very few boxers can do that and if he does it to Joshua/Usyk then his legacy is secure. If not, he won't have fulfilled his potential.

    Wake up. Klitschko was 5 years ago and Fury was roided when he beat him. That's why he didn't do the rematch. Fury hasn't fought in 2 years and he just faked Covid to push the fight back. He's a con man and a fraud.

    Those fights were prep for Wilder fight you dumb. He returned from 2.5 years gap.

    I'm afraid your agenda smothers your reason.

    Not very high on an ATG level. Not with the thin resume. H2H is subjective as hell. One can look like a machine versus the right opponents. Andre Berto looked like an ATG WW against some of his comp.

    I'd rate him as a HoF, but not ATG. Win, Lose or Draw, he will likely retire (or go on a long hiatus) after the fight - tucking his tail in between his legs & settling off into the sunset - finding a career in Hollywood or Wrestling Entertainment (which he's already donr)

    They also lost to people who weren't that good, Fury beat an ATG and also the best in the world at the time, Douglas and Rahman would both lose to Wilder

    The real problem for Fury is Wilder will probably retire

    but if wilder really wanted to he could easily build back up and beat some decent men
