    Usyk then one of Joyce or AJ is enough for me. He'll then have cleaned out most of the top HWs in his generation which is all he can do.

    In terms of who I'd boot out of the original list - definitely Marciano (never a top 10 hw in my view) and , as much I love smoking Joe, Frazier.

    Stop fighting the same old boxers who do nothing for his paper thin resume. Fury's best win is a shot Wlad. I don't even rate Wlad in his prime, he got sparked twice and also lost to AJ.

    If he beat Usyk and AJ it would do a lot for his resume.

    People here love to be hating on Tyson don't they. Apart from Ali tell me a fighter with more than 5 noticeable memorable fights that everyone you stop on the street (not the fanboys and boxing fans) will know?

    By the end of his career if Fury has ended Klitschko's great domination, dominated Wilder 3 times, beat Usyk, AJ and Joyce/Ruiz, this will be more than enough to put him in top 5 even.

    Fury can NEVER be an ATG, he is a 2cd/3rd Rate fighter period... even AJ AND Usyk won't change that.

    He's a Media Made Protected Cash Cow... Boxing, he is NOT a True Top Level fighter, nevermind ATG.

    Beat Uysk to become undisputed in a dominating effort where there’s no need to see a rematch. Beat Joyce. Beat Joshua in a grudge match.

    Fight a few ring magazine fighters raked in the top ten that are in their prime for openers. He needs to fight and beat Usyk, and Joyce ( quickly before both age too much ) at least two young guys Hrgovic and Jalolov and hope that can later on become champions to sniff the all time top ten. I doubt he can will or can do it. No more disgraceful mis-matched vs old men and shot men!

    What a load of ****.

    If he beats Usyk and Joyce of course he goes down as an atg.

    If he wants to put himself up with the likes of Joe Louis, Ali and Lennox Lewis he has to beat Usyk, Joshua and possibly Joyce also.

    That's fine but I feel certain people will always shift the goal posts with Fury. If he gets through Usyk and Joyce he's an all timer imo.

    I'm not sure the AJ fight is as hard anymore.

    Beating Joyce would cement his legacy.

    If Joyce can fight for another 3 years at the level he currently does he can easily secure all them belts. Nobody will beat him but Fury.

    Wilder will claim another belt very soon also

    Usyk will retire next year after losing to Fury.

    AJ will get rolled by Bakole.

    Well Fury didn't dominate Wilder 3 times he was floored 4 times in 2 fights, and almost stopped in 2 of the fights thats not "domination". He only dominated Wilder in fight 2.

    Holyfield had Bowe 2, Tyson x2, Moorer 2, Douglas, Foreman, Holmes, Mercer.

    Lewis had Tyson, Holyfield x2, Ruddock, Golota, V.Klitschko, Tua.

    Holmes had Norton, Shavers x2, Witherspoon, Cooney, Mercer.

    Your saying "if" Fury does this or "if" Fury does that. Well the fact is he hasn't done it yet, and thats why people are on his case and rightfully so. No one wants to see Chisora 3 or Wilder 4.
