    Wilder will be Fury's Mandatory after the Ruiz Eliminator. So theoretically the 4th fight is on.

    Ruiz will most probably beat Wilder though.

    Fury beats everyone Lennox beat. Stay mad about it.

    After he stops Usyk a man who is on the level of Holyfield many would even claim is a better boxer then all Fury would need is a Joyce on his resume is easily on par with Lewis's. AJ, Whyte, Chisora all these chumps are easy fights for Fury. EASY. He made EASY work of Wlad & Wilder also AND he hasn't been KO'd twice by two Chisora level men.

    Briggs
    Vitali
    Holyfield x2
    Bruno
    Tua

    Shot to pieces Tyson & Morrison don't even count. The fact you even named Morrison is embarrassing. Ancient Holmes took Mercedes the distance.

    This is nothing spectacular.

    If Fury beats Joyce he surpasses Lennox. Joyce is twice the fighter AJ is and rolls all of Lennox's resume himself.

    Some interesting rose tinted glasses takes here.

    Add Joyce to that list then he would have all the scalps of his generation.

    if Andy wins against Wilder then add Andy

    If you look at legacy Lewis is ahead, but it is not unreasonable to think prime Fury would win against prime Lewis.

    He needs a win over Jalalov, Anderson, or some other young guns. Waiting around on fighters to be over the hill is his modus operandi. Lets see if he can beat guys with a decade or more on him, like he had on two of his biggest wins.

    It isn't unreasonable to think Langford would beat Gibbons.

    Oh...wait.

    If he beats Usyk & retires undefeated ya, Usyk is generational .. prime Lewis lost to Rahman , Mercer & McCall imo

    He wasn't peak he was 37 & and had only fought once since 1997 against a bum and didn't look great in that.. plus he'd had all those Bowe, Tyson, Moorer, Foreman etc wars by then.. great HW but by that stage was losing to the likes of Ruiz.. Lennox has a great resume but people forget a lot of the great heavyweights he fought were past their best including Tyson and Holyfield..

    Not unreasonable but pointless. Because we know who Fury has actually beat not "fantasy beat" and the resume is not up to snuff.

    Fury and his fans seem to get off on the idea he can beat anyone in history when his most notable wins are past prime Klitchko and 3 fights a piece with Deontay Wilder and Derek freakin Chisora. So no I won't give Fury the benefit of the doubt in any fantasy match-up with actual ATGs.
