    Force of nature, he has 1 fit opponent in his career, he should have been striped long time ago. I dont see him beating AJ nor Zhang nor Joyce nor Hrgovic nor Bakole and especially not Usyk. He is a fraud that is just waiting to get exposed. You'll see.

    I think he will beat Bakole and probably Joyce, as he is just too slow and easy to hit. Hard to say for Zhang. AJ goes from overrated to heavily underrated on here.
    As far as Usyk goes, depends how long Fury try to age him out, as this is his plan.

    Bakole and Zhang are hungry for the belt, I doubt their slowness will make Fury superior, and both are stronger than him. Usyk is faster and better tehnicaly, and Fury cant K.O. him, Usyk wins easy decision.

    I don’t rate Bakole, he is the "sparring" Champ. I don't think he is any good.
    It will be bad luck if Fury ducks him too though. He is still better opposite than Kabayel.
    Usyk is already past his best, so every month will get worst for him.
    Zhang is 40, so...

    Can you name those proven fighters right now who you wont label bums after he destroys them? 10 different fighters for example

    Fury has replaced Riddick Bowe as the H2H champ in fantasy fights. Unfortunately he's yet to have his Andrew Golota moment. It'll come.

    there aren't ten, there never are. but fury routinely fights the bottom part of the top ten or far more often, scoops guys up from the top fifty.

    Very solid post, I agree fully Fury has proven little in a weakera with many ducking major opponents.
    It's not based on what someone could do but what they have. The greats have 15-20+ defences Fury is nowhere near that and has struggled with what would considered lower level boxers. Fury talks a big game but has delivered very little in reality.
    His best fight was probably Wilder 2 in terms of actually using his size and pushing forward with aggression.

    I get not liking the guy, but this take is as deranged as Miniq's just in the opposite direction.
    Fury would be a considerable favorite over all of those guys sans Usyk.
