    A win for Fury over Usyk cements him as the best of his era however a loss to Usyk takes everything away as he’d have been beaten by a career Cruiserweight. A loss for Usyk to Fury detracts nothing away from him as like mentioned he’s a career Cruiserweight who has moved up to Heavyweight and dared to be even greater so Fury certainly has more to lose in this Undisputed fight. As for the H2H and ATG lists where it ranks Fury or even Usyk for that matter it’s just peoples own opinions with Usyk already cemented in the top two of best Cruiserweights to do it by most boxing fans already. Like already mentioned who ever wins they both have a lack of depth to there resumes which would no doubt affect there standings on any ATG list .

    Usyk fanboys will not give him credit. everyone else will give him little credit for beating older, smaller guy with great skill.

    Fury will need a lot more to be ranked, just like Usyk. Beating just AJ will not make you ATG at HW, just like Fury will not be ATG by just beating Wilder and old Wlad.

    Best of this era. Top 5 H2H HW. Around top 20 ATG HW.

    Fury was the GOAT the moment he was born

    Plenty of ATG heavyweights have many less title fights.

    Yellow Belly and The Dosser should fight each other all the time because their fans deserve each other

    Best HW of the post-Klitschko era.

    Question mark, lol.

    It's funny how many would struggle to accept Usyk as the best of this era.

    IF he beats Usyk and it's a big if, he'll have two generational victories. That's a lot.

    Four: Wlad, Wilder x2, Usyk (and five if Fury takes and wins an Usyk rematch).

    Im a Fury fan but if Usyk was able to beat him I’ve no problem accepting him as the best of this era . Hopefully it’s a good fight without any controversy.

    I don't agree that Wilder was generational, and if it was, the third fight certainly wasn't.

    Wilder is the hardest puncher of all time no questions asked. 212 pounds of nuclear Alabama crack demon.

    & the 2nd best HW of this generation next to Fury

    He'd take Usyk's head off with a jab. Great Usyk beat AJ but who the hell is AJ? Nobody that's who & the next 12 months will show that. Bought belts. Bought medals. Sure Wilder looks bad from a purists eye but he is a freak.
