    Already have. Outboxing old Klitschko and then going off the rails is good but not even close to enough proof

    I mean a skilled large heavyweight is hard for anyone to deal with imo

    Honestly I don't see how that automatically makes him the h2h goat or even top 5 because it's pure subjectivity. Imo he already gets dropped and boxed in by Holmes, let alone other greats

    by "outboxing" you mean possibly landing one or 2 more jabs over 12 rounds in a rhythm bereft dance recital criminally billed as a heavyweight boxing championship contest against a massively overrated "champion" in his dotage.

    fury was never really any good.

    Even the greats struggled with fighters bigger then them who weren't skilled now imagine having to deal with someone bigger who's also skilled its not an easy fight for anyone

    That's just revisionist history he clearly was good at a certain point but obviously all the years pigging out have taken its toll

    Doesn't make him the H2H goat. His resume doesn't reflect your opinion. That's just the objective take and Fury has looked like crap numerous times, even post Klitschko, plus Klitschko didn't throw anything. He was always tentative after he changed his style up

    You look at the Ngannou knockdown in slow motion and it wasn't even that clean a shot. Ngannou's elbow also clips Fury's shoulder taking some of the zing off it. Fury needs to retire is my takeaway.

    H2H isn't about resume its purely about eye test which yes is subjective af. But I'm just using common sense logic, size does matter end of the day

    Skill matters much more. H2H is an overrated perspective, especially in Fury's case due to his inconsistency and numerous dodgy wins on a record which isn't anything to write home about to the other greats

    A large skilled man will always have an edge over a small skilled man that's just objective reality. But I agree with your other points, Fury is in no way comparable to the other greats in terms of legacy
