    Fury is lucky to be top 100 with this paper thin resume.
    EDIT: Since this thread did not say anything about strictly HW ranking ATG, going with boxing as a whole

    A few people play those games here it seems, they backtrack, edit a previous post, a new logic emerges. It's a dangerous thought process.

    The best part is Frank Warren's reference to the voluble Eddie Hearn's "Vagina Monologues." :)

    Apologies .... It was meant to be heavyweight. But interesting to hear wider takes.

    On the flip side there will be people who say the same who claim Fury isn’t in the top 20

    We are not on about prime Holmes though. The version of Holmes that fought Mike Tyson doesn’t beat Tyson Fury any day of the week.

    Sure because Holmes that fought mike tyson is nowhere near the level of francis Nganou.

    You don't know much about boxing or follow the sport very closely, do you?

    So we only compare Fury to the washed up version of fighters do we?

    Is that why the gobblers rate him so highly?

    No of course not, but there was a reference to the Holmes version that fought Tyson. I think most rational people would pick Tyson Fury over the version of Larry Holmes that fought Mike Tyson.

    A bit of an exaggeration. Wallin made Tyson look bad at points, but one cut, not matter how split open, doesn't qualify as going life and death. It could have been justifiably stopped on that cut but Tyson won that fight fairly handily.
