    That wasn't prime Fury. I say that as someone who couldn't care less he lost.

    He did prove to be a H2H monster, though. There were times where he was making Usyk look outright foolish. He is probably a tough fight for anyone in history, but he'd definitely take some Ls along the way.

    Took one tonight.

    Highly debatable.

    Fury and Joshua are both very good - you can argue for both of them in different ways.

    What is clear, I think, is that these two are 2 and 3... Which way around is less so.

    I suspect Joshua would win if they fought, but I could be wrong about that - and I'm not expecting to be proved right or wrong, I'm not expecting to see them fight.

    The answer to this thread is whether Usyk can beat a peak Lennox Lewis?

    Timing matters.

    I think Haye would have beaten Fury when they were scheduled to fight. Haye was all wrong for a green Fury who had been given trouble by Cunningham and Pajik.

    Wlad would have beaten unmotivated drug addled Fury in a rematch.

    Fury schools the AJ who beat Wlad. Fury at his best is a H2H nightmare for anyone in history. I think Lennox is the man to beat him size and ability wise at their best.

    Usyk's closer to his than Fury.

    I absolutely love Usyk and think he is something special, but I love Lennox, too. Lennox was special as well.

    Usyk fanboys are more delusional than Rocky Marciano of Floyd Mayweather fanboys.

    Lol you don't watch much boxing do you? Fury just lost to Usyk a blown up light punching cruiser weight but head to head he would trouble any legit heavyweight great? But his size? Because clearly there were no 6'7 heavyweights until Fury came along right?

    Any legit heavyweight from Foreman, Bowe, Lennox Lewis, would stop Fury. Hell I would pick Michael Grant to stop Fury.

    If you think Grant stops Fury then I wish I was your bookie. Absolute clown take.

    I'm as big as a Lennox fan as you'll find and he lost to Rahman FFS. Losses happen and timing and context matters. Still prob what I should expect from a Chicken Bowe fan.
