    Ali didn`t have the power to knock out Fury, Wilder hits far harder than Holmes or Ali did and Wilder had a longer reach than Ali too.

    The version of Fury that fought Wilder isn't the version of Fury that fought Ngannou and Usyk.

    It's a wonder Sonny Liston ever lost a fight with his eighty four inch reach.

    The answer is yes, they would make easy work of him.

    The level of the Classic forum has dropped to sad lows when you have multiple guys suggesting Fury could potentially beat prime Lewis and Ali.

    This place used to be better than this. Now it isn't too much better than the General forum.

    Even at 256 pounds Lennox never had moobs.

    Wilder was nowhere near Usyk`s level.

    Holmes didn't tend to make easy work out of anyone.

    No. I don’t think any of those fights would be “ easy” if Fury was in good form. In fact it’s a fight that a 1970’s George Foreman might lose.

    No Fury would be a hard fight for any boxer especially ones not used to fighting someone as big and skilled as he is they can def win but it wouldn't be easy
