    Outside the top 20 for certain that I do know but I'm not sure where I would place them exactly.

    Yeah I think at the very best you could get people to agree on in mass is bottom of the top 20 I would be surprised if the first 3 options got many votes.

    A bit early, they need to fight each other before they retire. Also, it depends how you look at it from a prime for prime sense or a legacy sense. IMO - its pretty similar in both ways. Unlike the likes of Riddick Bowe, etc.

    Let's wait til they retire to put their careers in proper context. Wlad wasn't rated that highly during his reign. Now his stock goes up. Same for Lewis.

    Only someone with an agenda would place them in the top 20

    Well they can't be ranked together because AJ is so much further down the list. AJ is Chisora level. AJ was never a real champion.

    Fury on his night could give any heavy in history problems he just failed to achieve his full potential which drops him down heavily to #2 all time behind Oleksandr Usyk. :campeon:

    Neither are in the top 20, that much is for certain. I personally wouldn't have either 21-29 either.

    Then once you get to 31, 32....................40....................50 etc.............rankings start to become a bit pointless. The thing is...................once you really start naming HW upon HW upon HW, it gets hard to place any fighters once you get to 30 and lower. They could be top 30, they could just as easily be far lower in the 40's or 50's, at that point there's not really a right or wrong answer.

    They definitely aren't top 20 though.

    There are two separate questions for consideration here but only one set of poll options offered.

    On an all time list.....absolutely nowhere of any significance!!! Do u think 50 years from now we will talk of Fury and AJ like we do now about heavyweights from the 70's like Ali, Frazier, Foreman etc

    How does Ali fight Fury exactly?

    What about Foreman. How does he realistically win?

    This whole topic is a fool's game - given the mobile SHW's of today. All of them beat almost everyone.
