Tyson Fury's top 5 wins (top 10)

1- Klitschko
2- Wilder 2020
3- Wilder 2021
4- Chisora 2014
5- Whyte

 

Wladimir
Wilder 2
Wilder 3
Chisora 2
Whyte

Something like that I think
Then maybe

Chisora 1
Chisora 3
Wallin
Cunningham
Hammer

I think Fury deserved the victory in his first fight with Wilder and I would have probably put that at 2


Something like the above though I would guess

 

Wlad and chisora are the only worthwhile opponents

Maybe whyte
Very lacklustre resume if I'm honest. Only one great win against a pensioner

 

1. Klitschko
2. Wilder II
3. Wilder III
4. Whyte
5. Chisora II

Pretty shyte Top 5 to be honest.

 

I'd remove Wilder myself, but I understand he was highly ranked (wrongly)

Shyte is right lol

 

I admit it is not the greatest but the 2nd Chisora win was a decent

 

I guess it's how you view it and also down to circumstance as well tbf
Holyfield
Holyfield
Hide
Tubbs
Sheldon
Gonzalez
Etc

 

Klitschko
Wilder
Whyte
Chisora
Hamer

 

As far as Wilder goes..

If we were looking at where they were ranked that's one thing.

But to then look at the likely outcomes H2H? I think it's clear why he ducked Whyte and TBH I have always thought Chisora would be a nightmare for Wilder.


Ironically, in the fullness of time, I'm starting to see the first fight as Fury's best win over Wilder (setting aside the official draw as a result of a blatantly cooked card).
It's not that it was the most dominant win, the second fight was clearly that, but...
Wilder is and always was a very one dimensional fighter - he was good at finding KO punches if you gave him range and allowed him to set, but absolutely useless on the back foot. Anyone who put him on the back foot and kept him there would've had a very good chance of beating him - hence why I've always thought Chisora had a good chance.
But that's why I'm starting to rate Fury's win in the first fight more highly than the other two - he was unfit, gave Wilder opportunities to fight the only way he's effective and still won.


However you want to slice it, Fury's resume all comes down to Wlad and not doing too badly against Usyk - there's asterisks against Whyte (chin cracked by Pov the fight before) and Wilder (who really knows how good he ever was, and why should anyone give him the benefit of the doubt when he had so much opportunity to prove it?)... And then all that's really left is Chisora, who's often underrated but nevertheless not the strongest of figures to be right up high on your resume.

 

Fury's resume does not match his ability, it's a shame so many fights fell by him. 3 years inactivity. Haye ducking him. He toyed or ground down all of his opponents but Usyk. He would have made easy work of pretty much anyone. I'm pretty sure he will fight once more if someone like Dubious is reigning still by the end of the year but I don't think his body can bloat up and go down again to perform.

We got to see the creme de la creme with that first Fury Usyk fight and unfortantyl for Fury as his discipline issues made him fall short again his fault the Usyk was on the horizon and he didn't take it seriously in till 6 months prior.

 

Or he chose not to take them.

His record would look FAR better if he rematched Wlad and won, for example, and that fight was right there begging him to take it.
Heck, it'd look better if he'd rematched Wlad and lost a close decision, IMHO.

Blame everyone else if you want, but it's a cop out to claim greatness without proving it - anybody can do it, and plenty do so by ducking challenges where they'd be likely to lose some and win some.

This is pure supposition - because, as above, he doesn't have the depth of resume to back it up.

He looked great at times, but there's far too many asterisks for him to go down as a true great, IMHO.
