    Fury is allowed the grace to rematch and beat his opponents if he comes unstuck and a rematch win counts as a clear

    Does the best Fury beat them all ?

    Clears all, Bowe and Lennox are good fights, Fury could outbox both.

    I don't think he'd beat Buster Douglas.

    Of course the usual thing is to bring up Fury's early fights or claim Lewis and Tyson are going to KO him before Cunningham dropped him etc.

    Let's take Fury somewhere from Chisora II to Usyk. At this point he always showed up for the big opponent and didn't wing it.

    The question then is more who could actually beat that Fury, not who does he beat.

    If you think Tyson could KO him, go watch Chisora or Hammer and see how hard it was to even land on his head when he fought defensively, not one clean shot was taken and these two are bigger and rangier. All Fury would do is box safe for the first handful of rounds and when Tyson slowed, start turning the screw. He'd make him quit or TKO. Tyson had no heart or plan B.

    If you think Lewis could, it's possible. But Fury doesn't stand in front with no head movement like Vitali K. He'll be very hard to hit and his engine is on a different level. When Lewis gasses, and he will, if Fury hasn't been KO'd he's clearly winning that fight and a stoppage is very possible due to Lewis' habit of having canvas naps after single punches.

    Fury also beats Evan Fields and he wouldn't get KO'd by the MW James Toney, LOL.

    Riddick Bowe was much better than Tyson Fury.

    Even John Fury admits this.

    Surely this is trolling, comeback George couldn't slaughter journeyman Stewart or Morrison.

    Doubt he would fight Fury to begin with

    If Fury fights them in the condition they were in when Holyfield fought them (ie. not their prime versions), then yes it’s very reasonable to think Fury could clear them, especially if he’s allowed rematches

    Fury beat a grand total of 3 top 10 ranked opponents in his career Wladimir, Wilder, Whyte.

    He didn't fight anywhere near the vast amount of notable Heavyweights that Holyfield fought.

    Fury should've lost to McDermott.

    Fury was very lucky to not be stopped on cuts by Wallin.

    Fury arguably should've lost to an MMA fighter.

    If Fury is forced to fight for a decade constantly fighting notable Heavyweights year in year out following the same timeline as Holyfield.

    There's not a snowballs chance in hell Fury clears the list.

    Remember we're talking about Fury who blows up in weight and has mental issues outside the ring.

    Assuming he is 100% turned up for all the matches, I think Lewis is the only one that stands a chance.

    90s Tyson had a 6-round stamina and he could never deal with getting mauled in the clinch.

    Bowe had sloppy feet, barely any defensive awareness and was at his best against smaller underpowered opponents that stood toe to toe with him, Fury would be the biggest and one of the hardest-hitting opponents he had at an elite level, he picks Bowe apart at range and batters him to a UD.

    Lewis is hard to say. I think he’d get outboxed by Fury, but Lewis was smart and versatile enough to turn a boxing match into a street fight, I think he’d get busted up by Fury at first and then TKO him on cuts in an inside-war.

    this assumes fury takes the fight. no way fury would get in the same ring as big george. hell, tyson would get a restraining order on george the week before they were in the same state

    Realistically Fury wouldn't turn up 100 percent for a decade having to fight notable ranked Heavyweights year in year out it's not a realistic scenario for Fury.

    Holyfield from the early 90s folds Fury.

    Holyfields resume is insane, even the shitty low level heavyweight wins were actually against pretty good guys, just not world class.

    I dont think there is a single heavyweight in existence who could have gone through Holyfields resume without getting stumped by at least one guy. Hell, Holyfield himself nearly lost to Cooper.
    Fury takes at least a couple of losses.
