Dusseldorf Fury vs 37 year old Lennox Lewis, Larry Holmes from the Mercer fight, 1974 Ali

Prime Tyson Fury vs past it Lewis, Holmes, Ali. Can he clear this list ?

Ali wasn't as agile and got hit a alot at this point. Lewis was old and lethargic, ready for the taking, Holmes was still good in his 40s but not elite anymore

 

Fury beats em all

Think how good Usyk is. And Fury almost beat him. Prime Fury dusts all these HWs.

 

Lennox might still be able to pull out a win due to his power. Ali and Holmes lose.

 

Fury's squandered talent is the greatest tradegy of the last 10 years.

If he thinks he can find something in this years "comeback" to remove that seed of regret he holds then he'll end up on the floor realizing that father time has already beaten him.

 

People genuinely think the Ali that beat Foreman loses to the mysterious Dusseldorf Fury who 116-112'd a close to 40 year old Wladimir?

 

They all find the ATG magic to beat a mythical, overrated Fury, who isn't an ATG.

 

The T-Rex fought fierce,
At times it got gory,
But it finally fell,
To Dusseldorf Fury,
The Sabre Toothed Tiger,
Then got it's shot,
But it's razor sharp claws,
Availed it not,
As the Dragon and Hydra,
Awaited their fate,
They'd surely've backed out,
If it wasn't too late,
The carcasses strewn,
Told their own striking story,
There was nothing alive,
Could beat Dusseldorf Fury,

 

The lore of the mythological Düsseldorf Fury continues to grow

 

I could see Fury winning a close decision against a washed up Larry Holmes.

 

I don't think he beats Lennox or Ali, might beat that Holmes

 

Exactly...

Mythical Fury does okay - that's Fury who's both slick and evasive and has decent power.

Mythical Fury didn't exist, ever, and basically couldn't.

Slick Fury was featherfisted, and still prone to making errors that would still see him get hit.
Powerful Fury was still only moderately powerful, but much less evasive and much easier to hit.

Fans tend to lump the plus sides of the two together without acknowledging the downsides of both versions.

In truth, Usyk might've fought the best balance - just evasive enough, with okay power when the situation allowed him to try and use it (not much).


No real version of Fury (as actually seen) beats Lennox from tko6, for example.

 

Wild boar meat Fury should clear but who knows, he’s not exactly consistent and he did say that quick smaller fighters troubled him the most. So that version of Ali would have the best chance, he punches harder than Cunningham when he plants his feet.

 

Larry Holmes might be the most overrated HW of all time

 

Can't beat what doesn't exist.

Actually given its dusseldorf Fury,, he probably beats Ali, Lewis and Holmes simultaneously whilst carrying Ray Mercer.
