    I don’t have a rating to provide but I think he’d be handful for just about anybody

    What was Wlad's peak performance in your opinion?

    H2H among Top HWs Boxers over the 150 years, Fury ranks with those on the Fringe.

    In that case, I don't think Fury really had a prime if it wasn't against Wlad. The guy spiraled into drug abuse, mental health issues, and heavy weight gain after Wlad. He's recovering now, but every fight, people worry about whether the effects of earlier abuse and age are going to do it this time.

    To early needs to beat a good fighter (Wilder isn’t one). If he beats Usyk Which I don’t think he can I’ll rank him.

    Furys prime was in the Wilder rematch.. That performance was mathematical. Obviously he lost a step because of the layoff but he was still very good last night.

    Fury 6 years ago had a terrible diet and unprofessional training champs. His punches were kinda limp from shedding too much weight. You can definitely say he's more prime now

    He might have had unprofessional training camps and a bad diet, but he's had all sorts of issues -- age, weight, mental health, drugs -- between then and now. Plus ring wear. People are already worrying about signs of decline from Wilder 3 last night. I'm not sure he's exactly a health nut currently, either.

    It may well be that there's some hypothetical version of Fury who got his act together sooner during his physical prime, though (much like the equally hypothetical 1969 Ali, Tyson-Who-Kept-Rooney, or 70s Foreman with 90s Foreman's boxing brain).

    I'd like to see Fury face off against Usyk. Success or failure for him here might tell us a little more about how he could handle a top-flight guy of smaller stature, with agility.

    As it stands, I'd find it difficult to bet against Fury, even if he were considered the underdog against whoever.

    He's huge; he has mobility; he has a sound ring IQ and can, therefore, box but can also disrupt, spoil and make a match a street-fight, if need be, with a chin that would likely carry him through any precarious moments.

    Foreman, Ali, Lewis, Holmes, Tyson, etc etc - they'd all be in for one helluva fight against Fury.

    Fury's issues with the party lifestyle and "mental health" conveniently occured during the exact same period when he couldn't fight due to testing positive for steroids and went away at the same time his license was reinstated. He pretty much lives for boxing and should have at least a few good years left because he's a big guy who uses technique.

    Wilder, on the other hand, hasn't looked the same to me since the weight gain. He looked good last night until he got his bell rung, though, so that might have been why he started gassing.

    Since this is about H2H, he's top 10 easy. If he also beats Usik, he can even be considered top 5.
    And no, Louis is not even top 10, let alone top 5. Your top is very bad if you have puny ancient Louis in there.

    What part of this list being about H2H ability didn't you get ?!?????
    How on Earth can you ever rank puny ancient Tunney ahead of Fury ?!?? Fury obliterates him effortlessly.
    Fury also destroys Johnson, Marciano, Frazier, Charles, Louis.

    Ali is not bigger than Usik, they are roughly the same size.
    And Jeffries stands no chance against a modern boxer, he'd get humiliated by almost any good HW
