    Wilder and Wlad couldn't stop Fury and they both have more impressive kayo fears than comeback Foreman.

    Presumably we are using a prime Fury not a past prime version 30 pounds overweight

    Foreman failed to kayo a guy who Bentt blew away in one round and another guy Jimmy Thunder took out in one round

    You didnt give anything reasonable, you focused on a scenario that had literally 0 relevance to my OG point. If thats your understanding of a counter-point have a good one.

    I’m of the impression that Fury thrashes both Bowe and Douglas without too much trouble. Bowe didn’t like not being the bigger man, had a bully vibe to his inside fighting and didn’t like it when the other person was of similar strength and dimensions. I also think Fury deals with Foreman - though not as easy as some would think - the Ngannou fight exposed that his pitty pat, awkward, slick tomfoolery is a bit of a mirage when someone is strong enough to walk through it - and certainly if they can punch (one reason I like AJ against him). Ultimately I think he comes through though.

    Tyson…that’s a weird match up. Can’t really decide whether the Cunningham fight is analogous here or not. But who knows.

    Lewis is a bad style matchup for him, and Holyfield himself would be a bad fight for Fury too. Would take Holyfield over Fury, and would be more confident of that bet than I would Lewis.

    Fury got dropped by a bloke who had never boxed professionally before, was put flat on his back in a highlight reel knockdown by Steve Cunningham, a cruiserweight with a 43% KO ratio, and should've lost by stoppage to Usyk, despite being much heavier than him. Usyk is also not known for his KO power. The idea that he could get KO'd by a smaller fighter coming up in weight is definitely not outside the realm of possibility. Fury is so overrated, it's almost laughable at this stage, and his resume will age like milk a decade or two from now.

    If he's at his absolute best he could beat everyone Holyfield did I think. If he doesn't prepare himself fully mentally and or physically then I think Bowe and 96' Tyson have very good chances of beating him. Bowe could end up getting outboxed to a decision, but Fury never has fought somebody with the combination of skill, size, stamina, durability and power of Bowe. His jab and inside fighting ability could cause Fury some serious problems. Fury's also been hurt and floored by much lesser punchers than Bowe and Tyson, who's post prison - pre bite fight form I think gets pretty underrated.
