    Agreed, but the boxing hall of fame is liberal.

    Toney & Calzaghe are locks.

    Fury started Raw and Amateurish right up to just a few years & handful of fights ago, I was neither a fan or convinced of him. Then there was a Noticeable Improvement in his skill and approach. and I gave recognition and credit for that.

    He IS Certainly 'one of the Best' of the Giants, the S-HWs... however there are still a couple of fair realities to put into place with respect to Fury and the other Top S-HWs.

    I don't think Fury beats prime LL, either Klit or some of the Great Smaller S-HWs - Ali, Forman, Holmes and others. I do think he beats MOST of the Normal size HWs just because of Height, Reach and weight. It is a truly separate division from HW.

    anyhow for my money Fury is NOT the Best S-HW, but I leave the listing of order to True Historians and Honest assessment & evaluation.

    but he is certainly Most Improved and AMONG Them.
