Good synopsis

 

Fury is a beast head to head.there have been Giants before in boxing like carnera and values but they where limited and slow.fury is massive,fast,solid chin a switch hitter and skill full plus he's what 24-25 he will dominate for a long time

 

Muhammad Ali.

 

On his very best night Larry Holmes beats them all.

Right now it's debateable

In 5-10 years from now the undisputable answer will be Tyson Fury

 

:happy

 

:deal

 

Vitali Klitschko easily.

 

ali , in his prime he was just too fast and skilled for all of them , nobody can top him , a prime mike tyson was a monster but i just dont think ali would ever have let him get inside , he would dance all night long pushing out that jab and mike would be eating it for 12/15 rounds depending on the era of the fight .

 

By "the guy no fighter want to step in the ring with", historically, that would have been Sam Langford, for he was avoided by everybody; but he, technically, wasn't a heavyweight.....he just beat them. And, I don't tink any modern heavyweight would fear him.

Some one on here made a very astute observation by saying Americans would say Tyson, Brits would say Lewis, the media would say Ali, and MVC....whatever that is....would say Wilder.

I would disagree with that, simply from the aspect of money, though Lewis was far more "avoided" than the other three, if you really want to look at the evidence.

Most avoided heavyweight denotes people did not want to fight him for love or money.

Once again, historically, that's Langford. More recently, that would have been Chris Byrd; but I don't think anyone feared him.

I'd have to go with Charles "Sonny" Liston. He was so feared he almost didn't get a title shot until Floyd Patterson broke away from Cuts D'Matto's wishes and signed to fight him anyway. At 6' 1", 218Lb with an 84" reach, and fists so big around (14" ), he'd still be big enough to make a modern big man think twice.

Most feared......Sonny Liston.....though both Tyson and Lewis come close.
