Blimey u dont need to do much to be considered top 10 of all time these days....beat a guy by throwing like 3 punches a round...some dude with poor boxing skills, a body builder...and then someone who is naturally a weight class below ya
Yeah and also beat 30+ more guys and stay undefeated. Such an easy task, right? Wanna try it out and see how it goes???
All those fighters listed would have likely been KO'd by Wilder, except Wlad, and he might have been clipped too. And Fury would never have lost to some of the colourful characters those 'ATGs' lost to. As for his time off, you don't take that much time just for a PED conviction. Nobody else ever has in boxing. I don't excuse his behaviour, but let's be real he didn't do that because of the case against him, it went far beyond that. Listen to the stories Helenius tells of the training camp where Fury is letting him tee-off on his head etc. The guy has 'issues'. The Wlad fight was only boring to people who never watched it live, or rewatched it. Fury was heavy underdog and expected to be KO'd at any moment when Wlad eventually landed. There was nothing boring about it at the time, it was suspenseful and an incredible upset. Fury would beat anyone listed there. The idea he loses to Tyson and Holyfield is laughable with the size difference and the fact a MW beat Holyfield. Holmes had no power and Fury is far bigger too. Lewis was chinny and had no stamina. Prime Wlad could beat Fury perhaps but at best those two would have a competitive series together. Fury beats all of the so called ATGs or has a very good shot at it. So it doesn't matter who he's faced. People need to go back and actually watch some of these fighters and so how crude they were and how small they were too.
Based on his resume and career then top 10 of all time is easy....u said it...NOT me!! Ps he hasnt beat 30+ guys....he has beat 29 guys....please stop exaggerating
Fury v Usyk for Undisputed and best of this era simple as that,all this placement on ATG list is just peoples personal opinions nothing else .
Funny thing is after Fury beats Usyk...they are both still the best of this era. The best cruiserweight and the best heavyweight
Agreed! He can hang with the best from any era. But does beating past fighters in mythical match ups warrent ATG status? By what measure are people using when they say Fury is the greatest? Because, it isn’t on resume or accomplishments.
Will you admit Fury's greatness if he clearly beats CW and southpaw HW GOAT Usyk? Or will you cry and remain in denial?
How many defences did Liston and Foreman have? Find me a better example of "hit and not get hit" at HW than Fury-Wlad. The A-side dosser was dominated in his backyard, there was no competitive reason for a rematch. "fought two literal nobodies in his first two fights when back" Absolutely pathetic. No one can be expected to jump in with killers coming back from 31 months out, drug abuse and losing 10 stone. In fact, fighting Wilder in America in his 3rd fight back 6 months post-Sereri was regarded as suicidal at the time. "went life and death against wallin" How many decent southpaws did the "ATG's" fight? How did they fare against them when they did?
No, it'll just be Usyk whose the best of his era if he wins. Usyk is a legitimate heavyweight well over 200 lbs and beat a legitimate heavyweight titan to get his belts. Stop looking for consolation prizes.
