    Foreman beat Frazier, Norton and some serious fighters. Not all bums.

    Due to era, Fury will never qualify for GOAT in heavyweight
    If he has 40+ fights with top tens and young contenders then possibly

    He''ll be the undisputed best of the post Lennox era if he beats AJ.

    Wlad
    2 x Deontay
    Plus a victory over AJ is a phenomenal record.

    No way. Even if Tyson Fury beats everyone and retires undefeated, he will never have the overall offensive and defensive capabilities of Rocky Marciano, let alone comparable physical fitness. And Fury will always be below Muhammad Ali just because of speed and agility.

    That's a whole different question than GOAT. That's head-to-head

    You can't be serious. He was the dominant fighter in boxing and expected to easily beat him. In incredible condition.

    Watch the fight again. Everybody was mad at the lack of punches. He won clearly but it was against an Old Wlad.

    Tyson Fury would lift Marciano from the ground. And regarding Ali.... Tyson is like a bigger Foreman. Much bigger and better technically. He would terminate Ali in one, two rounds. Ali is immensely overrated, 80% o his opponents would be fighting at light heavyweight, today.

    Hard to rank with only Klitschko and Wilder on his resume. Fury probably needs Joshua, Whyte and Usyk on there before he calls it time. His time out of the ring has cost his legacy slightly as he’d probably have Klitschko x 2 and some names like Parker, Povetkin and Pulev on there.

    I've already Fury in the list of the 10 best heavyweights ever (between 7th and 10th position) and he can improve...

    Tyson can control his output. The reason he didn't let his hands go was because even an old Wlad can still crack and KO him.
