How Many ATGs and HOFers Has Tyson Fury Beat?

Sure, the division was weak. But Wlad went out and fought top contenders after top contenders. How many have Fury and Wilder fought?
You can combine Fury and Wilder´s resumes and you would still come up short of 10 legitimate top 10 contenders.

Chris Byrd, Lamon Brewster, Samuel Peter, Sultan Ibragimov, Jameel McCline, Ruslan Chagaev, David Haye, Alexander Povetkin, Kubrat Pulev and Bryant Jennings; all legitimate contenders and way more impressive than what Fury and Wilder have combined.
Wlad is an ATG because he went on a dominant run where he faced top tier competition of that time. Povetkin, Haye and Pulev; they were the widely considered as the NR 1 contenders at the time of the fights.
And of course Wlad also faced Fury, another contender sitting at the top spot, and then there was Joshua.

 

This is genuinely one of the most stupid posts I have ever seen. Do you think every fighter peaks, and is shot at the exact same age? Jesus Christ....Ali had parkinson's ffs. Wlad looked to have lost a step against Jennings but wasn't shot.

 

Wad is an ATG. Although wasn't ATG level when Fury fought him. Windmill probably will get into HOF despite his best win being over an 80 year old Cuban.

Fury does have a good resume but really needs to fight Usyk for his legacy.

 

What for would Wilder get into the HOF?

And what resume does Fury have? A handful of top 10 opponents?

 

I know there's an actual boxing HOF but I'll use my own thoughts

I think you can make an argument Wlad was an ATG and Wilder is definitely a HOF, and that's it. I know Delboy has his fans but him and the Whytes of this world aren't HOF. They're not even champions. Cunningham isn't a HOF either

Fury will be remembered for his Wlad win and Wilder trilogy which still dominates post-Klitschko heavyweight boxing. It's a good resume and I sometimes feel the Fury hate (which I am proudly part of) undermines his legitimate achievements, but for a bloke claiming to be X, Y and Z it is dog**** and people claiming to be true boxing fans should hold the man to a higher standard. Fury has had 6 title fights - 3 against the same bloke and one against a bloke who he had already beaten twice. He isn't fit to sniff Ali's or Lewis' pants

 

His knockout % in title fights and continuous title defences is HOF worthy. HOF, in my opinion, is also somewhat down to context and era, and Wilder was fighting in the post-Wlad wasteland before Fury, AJ and Usyk did their thing, so it stands out better. I know a lot of his wins weren't against stellar opposition but I'm of the belief that a lot of the guys on SRR's or Archie Moore's records were club fighters. You respect the achievement for what it was instead of dissecting it like a butterfly. Dissecting resumes is for when you go hard like comparing Oscar to Canelo or something

It's extremely subjective and the actual boxing HOF inducting a microscopic amount of fighters each year doesn't help

 

I won't go into the merits of the case from the achievement, resume or 'eye-test' POV.
Others have made the case in here already.

I rank him at 10 all-time in the division.

You cannot make a serious case for having him outside the top twenty.

And unless there have been fewer than twenty ATGs ever in the division, the dude is without doubt an ATG.

 

Indeed it is. The clucking chicken himself.

 

Cos its boxing. Not saying it's right snd I think Windmill is a clown and a one tricky pony but he'll definitely get in.

 

Fury did not even beat any top fighter in their prime.

 

Wilder does not belong anywhere near a legitimate HOF but this is pro boxing, so he's a certainty :-(.

 

Wlad is an ATG. Wilder is not near a hof

 

I'm not gonna lie. I have no idea why you posted this song ... but I'm glad you did. Now if you would just post Creeque Alley.
