    Some would say McDermott.
    The fights with Wilder are in the past, I feel no pain from Wilder's defeats, I'm just discussing.
    Some would characterize Fury's standing at 9 (in the Wilder 1 fight) as a defeat.
    Some would characterize the counts (in the Wilder 3 fight) as too slow.
    Some would say that the fight with Wallin should have been stopped due to a cut (me).
    As far as I know, the list ends here.

    EDIT 30.X 2023.
    ...zero or five (Ngannou)?

    Zero...

    Unless we're counting imaginary like the imaginary loss Usyk has to Dubious. or the imaginary loss usyk has to Fury in the future from which I've time travelled back from after travelling forward to, 2 months in the future from today with a video camera to record it as proof.

    zero, never saw the mcdermont fight so i cant weigh in

    im never a proponent of long count debates, its the ref count not a ten second stop watch count. Fury beat the count

    i actually never heard much complaining about fight 3 until way after the fight was over and done. i dont think theres any validity there

    he could have legitimately been stopped vs wallin

    Both McDermott fights were great. Fury fighting on empty from round 4 onwards in both. You can see the fighting spirit deep inside. Unwavering belief even in the trenches of hell. It's akin to Frazier Ali Thrilla in Manila. I know you think I'm joking to dare compare but two men fighting on nothing but heart and spirit in searing temperatures battling just to survive was just that. AJ was even in the crowd and rumoured to have fainted from the heat just as a spectator.

    I mean, he has zero defeats.

    With different judges and referee, he could possibly have five...WilderX2, McDermott, Wallin, and Cunningham could have been a DQ for pulling his hands down.

    I haven't watched the McDermott fight in years, but that is the one most people think was genuine bad decision gone his way. Of the others, the Cunningham fight is really the one that most sticks in me. He should have at least gotten a point deducted and Cunningham given time to recover.

    The Wilder and Wallin fights were the discretion of the judges, and they did nothing wrong.

    This.

    He could have been stopped against Wallin and Wilder, but the way he continued showed it was the right decision not to in both cases.

    Haven't seen McDermont, but thought his win against Wallin was deserved and that he also should have won the first fight against Wilder.

    This long count nonsense I don't understand. The rules are crystal clear that it's the refs count the fighter shall listen to and Fury would have made 10 in any case.

    Yeah, that would probably have been the right course of action. Fury would have won anyway, though. Cunningham seemed done even before the KO.

    A DQ would perhaps been a bit harsh, but not so much that I'd call it dead wrong.

    The Wilder counts were fine it doesn't have to be exactly 10 seconds in real time, Fury just has to beat the Referee's 10 count which he did successfully with no controversy.

    The cut vs Wallin could've been stopped by some referees, but Fury was winning the fight and mostly had the best out of it in the 2nd half of fight so i don't see much controversy there.

    The 1st McDermott fight however Fury definitely lost that one, it was considered such a bad decision that they actually changed the rules on how British title fights were scored. Instead of having a referee decide a winner they now have 3 judges just like how normal title fights are scored.

    "Fury definitely lost that one"

    Fury haters claim this but Boxrec and Eyeonthering have Fury winning. It was a highly competitive war where McDermott massively overperformed relative to expectations, not a robbery. Even Jim Watt said "whichever way this goes" in the last round, which Fury won and McDermott turned his back multiple times while being hit without being penalised, at one point running away. The score was too wide but the decision was fine.

    The Cunningham fight doesn't get mentioned much in this respect but Fury was rough with the finish, he could have lost by TD or DQ after Cunningham stayed down. I don't know of a case where a fighter's been DQ'd for using his forearm to set up a punch though. The ref could have given Cunningham time to recover as @catchwtboxing suggests but Cunningham had already (illegally) got a minute of additional rest time after round 5 when Richardson cut his glove. If you flatly refused to come out for a minute after a round was supposed to begin you'd get DQ'd.

    Who cares he is a duck who only faced two good opponents ,one of them was old and shot and Fury ran like a chicken while being on juice and his second best opponent was a limited stiff with zero boxing skills and he managed to floor Fury 4 times . Fury survived , but not without a controversy . Fury is a joke and a drug cheat.
