    If Fury beats Usyk come May 18 in Riyadh, how high in the ATG rankings would that place him?

    I think he's gotta be top ten at that point.

    If he beats Joshua, Parker and Hrgovic you can name your ranking imo

    Fury stands alone as the only living undefeated heavyweight champion

    The only man to match Muhammad Ali as a 3x Ring Magazine champion

    The best of this era, the sexiest of this era and most importantly the most handsome of this era.

    ATG in regards to Heavyweights ? He sneaks into the Top 10. In regards to all time ? not that high Fury's resume would still be very thin in regards to wins against ranked opposition.

    And other Heavyweights have had better wins against fighters who moved up to Heavyweight.

    Tyson over Spinks

    Lewis over Holyfield

    One win against a middleweight doesn't shake up the ATG rankings. Fury still won't be in ANY discussion in years to come about any farcical claims that he is a top 10 ATG ffs

    He'd be the greatest undefeated HW ever. He might be the 2nd best 21st century HW after Wlad? But all time he would not be high enough for me to have a rank off the top of my head.

    He will be the anti Marciano. Marcianos a small guy who finished his career undefeated in spite of that and Tyson is the opposite of that. Hell be remembered as the guy who went undefeated because he was bigger than everyone.

    2nd best after Wlad in the 21st century? Hell no. Well ahead of midget pusher Wlad who beat nobody worth nout. Tony Thompson or David Haye? bhaaha. Fury whooped that ass and every ass after who ask for it.

    People keep crying for Fury to get more names on his resume but it's not his fault femi gets chinned every other fight and no doubt Parker or Hurgovic might chin him and ruin the Fury money for himself AGAIN.

    From an entertainment point of View Fury Wilder trilogy trumps them all.

    Fury won the fight but it was close enough and late enough in Wlads career where it doesn't elevate Fury above him IMO. I'm not saying Wlads ahead by a lot or anything.

    Which version of Wlad beats Fury? None. Wlad is lucky he got young Fury.

    David Haye crushed Dereck Chisora who your man fought 3 times.

    Haye would be one of Fury's best wins right now think about that for a second.

    Cmon... Even you don't really believe that.

    The Wlad fight was Fury's physical peak, without question.
    It's also his best display by far in terms of tactical discipline - he had to be damn near perfect to the plan to win, and in all fairness he was...

    It was an ugly win, but a clear one - but there's no way on earth you can claim that was anywhere near Wlad at his best, or that it was clear enough that peak Wlad wouldn't have been very likely to win.

    Fury's very good, but he's not THAT good.

    He'd be very clearly Fury's second best win.

    Fury's only fought one legit championship contender (Wlad) - Haye gets a lot of hate, but he's in that category... Wilder isn't.

    If Fury wins fairly decisively then yeah he gets in the top 10. Just.
