If Tyson Fury beat the winner of the Anthony Joshua vs the Oleksandr Usyk rematch would he surpass Lennox Lewis in the all time great heavyweight ranks ?
A lot of Lewis's opposition is ridiculously overrated. He also bored people to tears. He was sparked by two mediocre opponents. Fury is certainly better than Lewis. It's laughable to suggest otherwise.
yes. i belief if he win with Usyk he = surpass Lennox Lewis. i do not belief him & Lennox = "" top 10 ' all of time heavyweights. no. this is overrate
If he beat Usyk or AJ winner he would certainly go up in my opinion and be a top 10 HW og time (same if the Usyk and AJ winner beat Fury). However Lewis is one the top 2 greatest HWs of all time in opinion. Comparing notable win Fury AJ vs Usyk winner (in this scenario for instance but I don't think he doea) Wlad Whyte Chisora x 2 Wilder x 3 Compared to Lewis Hollyfield x 2 Tyson Vitalli Tua Mercer Golota Morrison Bruno Briggs Rahman Grant Akinwade There's a big difference in quality of depth between the two records. Lewis would still be way clear of Fury even if he somehow he beat the Usyk vs AJ winner.
No way, Fury is more like riddick bowe currently. It would take a lot of work to surpass lennox lewis who has a vast resume. If AJ beats Usyk and Fury andvreigns for a few more years he would possibke sccomplish it since he has more names on his resume.
37 year old Holyfield Old Tyson, actually, in 2002. Controversial decision vs Mercer Golota won a lawsuit showing he was poisoned vs Lennox KOd by Rahman Also KOd by McCall, never truly avenged this one for reasons outside of his control Fury isn't as great but Lennox's resume/dominance is probably the most overrated in history. If you look past name value and the actual fighters he fought and beat without controversy, you get Vitali, Tua, Bruno, Briggs, Rahman and Grant. It's unfair to write Holyfield off completely, but he was definitely past his best at that point.
Holyfield is the top achievement & is of almost 10 years passed the peak. Tyson is passed by likelihood of 15 years & no longer good boxer most other names of here = not outstanding. very much of the ordinary as boxers. mediocres. averages boxers.
Hollyfield might be 37 but he was still top quality. Tyson was old but still quality as he proved by beating Bruno on his return. Mercer wasn't controversial, close but not controversial. I had Lewis winning by 2 points. Avaneged Rahman by KOing him. Mccall I agree with due to Mccall mental health in the second fight hence why I'd didnt mention his name on the list. Even with just the names your counting in Vitali, Tua, Bruno, Briggs, Rahman and Grant is still very impressive list of names which is still better than Furys record at present.
