    Yes Lewis has a deeper resume than Fury. Hey, I'm not going to argue otherwise. Why would I? But we know a man born from their mother can beat Lewis because we saw it happen twice and by violent KO whereas we know for a fact that no man born from their mother can defeat Tyson Fury.

    And we've also seen Fury rise from the dead both literally and figuratively. If Lewis blew up to 400lbs and went on the mother of all coke, booze and junk food binges whilst battling his mental demons and the demons of the establishment we'd never hear of him again let alone see him rise like a phoenix from the ashes and go onto to solidify himself as the GOAT by reclaiming the HW championship by defeating the most fearsome puncher in history on their own soil.

    And Tyson Fury would take Rahman and McCall to slick school in his sleep :facepalm:

    Name one win Holmes’s or either Klitschko has that’s better than Fury’s wins over Klitschko or Wilder.

    No way a crude puncher could be on the level of Wilder!

    You shouldn't put Mike too far up Lewis list because it was 2002 Tyson, who wasn't good at all.

    Lewis's record relative to Fury's is a lot like Wlad's: deeper in terms of B/C wins but fewer elite/dangerous opponents beaten, let alone in dominant fashion and KO'd by multiple fringe contenders. Unlike Fury and Wlad however, Lewis never fought a good southpaw, so that's a major gap in his record that Fury beating GOAT CW/HW southpaw Usyk would expose to an even greater degree.

    If being the smaller man is an excuse to discount someone from beating them then surely everyone Fury has beaten is unworthy given that he is comfortably larger than everyone else.
    I guess he has to drag valuev out of retirement for you to give fury any credit.

    Are we talking names or wins? Because Wlad was gunshy by the time Fury beat him.

    It’s not about a single win. It’s about the body of work in their resume.

    Holmes beat Smith, weaver, Mercer, snipes, Witherspoon, Cooney, shavers, Norton, Williams, Berbick. Basically the who’s who of the late 70s early 80s. Throw in shot to hell Ali as a name.

    Wlad beat Povetkin, Byrd, Ibragimov, Peter, Chagaev, Pulev, Haye, Rahman.

    We can agree to disagree.
