Is it safe to say that Fury is the best HW of this generation?

    Fury is not the best. He has the size advantage to anyone at this weight class. The guy is a giant heavyweight. He's 6' 9" 270 pounds. Did you watch last night fight? Fury didn't even flinch when he got hit by Wilder.

    Klitschko very much still had it and was in very good shape, it's just that Fury was too awkward and skilled and just bettered him.

    Wilder is very underrated from alot of people. His power, speed, chin and determination and his record speak for themselves.

    I think that the wins Fury has over Wlad and Wilder are very impressive and I like the fact that he went and fought them in their territory without hesitating.

    Bump. A win over Usyk will help solidify that claim. Even Shakur Stevenson calls Fury one of the greatest HWs of all time. That’s some high praise.

    He allowed it to get very muddy by not getting Joshua in the ring, which very easily could have been done by signing to fight Wilder III in early 2021 and getting Joshua mid year. He is a great talent but he has lost control of the narrative, and he doesn't really care.

    Is he the best of the post Wad Klitschko era - I think he can lay that claim. But it’s muddled. He can separate from the pack by beating the Joshua/Usyk winner.
