    Morrison drew with Purity. Morrison had a bigger punchers chance against Lewis than Purity would but Lewis beat him with minimal difficulty anyway

    KRONK Fury is the H2H fantasy GOAT, a switch hitting, slick 6'9 270lb monster with KO power in both fists and a granite jaw.

    I think if we are being rational and reasonable then I think everybody is very beatable especially at Heavy.
    With that being said Lennox has a far better claim than Fury for the simple reason he actually fought pretty much everyone in a far deeper division.
    The myth perpetuated by some on here that Fury beats everybody because of size is nonsense. I think a few of the smaller faster guys would cause him huge problems. It's why there's some reticence in facing Usyk who does have greater skill. speed and gas tank to certainly comfortably outpoint Fury. Fury fought an old Vlad and a very limited Wilder who he arguably beat first time out....yeah the second fight was his best performance from an offensive perspective only to barely scrape through the last encounter.
    That's it though the rest of the resume is sickly weak against any of the ATG's.
    It just is...

    While I think he should have fought Byrd, that was a fight no one wanted. Byrd being a DK fighter would very likely require rights to Lewis if he won, as DK was known to do. AAANNNDD the networks still had a say in who they would air. Byrd was not someone they were willing to showcase.

    That doesn't mean anything. Triangle theory.

    This era is by far greater Than Lewis era.

    Fury. Joshua. Usyk. Klitschko. Povetkin. Wilder. Ruiz. Parker. Pulev. Ortiz. Whyte.Martin. All proven in championship fights during the last 5 years.

    I will not comment on the question, but the way the question was asked.
    I can put up a video of the Marciano vs. Louis fight, and ask, "Did this boxer really defend his title 25 times?".
    Or the fight where they see Larry Holmes beating Muhammad Ali, who has Parkinson's disease, and ask: "Is this boxer really the HW GOAT?".

    It also doesn't mean that Lewis would lose to people who are inferior to Rahman. Besides. Lewis was off his game when he lost. He beat everyone he fought. Did Klitschko ?

    He never beat a McCall who was there to fight. He couldn't even put a dent in him when he was crying with his arms down for two rounds.

    That wasn't Lewis's fault, but he still beat him.

    Rahman came to fight for the second bout and got clapped.

    Did Wladimir ever beat Sanders ?

    hilarious, especially when Fury has only fought the one who was forty and going through problems with the preggo gf and the one who hasn't a decent win to his name.

    nope, and Lewis never proved he was better than McCall or Rahman for that matter. 1-1 is a tie, not a win.
