    Out classes? don't be silly. Wlad was a robot who only used 1-2 and occasionally hooked. He never had Fury's overall skills and it showed when they fought.

    None of the big 3 are as good as Wlad. Who made 25 title fights. That’s why there’s interest in division again.

    Fury BEATS EVERYONE Wlad, Wlad and Lennox beat

    They are BIG STIFF IDIOTS compared to Fury

    Fury IS THE FIRST superheavyweight with such physical ability to move like he does

    All three of the men mentioned only have a punchers chance against Fury, which is less than no chance.

    Yeah he beat Wilder, and a declining version of Wlad, still not enough for him to be compared to past great heavyweights though. He needs to have more wins against top fighters under his belt. In five more years we could definitely draw a comparison between him and past great fighters.

    I'll withhold judgement until Fury has beaten his first top ten contender.

    Klitschko, Wilder. Two reigning champions, he beat one with a 3 year hiatus and after he abused his body with drugs and alcohol.

    Now again, Vitali's and Wlad's biggest wins please?

    prove to be the best, but is yet to prove he is the best in past 20 years.
    Until he has fought a lot more often and against ranked opponents he is not

    His last meaningful fight ended in a draw and featured him losing consciousness.

    **** me big John Mcdermott gets better by the day, he absolutely schooled fury a few years back but got robbed in one of the worst decisions in British boxing history. If anyone doubts this fury knocked Mcdermott out in the rematch that only happened because fury knew he didn't win the first fight.

    Against the Klitschkos at there best its a very competitive fight. I'd pick Lewis to eventually catch him and knock him out wouldn't be an easy fight though.

    Simpel to answer:

    Vitali -> "Sniper" Sanders
    Wladimir -> Haye, Byrd or Povetkin

    Period.

    So David Haye, Chris Byrd and Povetkin beat 2015 Wlad and 2018 Wilder?

    Sanders was a big puncher, like Wilder, but Wilder has obviously been much more successful.
