    Its incredible that the winner of Joshua/Parker will have the belts Tyson Fury won back together again in such short time.
    The belts Wladimir Klitschko won and unified.
    WBA IBF and WBO.
    The winner will be in a very good position.

    Now if Tyson Fury were to come back and beat the winner of Joshua/Parker and beat Wilder, would you rate Fury above L Lewis in the ATG HW ratings?
    Fury would have beaten W Klitschko, (Joshua/Parker) winner and Wilder

    Instead of Tyson Fury, what Mike TYSON comes back and beat the winner and then beat Wilder, will he then be the best heavyweight ever?!!

    Instead of Mike Tyson, what if Ali RAYMI resurrects all bulked up and roid-rages his way to undisputed heavyweight glory?!!

    Who gives a damn about Fury?
    The what ifs games with Fury have run its course.

    Just give credit to AJ and Parker, the winner of this fight will do something Fury has never done, beat a HW champion in his prime.

    Think there is more chance of Tyson Fury coming back rather than Mike Tyson

    All credit to them. Never said otherwise to that.
    Still if Joshua were to clearly beat Parker which I think is likely it wouldnt make it a better win than Joshuas over wlad which Fury already had.
    Joshua has already beaten a prime HW champ for the record.

    Now back to fury. His career is full of what ifs. I was one of the few who picked him to clearly beat Wlad on points.
    Now if Fury were to beat the Joshua/Parker winner and beat Wilder, as well as having the Wlad win, do you think he would be rated above Lewis in British ATG HWs?

    Martin? Uh yeah I guess :risas3::risas3:

    If Fury beat those guys you listed I would rate him higher than LL yes, but that's a long stretch. This guy's career clearly took a big dive and getting back ain't easy.

    With both Fury and Wlad out of the way l am not that surprised somebody has been able to quickly collect the belts.

    You're getting unfair flack. This is a good hypothetical, and I can actually see it happening.

    To answer your question, it's tough. Fury will have clearly established himself as an atg, but with the weirdest atg HW career in history. I could see him beating AJ Parker winner and Wilder Ortiz winner, and then retiring having unified the belts. He does that, you could make an argument he's GOAT, and an equally good argument that he's outside of the top ten. It would be bizarre, and I'm actually kind of hoping it happens.

    Lol, it’s equal of a chance that they do come back and win anything important.

    I did this thread because I felt it could be a possibility.
    Before Fury disappeared I would have favoured him over Wilder and Joshua. Who knows how he will be if he comes back but he is still young enough
