    My list is in order of percentage chance to win...( rough draft subject to change)

    As you can see, I have VK listed as a 80% chance to win, Bowe is at 50% and Valuev is at a cheeky
    01%....I wanted to keep the list to 10 or less.

    Louis (IMO ) has only about a 20% chance to win. He stands just tall enough to get to Fury , and is a good counter puncher. He can throw combinations quickly and with power. I give him a 20% chance because he COULD catch Fury ( any boxer really) with great timed counter combinations and be able to finish Fury off after if he gets him reeling and in trouble. I did NOT make him a favorite.

    Lennox destroys him. Imo, young foreman would be a nightmare matchup for him

    it is no way Louis could combo fury when fury moves way better then anybody Louis fought watch Louis matches you wont see anybody close

    Louis needs to move way better and have better defense to avoid which he didnt have your just picking a name just cause he was great in his era while not looking at the advances in the era we got now let alone 90s

    see here look at max one of the top guys Louis fought look how he moves and louis look at how stiff and slow they move while being basic in upper and lower body movement

    now fury
    This content is protected
    see how he can switch positions quick after punching
    defense while moving lateral
    defense while punching with 1 arm smoothly
    look at the footwork
    and every other advances in his movement
    so it is no way you should have said Louis he would be outmatched in every area except smoother punch tech which he wouldnt get to use

    fury would never stuggle with max who moved like a rookie he would be ended and fast

    If a bad boxer like deontay could get fury in trouble, wouldn't you say a similar power puncher like lewis with good fundementals would do better?
    If this was louis, lennox, or young foreman, it could've been good night

    fury heart is great wouldnt you say deontay fav punch dropped him more then once and fury got up every time I would say fury heart is tougher then George cause remember when ron put George down he stuggled each time to get up
    ron punches wasnt as close to the power as that punch from deontay

    Ruddock didn`t move like Fury did v Wlad and he didn`t have the head movement that Fury used in that figt either, Fury would have used his height and reach to easily beat Ruddock, Wilder would have knocked Ruddock out too.

    I honestly don't think that I can answer the question until we see Fury vs Uysk. As much as I admire the heart of Wilder, I don't think much of him as a boxer , yet he was able to floor Fury four times in three bouts. Cunningham also was able to drop Fury hard in the 2nd round of their fight.

    He is certainly beatable like any man and I have a feeling that Uysk has the skillset to beat him cleanly as would pure outside boxers like Ali and Holmes. Hopefully we get to see for ourselves soon.

    To be honest, I think there are quite a few, prime vs prime, who could have beaten Fury. I'll start with the Lineal Champion right before Fury, Wladimir Klitschko, in his prime, to get the decision win over Fury.

    I do not think last Saturday"s fight was a good representation of Fury's ability if we are to match him with past all time greats.
    I thought he performed brilliantly in the sense of digging deep and showing heart and grit and determination to get the KO but that was not the best Fury we have seen, not by a long shot. He was not in ideal condition and was rusty and did not use much of his defensive skill at all. He had been out for 20 months and it showed.
    The 2nd Wilder fight was much better.

    why did you say this but this year acted like you cant see razor beating louis when razor moved better then everybody Louis fought then said how louis could beat George when he couldnt

    did you think the past was deleted or you forgot
