    Not Fury's fault these arent in his era but Lewis cleaned up the divison with the exception of Bowe who avoided Lewis like the plague.

    Fury will need to beat at least several of the likes of AJ, Whyte, Usyk, Parker, Hunter, Ruiz and Povetkin to even have a remotely comparable resume to Lewis. At present Fury has only ever beaten 2 fighters who were at the time considered top 10 HWs.

    I think Fury has to beat Joshua then Whyte and retire, because Parker, Hunter, Ruiz, Usyk or Povetkin wouldn't beat Whyte or Joshua IMO, I know it would be good for Fury to have those names on his record, but I think Joshua and Whyte from now is good enough to rank Fury as an ATG

    Beating AJ and Whyte would make Fury an ATG and deservedly so if he is able to do so. Although I think Lewis will still have the strongest resume of the two in comparison.

    No matter who Fury beats, Lewis will still have the better resume unless he pulled Lewis's opponents out of retirement which won't happen

    That list isn`t any better than Ruiz, Ortiz, Wilder (when on form) AJ and Usyk, a few of those guys wouldn`t even be rated in the top 10 now.

    Lewis`s opposition wasn`t that good, Usyk whips them all.

    Fury guy, superbly skilled, hits harder than we thought, excellent heart and no quit, massive and would outsize Lennox.

    however Lennox when fully focused and prime was the ultimate no guy test. He would expose any fighters weakness.

    golota- heart, just go and bash him up he will panic.

    vitali- I’m old, can’t keep the pace. I’m down. So, Let’s get in his face and bash him up in a true no guy test.

    tua- jab like hell

    etc

    If fury beats AJ then il have fury favourite. Right now 60/40 lennox

    Many will favour Lewis in this match up but I can assure you that he's not ran into too many 270lb 6''9'' slick gypsies before who are as elusive as a mongoose and as light on their feet and can move around the ring like a 120lb ballerina. A fully motivated Fury is a problem for any man born from their mother and 100% one, which FTR we're never seen and likely never will, would be an insurmountable one.

    Wallin was no turnip he was a hungry, young undefeated lion who fought the likes of AJ x 2, Magomed Omarov, Yoka, Nistor, and Clark in the amateurs even though good sparring was hard to come by in his homeland Sweden.

    Fury is feather fisted and Lennox knows it. Lennox would go right at him and likely win a UD or grind Fury down for a stoppage.

    vitali was an arm puncher and gave Lennox trouble.

    Who did McCall ever ko? Oleg?

    Lennox is ultra cautious v elite fighters. He didn’t even want to throw against McCall 2.

    fury isn’t grant or golota.
