Tyson Fury's standing among all time British heavyweights

We don't have a deep pool of talent. Possibly top 5.

 

2nd behind Lewis but I don't think he's clearly proven he's better than AJ or even Dubois who is coming up now it would be nice to see Fury take on one of them.

 

Surprised triple weight division champion, Fitzsimmons hasn’t been mentioned!
His achievements, tops them all.

 

Well he's quite a clear second really. I don't think he's that close to Lewis, nor is the third best (probably AJ?) particularly close to him

 

Behind Lewis and Fitzsimmons. If they don't fight, then he's on a par with Joshua.

 

well said.
I agree with this too.

 

At present, with just the two losses to Usyk, in the modern era you have to rank him behind Lewis but ahead of everyone else.

That could obviously change if he carries on, especially if we get the Brook v Khan-type matchup with Joshua and he gets blasted out, which is a distinct possibility, given the losses to Usyk and the fact Ngannou managed to catch him.

Although Dubois, given how he made light work of and knocked Joshua out, is arguably now above Joshua in the British standings, as is Bruno.

One thing is certain, though, and that is that he's not the fighter he once was, that his legs are gone. Therefore, if you have power, get past six rounds with him and have enough in the tank, you could potentially take him out.

I would much prefer to see him end his career taking on Dubois than Joshua, but there are millions (£) of reasons why that is not likely to happen.

Fury has never lived the life of an athlete outside of the ring, is now surrounded by yes-men, and has vastly overachieved during his comeback, which peaked with the Wilder trilogy and selling out Wembley against Whyte.

Yet he has underachieved overall, considering how easily he dismantled Klitschko in Germany, that Fury would have handled Usyk quite comfortably, IMO.

 

The guy who lost to John McDermott?
