    Great comment. Fury will be a big name on his resume. I hope Fury comes back just as good and the fight happens.

    Loool Haye who just lost to Bellew? Fury who weighs in excess of 320lbs?. He would need to beat Wilder, Ortiz and Parker to start. Then he would need to defend against whatever mandatory they put in front of him. Then he would need to beat the up and coming young guys if they make a name for themselves like Dubois, Dychko, hgrovic, Yoka, Joyce, etc.

    A 41 year old Vlad gets knocked out or beaten by all the top 70s HW. AJ almost lost to that version of Wlad, Fury is retired and Povetkin couldn’t even get Rudenko out of there lol, without the juice he’s just a plodder with no power.

    Wilder, Ortiz, Parker could not be called ATG.

    Haye unified the cruiserweight, and was a belt holder at heavyweight he could be called a ATG.

    Fury was lineal and could be called ATG.

    Usyk for same reason as Haye.

    No 41 year old Wlad walks through them all with ease, and Joshua beat him.

    You do realize a 39 year old Wlad couldn't walk through a 6'3, 225 lbs, featherfisted, inexpreienced Jennings, right? What's next, you're gonna tell us that Jennings would beat anyone from 70s also?

    He beat Jennings clearly, and was far better against Joshua. Like I said he walks through the 70s with ease, and Joshua beat him.

    Riiiiight. 41 year old Wlad who was coming off of 18 months and a loss was " far better" than the 39 year old one who was coming off of one of his best performances. Does beer taste the same in the parallel universe you live in?

    I don’t think this guy has done any research into past eras to support his claim. He says Haye is an ATG ffs.

    Yes the highly motivated Wlad that gave it all he has got was far better than the 39 year old that was just going through the motions during a garanteed win.

    Haye was cruserweight unified champion and won a belt at heavyweight.

    Ken Norton is a ATG without ever even winning a belt.
