    Can I ask in what way you think Fury is not very good.

    I don't know where he ranks but hopefully those idiots on here who have called him "another Leon Spinks" have had a word with themselves now.

    Vitali Klitschko would have beaten both Wilder and Fury.

    There's not a ton of depth, but Chisora twice is an accomplishment I'd file under the good contender level win colunn

    I don’t think Chisora was actually in the top ten when either of those fights happened. He was for Vitali.

    Chisora isn’t highly regarded in the US.

    Yeah, you may be right on that. I can't recall if he'd snuck back into the bottom part of the top 10 by the rematch or not. I know he wasn't ranked the first time around but, oddly enough, he was a small favorite over Fury for that fight.

    Im certain that Riddick Bowe and Mike Tyson did, but the WBO wasn't a 'real' title at that point

    I think he's in the top 20 but not 15. and that's just because of all the great heavyweights. if he beats joshua you could argue top 10 but we'll see

    #1 Heavyweight (unless Deontay can KO clean in rubber-match, then they have to keep fighting)

    How far above other Heavyweights, really depends on Deontay Wilder career.

    Tyson Fury greatest win is Undefeated Deontay Wilder, then win vs Wlad (who lost to 5 others). An expected win vs Anthony Joshua also has less value mainly to the loss vs Andy Ruiz a solid boxer, but was a clear underdog.
