    Of those names only Usyk and AJ would bolster it some. Joyce needs to do more before a win over him raises one's profile. Same w/ Helenius. Beating Parker would be a decent win for him.

    You're dishonest and you don't support your claims so there's no point replying to them.

    "Price beat him 3x in the amateurs, including retiring him"

    Link proof.

    Fury is not an especially literate man.

    I didn't think I needed to support the notion that Holyfield and Lewis are great? Do you think they aren't great?

    Nor did I think I needed to support the idea that Fury has got 4 good names on his resume. Do you not rate those victories?

    You are the first person in recorded history to suggest Chisora is Vitalis best victory, but I quickly corrected you on that one.

    As for why I rank Fury alongside Bowe and Vitali, it's because all 3 share the notion that their is quality beyond the resume. All 3 share the notion that head 2 head they'd be very difficult to bear. All 3 share a relatively thin resume in comparison to past greats. Vitali and Fury also have great comebacks in common, Bowe has the victory over a peak Holyfield.

    Bowe lost to Holyfield, and was battered by Golota when past prime. Vitali lost to Lewis and suffered an injury vs Byrd in a fight he was winning. Fury has never officially lost, but he should never have gotten the decision over McDermott, although he soundly beat him next time out.

    Not only have you been dishonest, you've also shown an incredible lack of appreciation about boxing history. We're talking about a percentile difference so small you have to go into very tiny decimals.

    Fury, right now, is about the Bowe/Vitali mark. Maybe he'll improve on that, who knows, he's just retired again.

    Fury haters such as yourself are hilarious.

    I've paid to watch him fight, unlike you.

    I've stood in front of him and shook his hand, unlike you.

    I've watched him live, unlike you.

    I've followed his career since his debut, unlike you.

    I've won money betting on him, unlike you.

    I'm not delusional about his goat status, unlike you.

    More unsupported assertions.

    I don't need to support any of them since they're all facts.

    You pretend you like Fury but you'll never pay to watch him fight, you'll never travel to watch him live, you'll never shake his hand, and you'll never be able to turn back time and follow him from his debut.

    You're a typical band wagoner.

    "I don't need to support my speculative claims because they're all facts." - lufcrazy

    In your delusional mind maybe. You've got no intellectual integrity.

    This isn't about intellect or integrity.

    You haven't been to his fights, you haven't paid for a PPV, you haven't shaken his hand and you didn't watch his debut.

    Shame on you.

    Your standard of argument is pathetic. You think making an unsupported claim (such as "you've never met Fury" or "you've never made money on his fights") means something. You are a waste of time.

    But this is where you're, yet again, wrong. You said I'm a hater, I've pointed out that I've done more to support Fury than you ever will.

    I know that upsets you, which given your age isn't that surprising, but don't take it personally.

    I think they only fought once

    Not a lot of people know this but Fury is actually responsible for ruining Price's chin. Prior to getting dropped by him Price was known for having a titanium chin

    Lots of ''Fury took his defeat like a man'' replies in the comments

    Apologies. I meant Fury survived Price's power not bested him, meaning that even as fearsome a puncher as Price couldn't knock him out.

    If Wlad, The Dosser (who had three attempts), and Price can't knock you out then no man born from their mother can
