    We saw Fury go up 3 times against one of the hardest hitters ever in Deontay Wilder and not stay down.

    What boxer in history do you think would have had the best chance of keeping Fury glued to the canvas past 10?

    Lewis, the rest are not big enough.

    Fury beats Mike Tyson as well imo.

    The big arcing right hand seems to be his weakness due to his low lead hand. Probably Lewis he has the arcing right hand and the reach and power. Lewis was also a good finisher unlike Wilder so even if Fury gets up, Lewis can close the show.

    You massively underestimate how undersized LL is compared to Fury

    I've actually just seen that lewis is 6 ft 5 in, thats a bit of a gap in height agreed.

    The best chance? Probably Lewis
    But there are a number of boxers in history who I would favor over him and with a good chance of stopping him.

    Lewis I'd definitely pick by KO though.

    Vitali was the same size

    George Foreman had no problem with Fury sized Gerry Cooney.....

    Height wise yes, 4 inches is a lot at heavyweight but Lewis had a stupidly long reach even for his height. Only one inch less than Fury's I believe. So while Fury maybe the bigger man Lewis wouldn't have the same issues as many similar sized heavies due to that larger and normal reach. Combine Lewis' faster hands and I think Lewis has the best chance of anyone to KO Fury.

    Let's wait him beat AJ and Usyk and then talk about ATG status and h2h battles. Too early.
