    Hmmm....."in boxing history". Fury doesn't look very sharp. I think he would lose to a lot of fighters when it comes to boxing history. Mike Tyson was a student of boxing. He would hands down beat Fury in boxing history. I think Lewis is pretty good in his boxing history. Vitali is a PHD no? So he to would be decent in boxing history.

    We know that he can't be defeated by power because he's 4-0 or should be against two of the hardest punching KO artists the HW division has ever seen in Wlad and The Tuscaloser and he beat them both in their backyards.

    And he has stamina for days so highly unlikely anyone is going to be able to outwork him.

    So that just leaves slickness. How is anyone going to outslick a 6'9'' 270 pound iron-jawed gypsy who has stamina for days, Lazarus like levels of recovery, and even if you so happen to be one of the top 3 hardest punchers in HW history and are somehow able to drop him how are you going to be able to keep him down and who's Slickness is off the charts?

    I love Tyson Fury's namesake Iron Michael Tyson and consider him a force of nature, but let's be honest here he's a bloody toad compared to a giant like Fury and that size and slickness of Fury's would just be too much for him to overcome. That fight would look a carbon copy of the Chisora rematch.

    Marciano, Smoking Joe, Johnson and Dempsey are way too small.

    Nobody is out jabbing Fury with that orangutan which has been stretched on The Rack 85" reach of his so that rules out Holmes.

    Foreman the walking mummy is way too slow and gets taken to slick school with ease.

    So who does that leave?

    Ali as great as he was isn't a southpaw and he never fought anyone of Fury's gargantuan dimensions let alone someone as slick, clever, awkward and tough and fit as Fury and Gypsy Slickness sits much higher on the Slickness Scale than American Slickness so that rules him out too.

    The only one who can defeat him is Usyk because not only can he match him for skill, fitness and toughness but he's a southpaw and his brand of Cossack Slickness is even more potent than Fury's.

    Everyone on their best days I would favour Lennox, Vitali, Wlad and Bowe over him.
