    Right now this second it's razor close for the obvious arguments.

    However if Fury beats AJ and Usyk the argument is long over.

    Where were Coetzer, Dokes, Tubbs and Biggs rated when Bowe beat them? Biggs, Dokes and Tubbs were all in their 30`s when Bowe beat them and all light punchers.

    IMO Bowe should rank higher, and honestly he did most of his best work before he won the title. That's when he was an animal. He won the title and immediately regressed, almost the exact opposite of what most guys do after they win a title.

    lots of people not rate Bowe
    but if Bowe was not good
    then what does it say about Holyfield?
    & Lewis is rated so high but he did not do better with more mileaged Holyfield?
    if 1990 decade was good Bowe was good

    at this point probable Bowe & Fury equal level

    Fury. Bowe has the better set of wins but he got his arse handed to him by Golota. He also fought in a great era but avoided most of them..

    40 year old men don't count for anybody.

    Also that list doesn't look even.

    Fury has the better resume. Bowe really has nothing other than the Holy fights, such a frustrating career considering the era. It's not all about the single best win, otherwise guys like Rahman and Norton would outrank both.

    Bowe got hit far more by Holy than Lewis and Holy floored Bowe too.

    The pressers would be great. Doubt bowe would fight him though.

    I don't count 40 year olds for my favorite fighter, I'm not going to count 40 year olds for Fury
