Two slicksters. Two world class boxers. Two defensive wizards. Two world class champions. One is recognized as the greatest to ever do it...the other contends that title.
Who wins this high level chess match between two ring gods?

dudes are saying that the Greatest Of All Time, 6'3" Ali... would have no chance... but 6'3" Usyk, will give Fury all he can handle
:rofl: :rofl:

Usyk stands the best chance, by Fury is on another level.

I think we agree Fury would beat Ali, but boxing hasn't advanced like other sports. Athletes can do more, but we have lost more boxing knowledge than we've gained over the years. Other sports are growing, you can't compare boxing to other sports that way. Fury may be the best ever, but the average fighter from the 80s, 70s, 60s, and even 50s would have no problem contending in the soft, low round, safety first, money first world that boxing is today. Back then there were no ducks or hiatus when it got thick.
:lol1: :lol1:
first... you say fighters are sooooo much better today, than in the past
then... you admit that we have lost more boxing knowledge than we have gained over the years
seriously, of all the fighters to sleep on LMAO
...
This all day ^^
The sport has moved on, would Bjorn Borg beat Federer at tennis? Would Carl Lewis beat Usain Bolt at 100m?

Fury.
Ali has never seen anything like it.
It's no fun when your opponent can jab you from halfway across the ring, no matter how many shuffles you do.
Jab you and then shuffle back, lol. Ali would be in the fight of his life.
The difference is Ali was in his prime, Fury was a novice who had been drinking the night before.
the difference is... Ali did not need anyone to make lame excuses for him ;)
of all the people to sleep on :lol1:

My dad swears Bobby Charlton would play Messi off the field lol.
Oddly though he's excellent at picking who will win a boxing match after just watching a couple of minutes of footage of both fighters.
All s*** compared to Georgie Best, at least that's what my grandad told me.
Fury by UD but Ali takes a career ending beating.
Sorry but Ali isn't beating a 6'9" 280lb man with the skills of Fury, just not happening.
I can see in 50 years he have heavyweight champions, 7 foot 5, 340lbs, athletic, quick, slick and people will still be saying Ali and Jack Dempsey would kick their asses, nostalgia is a powerful force

He did.....and then he got back up, and beat USS Cunningham from pillar to post. What point are you trying to make exactly?
Well if you listen with the intent to understand instead of just reply i would not need to explain. Fury getting dropped by Cunningham and i can throw in lesser men that has dropped FURY further proves anyone can be dropped in boxing. It happens and as you said its not the end of the world when that happens as you pointed out and AJ VS KLITSCHKO is another example of that
Fury size and style are a nightmare for any fighter. I honestly don't know what Heavyweight would beat him.
Bowe, pre-championship, would beat him easily. The bowe that beat Evander the first time stops him within 6 or 7. The bowe after winning the title got fat and lazy. That bowe threw combinations, was quick, and had a mean uppercut on the inside. Fury laying on him would be dangerous. The same with Lennox Lewis. That's how you stop someone from laying on you. Throw uppercuts on the inside while pivoting at angles. I'm amazed at how many trainers don't train their fighters for the clinch. If I were Fury, I'd keep doing the old Ruiz/Wladamir Jab'n'clinch routine. It's well within the rules
Ali was dropped and badly hurt by the midget Henry Cooper & nightclub bouncer Chuck Wepner ffs.
Fury went life-and-death with a nobody like McDermott and he got dropped by a nobody in Cunningham ffs
...

Fury is the greatest heavyweight of all time. He’s way to big for Ali. He’s too fast/skilled for everyone else. Lennox Lewis would have the best chance of beating Fury. No one else comes close.
Fury would break Lennox down and stop him late.
Fury. There is no way Ali could win. Would get mauled fighting on the inside, Fury's longer reach and equal ability and win the battle of the jabs, Ali does not hit anywhere near hard enough to get Fury out of there, whilst Fury would likely KO Ali, mid to late, and if not, it would be very wide on points. Nash out.
