Out of those AJ is the only one who has a chance. That depends on which AJ and which Fury comes to fight.
A punchers chance. AJ does nothing better than Fury and there is nothing that suggests his chin is better, same goes for gas tank.
Flip hyrgovic destroyer of Deontay wilder in sparring is one to look out for.
Further down line Ivan dychko
Good post.
Both show areas of promise, and the division just getting deeper and hotter is only a good thing.
If you could point to where I said he wasn't good, i'd understand your point. It's you who has assumed that because somebody is unknown, they aren't good. However let's explore the point anyway. What's that expression of steel sharpening steel? Boxers become the best version of themselves, fighting and learning from the very best. Otto Wallin hadn't fought anybody, of any note and was entirely unknown because of it. It's very likely that he's now a better boxer, having shared the ring with Fury.
So my point was that if somebody unknown and untested can cut up and take rounds from Fury, any good heavyweight on the right night can beat him. The dude I quoted said he was unbeatable in this era. I disagree. (I don't think any of the current crop of HW's are unbeatable)
"If an absolute unknown HW in Otto Wallin can take serious rounds from Tyson Fury..."
Do you disagree that this gives the impression that you are implying that because Wallin wasn't "known", that he shouldn't be good enough to make a fight interesting, competitive, dirty, rough, etc? That's what I took from that statement. Personally, I'm of the opinion that there isn't a correlation with popularity and skill, and that whether you are a known fighter or not, doesn't necessarily have a bearing on your skillset, abilities, or experience.
Why do you make this baseless assumption, that because someone is unknown, they aren't good?

If an absolute unknown HW in Otto Wallin can take serious rounds from Fury, any competent boxer with power can beat him on the right night.
Uysk would be my first choice then somebody who can apply smart pressure like Dubois. AJ and Wilder obviously have a chance to knock him out too.

Wilder was getting beat by Ortiz, Washington and a few others before bailing himself out with the right hand. He was a very flawed champion who ran from any and all big challenges through the years. His time was limited. And Fury was on steroids when he fought Klitschko, which is part of the reason he was never going to rematch him. Because he got caught on nandrolone. Again, fighting Sefari, Swcharz, Wallin and Pianette doesn't make you #1, or at least it shouldn't.
Man, I would pick Wilder to beat every heavyweight not named Tyson Fury. Joshua fight is 50 -50.
Yes, everybody is outboxing him before he is put to sleep.
Yeah it's funny how Wilder is kind of a massive threat to anyone and any style, and even for Fury-Wilder 3, you can't rule him out.
Whilst he's limited and can be outboxed, unless you can stay focussed for 12 rounds, or press the gas and stop him without making any mistakes – then he's a nightmare to go up against.
I genuinely think Wilder stops AJ most times they fight, even though AJ has so much more to his game. Same goes for Wlad if they fought.
If heavyweight boxers boxers could choose anyone from the top 3 to fight, I doubt they'd choose Wilder (apart from Whyte!).
Wilder is still the #2 HW, just because he lost to the #1 doesn't automatically make him rubbish.
I'd bet big money on him putting AJ to sleep.
Stylistically Wilder actually probably posed the biggest threat, because hes 6'7 and has massive one punch KO power that carries through the whole 12 rounds. At any point he can potentially land a hail Mary on someone.

Wallin won 2 rounds against an unmotivated Fury who was fighting with one eye.
What exactly has Dubois done thus far in his career that suggests he can beat Tyson Fury?
Fury boxes his head off.
I don't think anybody fighting today can beat Fury. I thought maybe Whyte or Ruiz in top shape might have the best chance to beat him but I remembered AJ just easily beat Ruiz in the rematch and has a KO win over Whyte so I reluctantly gave AJ my vote. AJ has the power and skills to give Fury some trouble if he is mentally focused and determine to win and never give up.

Tell that to Anthony Joshua (who I'd also pick to beat fury bty).
Mate, Fury is much better boxer than Anthony Joshua.
Fury would deal with Ruiz like he did against Hammer, Chisora and other small guys.
I think a lot of guys can beat Fury, which is why Fury won't fight a lot of top guys. He has never defended a belt and he hasn't fought most of the top 30 in the world right now. He is the most unproven champion in a long time yet you all think he is somehow unbeatable. Which is laughable. AJ has faced most of the top contenders and the ones he didn't, they turned down career offers from him. Fury has 2 good fights on his entire resume haha. Yet again, you all think he is the top guy, after beating Sefari, Pianeta, Wallin and Schwarz. Pathetic
No, I think he is top guy because he beat Klitschko and Wilder. Who ever beat Wilder before Fury did?
Right now Anthony Joshua.
Wilder was a good match up for Fury, a fighter who has novice boxing skills? Come on, if you cannot box you are as good as beaten vs Tyson Fury. Joshua can box, he can punch and he has variation to his style 'That is why he is a bigger challenge for Tyson Fury'.
