1. Obviously Wilder¸
2. Joshua
3. Hunter, because of hand speed
4. Usyk, because of skills
5. Helenius, because he is extremely heavy handed
That is how I see it. I wanna see Fury fighting those guys before he retires.
I am not really interested in Kownacki, Ortiz, Whyte, Povetkin, Parker and others, because I don`t see them as a threat.
Dubois and Joshua are the most dangerous. Big punchers who punch in combinations. Single shot punchers like Wilder are less of a threat.
Dubois is young. he doesn`t need that, not yet.
I believe Fury beats Dubois with experience.
Any durable heavyweight who can punch hard, is a threat to Tyson Fury 'Tyson Fury's defense is not as good as people suggest'. But out of the big 4 heavyweights? Fury does have the best punch resistance etc
David Price would still be a threat to Tyson Fury 'Quite simply because most of these top heavyweights are not massively durable'.
David Price was potentially moments away from beating Povetkin.
Usyk will probably be the biggest problem for Fury but that's only looking from a style wise angle. I think Fury is on record saying that the Cunningham fight was the hardest fight of his life too and cunningham was a natural cruiser like Usyk.
Usyk is 32 I think so it honestly just depends on what kind of condition Usyk will arrive in. No other HW throws combinations like Usyk or moves like him but just like the Cunningham fight if Fury lays on him and Usyk runs out of has game over.
If Fury and AJ decide to unify beforehand im also sure that Fury will take it so Usyk vs Fury for the undisputed championship? That's a fight id like to see.
Hrgovic? I rate him around the same level as wallin. maybe Hrgovic should beat somebody good to prove me wrong.
Hrgovic is just another stiff eastern euro robot. Fury would box circles around him.
AJ, Hrgovic and Usyk are the biggest threats ,though Usyk has a great size disadvantage there .
Wilder has shown he’s really not a threat to a on point Fury . And listing some odd fighters with no real evidence they prove much danger then a Whyte would in that style clash . You then have Joyce who would potentially bombard him and there’s a guy named Wallin who is clearly better then some of guys who can handle unorthodox fighters being a moving southpaw himself with size and very good people behind him .

Helenius stopped undefeated Kownacki and beat Chisora also.

Tough fights & dangerous fights are not the same thing. Ortiz wasn't finding it tough until he got caught & KO'd - nobody else comes close to being as dangerous as Wilder. You can outbox him the whole fight but if he's still in there he's still super dangerous.
Also, who gave Fury a tougher fight than Wilder in the first fight? He was literally unconscious on the canvas in the final round.
Ortiz is an old man. Lots of fighters are as dangerous as Wilder...against farmers. The rest of the top heavies actually have a decent resume, Wilder been outclassed by the only top heavyweight he fought.
Wallin gave Fury a better fight, he won more rounds. If he were unconscious the fight would be over. He got knocked down, like he has in numerous fights, he got up and won the fight.
Helenius? Wtf? Too5 risky for him for me are
Povetkin would be dangerous because of his skill and timing risk.
Wilder is similar to Povetkin but with less skill and more youth / speed.
Joshua for obvious reasons, he is an all rounder and can box aswell as hit hard.
Whyte, fury would be favourite but far from guaranteed.
Parker - Parker can box but less power - almost certainly would go the distance but fury would be favourite for sure.
Obviously not Wilder, Fury has had tougher fights than either of his 2 fights against Wilder.
It has to be Joshua, followed by the up and comers like Hrgovic

I've always thought AJ was all wrong for Wilder. To fight his fight he'll need to eat some shots from a heavy handed fighter on the way in and out. He was always comfortable coming in on Wilder. Wilder can't box, Joshua can.
Usyk would be interesting. He's got everything over Fury but size.
There are plenty of live opponents for Fury and he's looked poor plenty of times. I'd pick him him in any individual fight (maybe 50/50 with AJ) but not sure I'd back him to get through, say, 5 decent defences of the belt.

Aj is a threat. I would favor fury to stop him late but he won't have it all his own way.
If it goes to a decision you never know, aj has had some fairly wide scorecards in his favor
I would like to see how hrgovic develops , probably too basic for fury but he seems powerful.
Usyk also, looked the part at cruiserweight but obviously need to see him in with a few good big heavies

Boxing fans today: guy has a loss and suddenly he's no threat.
Fury can't do to Whyte what AP did.
Whyte still a legit threat.
Wilder, Joshua, and Ortiz because of their power.
I think Usyk, Hunter, and Povetkin are simply too small.
Helenius got KO'd by Washington, he is no threat
Dubois has to step up before I buy him as a real contender
Whyte is too basic, Pulev too old/small, Kownacki too basic, Parker doesn't have the heart or killer instinct
It is Wilder because of that Power is his most dangerous opponent in the Heavyweight Division! Even in the 3rd Fight Wilder is still very dangerous but I think Fury has his number
After that...EASY WORK! I think he gives AJ a boxing lesson he is way too slow and stiff for Fury that is a AWFUL stylistic match up for AJ but again it is the Heavyweight Division and AJ has power so of course he will have a Punchers Chance.
Usyk too little for Fury not only that but Fury is just as skilled and moved just as well if not better than Usyk so NO Usyk is not Out-Boxing Fury I don't see that happening.
Hunter too small as well
As for Helenius... :lol1: why the F^ck is he even on this List? :nonono:
Only Fury can stop Fury in this ERA IMO. Fury is the type of guy that can abruptly retire out of nowhere at anytime because he is just that unpredictable outside of the ring. If Fury is on top of his game he beats them ALL.
Wilder will always be the most dangerous for Fury because all it takes is one second for him to detonate his equalizer. One moment of Fury getting sloppy, one little mistake - Fury's gotta be on it for every second of every round which I don't think comes naturally to him. He's used to being able to play with opponents, because he's so big & has so much natural boxing ability. Also I think if Fury has one weakness it's stamina - he's going to tire down the stretch (especially with all his movement) & that gives Wilder more chance of landing that KO shot.
Everybody else on that list, Fury can make mistakes or start to get tired and get away with it. None of them come close to Wilder's one punch power - nobody does so he'll always be the most dangerous fight.
Dubois and Joshua are the most dangerous. Big punchers who punch in combinations. Single shot punchers like Wilder are less of a threat.
Agreed, I think Fury has figured out Wilder now despite having the freakish power I don't think its as problematic for him anymore.
I think when we get into the territory of a smaller boxer height wise that where you will start to see Fury struggle more, Povetkin could probably do some decent work on Fury. Would also like to see Ruiz get himself back on track, Fury has a history of being dropped by shorter fighters I'd like to see if history repeats itself when he fights higher calibre of those sorts of opponents.
Fury is just levels above everybody else, they all get schooled and/or KO'd.
For me, Wilder still has the best shot to beat Fury only due to his freakish power.
