Tyson Fury had just done the unthinkable. Put an end to Wladimir's 10 year reign as Heavy weight Champion. He is truly the best of this generation. Only one question remains, is he greater than The Greatest?
Well lets see.
Record
Muhammad Ali - 56 wins 5 losses (92% win rate)
Tyson Fury - 25 wins 0 losses (100% win rate)
Tyson has a better record
Resume
Muhammad Ali - George Foreman, Earnie Shavers, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton
Tyson Fury - Wladimir Klitschko, Dereck Chisora, Christian Hammer (rank 23 in world by Boxrec), Steve Cunningham (IBF Cruiserweight champion)
Slight edge to Muhammad Ali. Tyson is still young though and can easily improve his resume so that it is better than Ali's
Belts
Muhammad Ali - three time lineal heavyweight champion
Tyson Fury - WBA (super), IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring unified heavyweight champion
A tie in my opinion
Knockout ratio
Muhammad Ali - 56 wins 37 KO = 66% ko
Tyson Fury - 25 wins 18 KO = 72% ko
Right now, Tyson Fury already has a slight edge, with a better win and knockout ratio, and as his career progresses, he can easily have the better resume and championship belts. So, will Muhammad Ali have to change his nickname to The Second Greatest?
