    The only fighters I feel certain would whip Fury are Clay, Lewis and Foreman. Clay always found a way when young or middle aged as a boxer. Of course Wilder and Joshua would have almost no chance against Clay. Lewis has an excellent chance against the Gypsy. Holmes has an even chance. Joe Louis has a chance if he can land, but he also might get played with. Dempsey always has a chance against anyone. Older Klit might be able to do it. I don't believe in younger Klit, never did. Marciano has a small chance. Even Tunney could possibly steal it with foot speed and land enough for a decision. Let's not forget Usyk, who has a good chance. Liston is apt to KO the gypsy. I know many will include young Klit. Frazier might do it with body punches. Possibly Johnson, who hit pretty hard. The medicine bag of skills prime Tyson had could beat anyone on a given night. Holyfield with that heart and stamina might do it as well. And finally, yes Sam Langford, one of the premier body punchers, who they say hit as hard or harder thay full flrdged heavyweights.

    Let's not forget contenders who were never champions. Ray Mercer with that chin could do it perhaps. Ike the president has a chance, but he is a bigger question mark than Fury. Morrison had enough lefhook to possibly pull off a surprise.

    I only come up with 16 I feel would have a chance against the gypsy.

    Probably not all those guys listed are going to beat him, so yes, Fury is probably in the AT top 10 of heavyweights, or very close to it, as of right now on a who beats whom basis, though if he takes one drubbing before his career ends, he will be back to being a nobody who used to be champion.

        And of course you could not actually say who would beat him, but would rather troll and say everyone.

          The Kronk-trained Tyson Fury seems like a significantly upgraded version of the Fury that fought Wallin.
          - - Thanks for affirming Blubber ducked a legally contracted fight of a guy he beat before.

          Worst Ring title defense record in history, 6 years, 1 drug suspension, 2 defenses...only in Ring, folks!

            Greatest in the WBC universe he fought in, the best he could do wif his little buddy Deyonce fighting each other for peanuts.
            Does AJ really raise the bar for anyone when considering all time greatness? The jury is still out on Usyk. Beating AJ twice hardly makes an ATG.

                  Joshua has lost 3 out of his last 5 fights.

                  He's a real world beater.

                    AJ already won the war and has the best heavy record until Usyk beat him, but Usyk just barely beat him...yer welcome...

                      U taking beatings hardly makes U an expert. Andy in his ill fated American debut exposed a half dozen fainting goat contenders and fake champs without raising a hand.

                      AJ wins wars, not just titles...yer welcome...
