      He knows he full of it. He just doesn't realize everyone else knows it too.

        If Fury takes down Usyk, AJ, and Ruiz he may be remembered as an ATG, but still not a Top Ten.

        It all ends now he doesn't even belong in the HOF. This has been almost all one fight (Wilder) and nothing more than media coverage of odd behavior.

        Oh! The Wald fight not only came at the end but was a snoozer.

            I think we would have to wait and see how the rest of their careers play out to even give him that. AJ has fallen off in a bad way as far as his name being used to enhance a resume. Ruiz is one cupcake away from his old self and Usyk, besides the two wins over Joshua has a very thin resume at heavyweight. Now if Fury beats them and they all stay in the top 10 beating other top 10 fighters while gunning to avenge their losses...then I believe arguments can be made in Tysons favor.

            For me, I'm big on either beating all available top ten fighters or having a strong era of top ten fighter who fight one another. That's the reason (at least in my opinion) the 70's was the golden era of heavyweights. Its also the reason i dont rate a guy the Vitaly Klitschko as an ATG. Sure he won, but he missed a ton of top ten guys, and the ones he did beat were hardly ever heard of agin in top ten conversations. Wlad on the other hand...while i dont think his comp was particularly good, cleaned out the division pretty well and had a long reign.

                I don't see him going down as an ATG. For one thing, there aren't any other great fighters for him to defeat or even compete against. At a minimum he needs to fight and defeat Usyk while becoming undisputed just to be in the conversation. At present, he is not.

                  - - Ring Title record of 6 years champ, two back to back defenses vs Deyonce with one steroid suspension, ie 3-0 Ring title record.

                  Compare to Big Dummy, HOFer, 1 year Ring champ, 3-1 Ring record.

                    Snoozer or not it was Fury who ended the Klitschko era. Not Joshua.

                      Lmao....I love how you like to throw Fury under the bus for one failed steroid test, but give passes to Canelo and Vitaly. Let me let you in on a little secret. Most world class athletes have used PED's in one form or another at some time during their careers. Some get caught, some dont.
