    what I am saying is that Fury will have accomplished enough that it would be a top 5 all time heavyweight (who would be a test for anyone of any era,ali was tiny af compared to him, Foreman was slow but would be among the few I'd pick to beat Fury)

    He has technically unified hw by winning all 4 belts,& if he kos AJ as I expect he'll be completely unified Undefeated heavyweight champ that is miles above everyone & has no peers(& contrary to whats claimed,this era has very difficult fighters that can hang with other eras,because these hws are enormous & have the best conditioning & nutrition.
    Rather than argue I'm just going to give you another reason to like Fury over the past:

    Much can be said about the global reach of boxing today vs the past eras. There's never been a more global world champion before the contemporary world champions. Well, outside of like the last generation! Floyd and Pac are truly global. I'm not sure the same should be said about Lamotta and Robinson. Likewise, the HWs are in the same boat.

        This is a valid point, and someone also mentioned that most of Fury's rise was against British competiton, as compared to Tyson, who never beat a fellow great, but had "thick" solid competition coming up to unify the titles.

        Marchigiano also made the point that Wilder is an unknown in so far as evaluating his greatness... Will he be considered a great opponent down the line? or more like a great puncher who was feared, but dealt with in the ring. Obviously evaluating Wilder affects how we see Fury.

        I interpret Kush King's challenge as asking "Is there a path for Fury to prove greatness?" I believe there is a path... Only time will tell
