    Just for a second ignore the fantasy stuff. Fury doesn't get a win for Whyte pulling out against Wallin, he doesn't get one for Wilder and Joshua not fighting. Just stick with who he's beaten.

    He actually got credible wins against:

    Klitschko - very credible win
    Wilder - quite credible win based on Wilder's on resume
    Chisora - gatekeeper type win

    Everything below that really isn't in the conversation.

    It's not great is it?

      very too heavy resume. Built on Wlad win tbh
      Between Cunningham and Chisora there are a total of 20 losses. Klitschko was 39. and Wallin's claim to fame is going 12 bloody rounds with Fury. notice Fury has not fought AJ, Whyte, Pulev, Povetkin from few years ago, Klitschko rematch, Haye (when he was good), Parker, Ortiz, Ruiz. Hell, he hasn't even fought guys like Charles Martin or Helenius, Kownacki, Takam or even Breazeale. He has skipped over almost all of the better heavyweights throughout his entire career.

        He only has 32 fights.

        Now answer mine.
        I already did. Go back into the comments. Also, you just named 4, not 5. Hard to come up with 5 good names on his resume isn't it?

          Fury's resume is actually much better than Lennox Lewis', and people don't give him stick over it. He beat Vitali, and Holyfield. Tyson was barely top 20 when Lewis beat him, let's be honest. It's popular to hate on top level modern fighters for some reason, yet wax lyrical over olden-day guys who lost 20 fights. It's okay saying what does Fury beating Wilder over and over prove? Well it seemed to be okay for Ray Robinson to fight and beat Jake LaMotta every other week. And Fury kept rising to the challenge of Wilder and winning, and adapting, unlike Ali, who's 3 stabs at Norton saw no improvement, and we all know, that with fair judging and no Ali bias, that Norton would have been the victor 3x, and not once.

          Just like this week, the boxer Cruz ends up being a really good boxer, as sometimes these little known Mexicans prove to be, so Mr. Tank gets a ton of stick for a great win, instead of praise, but I guess it's easier to hate on people when it fits someones agenda. Fury brings a lot of hate because he backs up everything he says and some people hate that he pulls it off, and is not a loser like they probably are. Nash is an unbeaten warrior, yet he respects the likes of Fury and Mr. Tank, some of you other guys need to let the jealousy go and respect these Kings. Nash out.

            What is exactly Klitschko prime ? He’s lost a few fights at every stage of his career . I know however looking at Wlad he was very difficult to defeat going into the AJ fight , against Fury ? Easy to see Klitschko didn’t go into that with much enthusiasm ,beating him twice in a row is entirely different story ,it’s a hard truth most on the forum doesn’t want to hear . I myself I’d have Klitschko winning the rematch against Fury ,I believe the Wilder fights shows us many things Wlad would take advantage of .

              And Mercer, Morrison, Tua, Bruno, Rahman, Grant, Briggs, Golota, Ruddock, Tucker...

              All would sit comfortably in Fury's 'best' list.

              In fact, Lewis' Gary Mason win is probably equivalent to Fury's Chisora win. You're a long way down Lewis' resume to get there.

              Plus, you know, unifying, defending, fighting mandatories and all that other stuff that Fury has decided aren't important.

                Now look who is your guy Hrgovic fighting, lol.
                Hrgovic is fighting in a title elimination bout early next year in his 15th fight .Fury was fighting for random common wealth titles at that stage you’ll have to troll better then that.

                  A Mike Tyson in early 2000”s is still more formidable then Wilder or any opponent Fury defeated including a non motivated Klitschko .

                  Lewis has multiple title defenses that’s all there is to it ,Fury has no actual credible ones . When the questions come up who has better or even multiple titles defended ,Fury is absent from that conversation right now if all time greats come up he’s not ranked over Lewis .

                    11-2 for both fights

                      Lewis beat Evander Holyfield, David Tua, Vitali Klitschko, Razor Ruddock, Tommy Morrison, Ray Mercer, Frank Bruno and avenged both of his losses Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman. He arose as the top guy in one of the best eras in heavyweight history. I don’t hate on Fury or accuse him of faking mental illness unlike some people on this thread. But you don’t need to downplay Lewis’ record just to make Fury look better.
