Which historical heavyweights would you favor over Fury?

[TMLT87]

Lennox, Holmes, Vitali, prime Wlad and Bowe when he gave a shyt.

[Marchegiano]

Jack Dempsey is Tyson Fury's kryptonite and say this while currently giving Dempsey and his entire era a hard time for being basic bitches.

Fury has just a ****load more tricks to pull out of his ass than Jack does, but, ain't none of them gonna save him. He'd have to fight a different fight to keep Jack away, down, or behind.

Usyk is not a bad challenge for him.

[HENNY]

Lennox for sure imo, because it would take someone with somewhat equal proportion to beat Fury. Lennox was pretty strong, and had much better iq than what Fury is used to fighting.

What's the % splits?

[HandsofIron]

I think prime Mike Tyson chops him down. But most guys would have a hard time.

Who do you have?

Mike's my favorite Heavyweight but he loses to Fury in a mythical match due to size not skill. Historically speaking, the only ones that give Fury a run for his money are the Super Heavies like Lewis and the K bros.

[MONGOOSE66]

I think prime Mike Tyson chops him down. But most guys would have a hard time.

Who do you have?

Lewis, KlitzchcoX2, Rid**** Bo in shape.

[Zelda]

Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Ernie Shavers, Joe Frazier, Lennox Lewis, Rid**** Bowe

[lopetego]

Lennox, Foreman, Holmes, Vitali, Wlad, Ali, Tyson, Holyfield

many others if the sizes were similar

Fury is a fat overrated gypo with fists of fluff, who beat a washed up Wlad and has fought mostly bums his entire career

yet somehow gets elevated to historical heights for beating 2 guys only

an old, washed up champ who was mentally out of there due to personal problems with his crazy wife..

and a caveman who only has a right hand and a padded record

maybe even David Haye would beat him

[Toffee]

No-one. Because he wouldn't fight them.

If we go for the fantasy match up stuff. Lewis beats him. Ali makes him look clumsy. I still think Wlad on anything but a bad night beats him (hence he didn't take a chance on repeating it). And there are a couple of heavyweights in his own era he needs to fight.

I'd give him a good chance against anyone in history and rate him very highly in terms of overall ability. Just a shame he hasn't been able to prove his level consistently.

Another thread elevating him based on who he, in theory, would beat...

[removed]

Lewis would be the only man to go in as favourite against a 100% Fury.
