    Lewis ,Vitali and Bowe are best bets .

    Mike Tyson would win if he’s not lazy on the inside and Wlad Klitschko is never out of any fight the rematch may not have went good for Fury ? He was still favored to win


    Fury is no all time great but he doesn’t need to be to win fights .

      That's what I'm talking about. Was wondering why nobody said Shavers or Frazier. Even Foreman said he was glad he was never unfortunate enough to fight Shavers.

        Foreman said he wouldn’t be able to defeat Fury .

        Shavers lost just about ever big fight he was in . I can’t see Frazier applying constant pressure to 270 pound giant ,look at the Buster Mathis fights ,he’d have a nightmarish time against fury .

          Frazier would be too small for Fury

          And Shavers was basically a Wilder of his time. A second rate boxer with a first rate punch

          except that, unlike Wilder, Shavers stamina ****** and he wasn't a very good finisher. If you could avoid his attacks for a few rounds (which wasn't hard to do is you were a skilled boxer) you had him.

            lennox would be the only test
            Yes Deontay Wilder is game and aggressive, but does he not telegraph his punches? Is he not extremely wide wild with his punches?

            If Tyson Fury moves so well for his size, how on earth was Deontay Wilder able to deck him 'Twice in their last fight'? Deontay Wilder was able to land on Fury, in almost every single round 'Fury was not a difficult target to find'.

            Once upon a time, Tyson Fury did use movement a lot better than he is now. But since his comeback, Fury has been there to be hit 'I honestly think Fury's hardcore fans, selectively ignore this.

            I am unsure , why people are adamant that Tyson Fury has some sort of impregnable defense? Kronk Fury is there to be hit these days. I don't class Kronk Fury as peak Fury 'And unfortunately peak Fury did not really have many fights at elite level'.

            Tyson Fury under Peter Fury, only had 1 fight at elite level against Wladimir Kiltschko 'Fury got the win in a bamboozling performance, but I have always believed that Kiltschko would of adapted his game and won the rematch'.

            It was unfortunate and a injustice that Kiltschko was denied his opportunity of a rematch.

            I am not really going to list the fighters who can beat Tyson Fury from past era's. Because there are many fighters active right now, who will cause Kronk Fury plenty of trouble.

            The Tyson Fury we are witnessing right now, is comparable to the Muhammad Ali of the 1970's. Fury has re-adapted his style to stay competitive, due to his old riddler style no longer being as potent 'Muhammad Ali did something very similar'.

            Kronk Fury, I think is very beatable for the past all-time greats.

            The Riddler Fury i.e The version of Fury who trained under Peter Fury, now this Tyson Fury would maybe survive against a lot of fighters. But his offense and power, was not really proven at elite level.

                Yeah but he also wouldn't be able to drop weight on Fury.

                Fury Wins that fight plus Lewis was chinny.

                  Fury would’ve beaten any version of Wlad. Stylistic nightmare. Wlad’s predictable 3 punch arsenal would never be enough.

                  AJ no words needed.

                  Mike Tyson used to mentally fold when he couldn’t intimidate his opponents. Fury would bully the bully and have Mike beaten before they touch gloves then take his heart in the ring.
                  Whats vitalis best win? What's furys best win?

                  Wilder??
                  a shot wlad??

                  The second prize chisora?
