    Lewis, Vitali and Wlad are the only ones who would have a good chance, maybe Bowe.

    The little ones aren't beating a prime 100% fury

    I think Fury is the kind of guy who if he had 50 fights may potentially lose 1 or 2 the way lennox did by just being lazy and unprepared. When he's on his game he's a nightmare for anyone.

    Lol at people saying Mike Tyson, Fury would DESTROY him mentally before they stepped in the ring and Tyson NEEDED his opponent to fear him to win, he would fold very quickly against fury.

      Too many to mention since tv was invented.
      Fury would beat guys like Frazier and Patterson
      Would get cremated vs guys like Mike and Tua.
      Would be an interesting fight vs guys like Cooney and Morrison
      Guys like Byrd would show Fury what boxing really looks like.
      Tua

      Are you JOKING

      Tua couldn't do anything with lennox, and Fury can do a better version of that lennox, than lennox.

          Any elite HW always has a shot, just as Wilder has a shot against anyone due to his lights out power and speed, heart, athleticism. I believe Fury is the best HW of all time, and Lewis is the 2nd, but there is no way to prove this, it's just Nash's opinion. People mention Mike Tyson, who would be nowhere near my top 20, but Tyson was promoted and matched brilliantly, the invincible hype was awesome, but ultimately, he came up far short many, many times, and quit when the going got tough, no excuses, and there are many of them, can save him from that. Facts are facts. When the going got tough, Mike got going.

          I love Marciano, but we are going way to far back in time and size for a realistic head to head. Ultimately, Fury is a nightmare for anyone in history, even if you think your fave would beat him, you can't possibly think he'd be an easy night's work. As far as Bowe! Don't make me laugh. Chicken "Belt Binner" Bowe, has the worst duck of all time against Lewis, and took two beatings from a garbage, Polish journeyman. Nash out. Nash wishes everyone a Happy Nash Year for 2022.

            You don`t have to go to history. Joyce and Usyk are tough enough.

              Yep. I am Fury fan, but let`s keep it real.

              Beating Vladimir and Wilder doesn`t mean you are better than Lewis, Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Holmes and all heavyweights that ever existed.

                  He beats everyone else, head to head. I wont say he’s the greatest because other people have had greater careers overall and greatness is defined in many ways.

                  but nobody would beat him.
                  So you are trying to tell me, nobody is going to beat a fighter 'That is clumsy at times, Fury has moments of complete calamity'.

                  But thinking on this further, there is no need to respond. As Fury is a unbeaten fighter, so really 'You are warranted in saying, he cannot be beaten'.

                  I did not list any fighters, because I have been there before. I would rather focus on the heavyweights around today against Tyson Fury.

                  If Fury would just be a honest champion, and take on all comers people's perceptions of his ability would change real quick. I think Kronk Fury style is a mess, all of his fights from this point on wards will be complete chaos at elite level.

                  If he fights Dillian Whyte, he may win but he will be ****** about in the process.

                  Kronk Fury is not peak Fury, and Fury under Peter Fury 'Was kind of untested'.
