    Where would you rank Tyson fury in All time heavyweights?

    I’d put him top 10. But it’s difficult to compare eras especially in the heavyweight division and they are a lot bigger now.

    I feel like fury would be able to compete with any heavyweight that’s ever lived, he would either beat them or be in close fights with them. Although The heavyweights back then were a lot smaller, Ali, Frazier etc weighed like 210-220? I feel like in a fight with fury who weighs 270 plus it would be very difficult for them because of that huge size difference.

    Where you all put him?

    H2H --> GOAT
    Resume --> Top 10
    Title defenses --> Hamster (Still defended against Wilder and Whyte)

      H2H #1

      Resume, not that high but inside the top 25,he would need to beat Usyk, AJ and then maybe a hrgovic or Joyce for me to consider if I can place him top 10

          He is not in the top-10 for me, top-15 maybe. Does not have the titles defenses, but he does have two great wins.

          If Fury was around in the 1970's, he would not weigh 270 pounds.

          Fury is 270 pounds, because of modern day supplementation and nutrition.

          You need to think a tad more, and take these things into account.

          I have been over this many times before.

          The battle for the greatest of this era is between Joshua & Fury. The battle has not been decided.

          It has not reached its conclusion.

            Joshua fell out of the race, like joseph parker, david price , andy ruiz all these other prospects from the same time as AJ/Fury and he beat Wilder the other contender and whyte and chisora and wallin. The race is over, how man Ls does AJ need before you'd say the conclusion has been reached?? Another two? He couldn't remain relevant long enough for the question to be answered. We dont need to see AJ outclassed and head jabbed off again for us to know Fury is on a different level, mentally his boxing knowledge, speed of thought and mental strength and fortitude alone consumes AJ

              He doesn't do any one thing like an ATG.

              But the total package of what he brings to the table, at his size, is an oddity. I don't believe there has ever been anyone quite like him in all of heavyweight history.

                He's fighting for three belts in a couple of months.

                I'm pretty sure he's still relevant!

                  It would help Tyson Fury’s case greatly if he became an undisputed champion. Ali, Holmes, Johnson, Louis definitely defeat him. Lennox Lewis, Frazier, Liston would likely win. Marciano, Tyson and Dempsey would have a decent shot. Fury beats Foreman, Willard, prime Klitschko, both Spinks brothers, Patterson, Schmeling , Braddock, Baer, Charles, Walcott, Moorer,and Sharkey. Holyfield- Fury would be 50-50. Gene Tunney was great but would have trouble with Fury’s style and size, and wouldn’t threaten Fury with his power, as Rocky and Dempsey would. And the Rock and the Manassa Mauler WOULD threaten him-Tyson Fury’s chin is decent but not great.

                  By the way, Holyfield at cruiserweight weighed roughly as much as Dempsey and Marciano did and was a pretty good heavyweight.—Mark

                    He's a head to head match up nightmare but he only has four or five good wins. The Klitschko win and the Wilder wins are really great wins, but there's not a lot beyond that.
