    Who on Mike Tyson's resume when he was "prime" would Tyson Fury get any credit at all for beating? It's too easy to crap on anyone's resume. Nash out

        he'll be in the conversation but I think most will be skeptical.

            If he beats Joshua, Usyk, Sanchez, Zhang he is legit.

            I need to see more good wins from him.

                I've seen him lose to McDermott and should've been stopped v Wallin too (it would've been stopped the other way).

                The way he dealt with Wilder head on, is impressive for sure though, he walked down a huge puncher. But Wilder has barely won a round of 'boxing' against even the most novice of boxers for 7 years without a KD. He can't box.

                Fury needs an Usyk fight to be considered the best of this era, as opposed to just a number 1 like any random champion in a division imo.

                All time... Not in the convo imo.

                    Because he's huge & skilled

                    And he ended the two longest reigns in recent history.

                    One loss wipes all that away, though.

That being said, with Fury's size and awkwardness he'll give any HW problems, not saying he'll win.
                        Wilder with his power will simply give most past and future heavyweight problems is he an all time great too ?

                            Spinks who got more notable wins than Wilder & Holmes who is way better than Klitschko

                                I don't even think he'd beat Larry Holmes
