    Tyson Fury's two most defining moments in his career, were his win vs Wladimir Kiltschko and the Trilogy vs Deontay Wilder 'Outside of that he mainly campaigned at domestic and high end European level. Without doubt Tyson Fury was one of the three Heavyweight Mountains of this era, but? I have always rated both Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder as greater Champions, who actually took on all comers. In combination all three fighters effectively cleared out the Heavyweight Division in their era, and that is why I have always stated that this has been their era. Oleksandr Uysk entered the Heavyweight Division, arguable after all three Heavyweight Mountains were ether outside of their peak or in a very vulnerable state in their career. This is not criticism of Uysk, it is just the reality of boxing history'.

    Many hardcore Fury fans may attempt to claim that it was Tyson Fury who took the Heavyweight Division into a new era 'But this is an embellishment of his resume. Tyson Fury's win over Wladimir Kiltschko was the most historically significant win of this era, but? It was an injustice that a Champion of close to 10 years in Wladimir Kiltschko, was denied a opportunity to win back his titles. Because Tyson Fury pulled out of the scheduled rematch twice, unfortunately due to this then circumstance'.

    Note: And it was Anthony Joshua who in his 19th professional fight took the heavyweight Divisions into a completely new dynasty '17 months after Tyson Fury had beaten Wladimir Kiltschko. During that entire 17 months contrary to certain narratives, Kiltschko never retired. He endured three back to back training camps, before eventually fighting Anthony Joshua on April 29th 2017. Wladimir Kiltschko vs Anthony Joshua was the greatest Heavyweight title fight of the past 25 years, even in a lost Kiltschko proved how great a Champion he had been through his career. Anthony Joshua conclusively took the Heavyweight Division into a new dynasty, beating Kiltschko by knockout and forcing him to retire'.

    If you really think about it? Twice in Tyson Fury's career, Anthony Joshua fought his battles for him 'Against both Wladimir Kiltschko and Francis Ngannou. It was Joshua who conclusive fought two of Fury's rivals off conclusively wining in brutal fashion. This is a point which? I think Eddie Hearn should reiterative if the Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury fight is ever made. Twice Fury has been unbale to conclude his own major battles, and Anthony Joshua was the man, fighter and Champion who stepped up to gallantly win those battles'.

    To conclude: But overall the reason why Tyson Fury is held in such high regard, is because? He did stand up to Deontay Wilder I, II, III, and that was one battle which he did conclude himself. Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury is the greatest Heavyweight trilogy since Rid**** Bowe vs Evander Holyfield. In terms of pure ability and technical skill, there have been many superior heavyweight rivalries but? In terms of passion, competitiveness and brutally, Wilder vs Fury I, II, III is an elite level boxing battle of the highest order'.

    Tyson Fury's wins over Wladimir Kiltschko and Deontay Wilder II, III 'Were two of the most significant wins of this Heavyweight era. They were catalytic wins which created shockwaves in the Heavyweight division. The most historically significant wins of this heavyweight era, were Fury vs Kiltschko, Fury vs Wilder II, III, Joshua vs Kiltschko, Wilder vs Ortiz I & II. So as you can see? Although Tyson Fury's overall resume as a Heavyweight Champion is not super great, and in my opinion Anthony Joshua has a by far better resume. Tyson Fury does have the two most historically significant wins on his resume of this entire era, and that is what defines his legacy as one of the three Heavyweight Mountains of this era' etc.

        He's more than a Hall of Famer. He's an ATG. Easily top 20 heavyweight of all time, maybe top 15.
        Both Usyk fights were much closer than some of the biased media and fans will admit (because they dont like Fury but do like Usyk).
        I personally had him winning the first fight by 1point losing the rematch by 1 point).
        So many close rounds though. Both fights could have gone either way, imo.

          Not a great fighter but easily among the top HWs of his time.
          I will concede, though, he did have one moment of greatness - rising from the canvas in the 12th round after a hard knockdown in the first Wilder fight.
          That was epic.

            Hes going to the Hall of fame. Idk ppl on here keep acting like the boxing hall of fame is prestigious or even has a measuring standard.

            If Vinny and Gatti are in then anybody gets in. Including Fury and Wilder.

              As soon as deontay wilder started fighting guys with a pulse, he lost. This is the guy Fury is celebrated for beating?

                  Sometimes when there is this controversy about a career of a boxer, I kind of like to take away what is the universally accepted his best opponent and take a look at what's left to judge his career historically. If you take away his trilogy with Wilder what is left? Fury had a very good career and I agree with him he really doesn't need to come back for anything if he likes what he sees in the mirror. He has his health, his family, and a ton of money to decide what he wants to do with next. But historically he does not belong on top 20 lists or even short lists. That's not to say that it wasn't a good career, he's just obviously not an all-time great.

                      I like how people refer to 'the' HOF when they're referring to the Canastota one too. Americans like giving out trophies at award ceremonies and expect the rest of the world to accept it as some kind of benchmark. (FYI Willowthewisp)
