Why is Tyson Fury Ranked 5th Heavyweight on Box Rec?

It's because they use an automated points system which is always ******.

Yeah good point, Its so hard to figure out the real top 10 without having to try and find and watch every single fighter thats in the top 20 of all organisations which is obviously not a practical thing to do.

this is how guys like rahman, stiverne, welliver, barrett, meehan get these high rankings in one organization but not the others.fury was the british & commonwealth champion. the commonwealth belt will give you top 15 in WBC while the EU belt gives a top 10 in the WBC. so when haye gave audley harrison a voluntary title shot he was actually giving a top 10 guy in another organization a title shot.harrison was the defending prizefighter & european champion, & he was top 10 in WBC. if you go by his accolades going into the haye fight he was more worthy of a title shot then sosnowski, kingpin & mormeck.

I don't think a number 5 ranking for Fury is so far off. He does have some good signature wins over decent competition as Joe mentioned and I think he matches up well against some of the other top heavies not named Klitschko. I could see him giving Povetkin, Dimitrenko and even Helenius good fights so I think the top ranking is warranted..

I always enjoy seeing the Americans overrating our fighters more than us.

Because he's the only HW to uppercut himself in the face and not get KTFO.

Arreola hasnt beat anybody noteable. At least Fury beat Chisora.

tyson fury probably gets a x2 points modifier just because of his name.
