    No, not even close unless he beats Joshua and / or Wilder and reclaims the top spot. He was great against Klitschko but that was just 1 win, there's nothing worth mentioning in an ATG conversation otherwise.

      If one good win over a faded great qualifies someone for ATG status then I guess Buster Douglas, Leon Spinks and Kevin McBride are ATG's too.

        Joshua's claim to fame is beating Wlad following a 1.5 yr layoff after Fury beat him, so it is what it is.
        I am a Wladamir fan, and there were times in that fight I thought he could lose. He did not look the same after his trainer's death. Wladamir was untouchable for many years, but I think he was on the downslope at that point of his career.

          ifs hes an ATG for outpointing old wlad then so is trevor berbick for beating up old ali.

          At best Fury is a backdoor for HoF for displacing wlad, the previous unified HW champion, but that alone doesnt sound enough really. Would he be HoF for displacing Joshua now? no, ahd Joshua is superior to old Wlad.

            If he beats Wilder and/or Joshua and then defends the title(s) a few times he may be HOF material.
