    Hypothetical Wilder/Fury/Joshua Pick-‘Em

    The top three boxers in the Heavyweight Division are arguably (in no particular order) Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, and Tyson Fury.

    How do you think they’d fare if they could face great boxers in the past, during their primes?

    Here’s some hypothetical matchups - how do you think they’d play out?

    JOSHUA:
    1. Anthony Joshua v. Lennox Lewis
    2. Anthony Joshua v. Vitali Klitschko
    3. Anthony Joshua v. George Foreman

    WILDER:
    1. Deontay Wilder v. Lennox Lewis
    2. Deontay Wilder v. Muhammad Ali
    3. Deontay Wilder v. Mike Tyson

    FURY:
    1. Tyson Fury v. Vitali Klitschko
    2. Tyson Fury v. Sonny Liston
    3. Tyson Fury v. Lennox Lewis

    I think Tyson, Wilder and AJ all lose all three of their fights. 9 wins for the old timers and 9 losses for today's best 3 heavyweights.

      Fair enough, it would definitely take a lot to beat those legends!

          3. Deontay Wilder v. Mike Tyson

          FURY:

          2. Tyson Fury v. Sonny Liston
          3. Tyson Fury v. Lennox Lewis
          Lewis, Vitali and Foreman all KO AJ. Likely early tbh.

          Lewis, Tyson and Ali all easily KO Wilder.

          Fury would be too big and awkward for Liston, terrible style matchup for Liston. Fury UD.

          Fury would be a difficult style for Vitali also, he’d face similar issues to what Wlad did in 2015. However Vitali was far more prepared to take shots to land shots than Wlad ever was. He would probably be down on the cards but Vitali via late stoppage.

          Lennox and Fury are both highly skilled but Lennox is the far bigger puncher, and a better fighter IMO. Lennox via KO.
