    What will it take for Tyson Fury to be considered an ATG heavyweight?

    He's already gone to Germany and beaten Klitschko when nobody thought he could (except for me, check threads )

    He went to America and should have gotten a win against Wilder, when not many thought he could.

    If he beats Wilder in a rematch, beat Joshua and maybe Ruiz or whoever may be holding some belts and becomes undisputed.

    Would you consider him an ATG heavyweight?

    I would.

      Shout out to kafkod & LoadedWraps as well, the original Fury massive!

      He's already the best HW of this era.

        If he beats ruiz, Josh and hangs around beating challengers even.lower level than Josh and ruiz beating pulev type guys he will be an ATG.

          He can start by beating some top ten contenders, winning belts and defending them rather than running from rematches.

            None of the current generation can or should ever be considered ATG's. They all have major flaws which would have been exploited by the true greats.

              Lol, you told me you thought he’d be more competitive than anyone else and thought it would be closer than many expected yet still said Klitschko would prevail like 116-112.

              Tell us some more about that real belief you had in him. .......

                You can’t fight rematches legally if you test positive for nandrolone, I’m not even sure how he was allowed to contend initially after testing positive after the Hammer fight for an anabolic steroid. I know Fury has insecurities over his lack of power but no fighter should ever be allowed to face another utilising the steroids Fury and others use.

                UKAD are a joke, are these the same crew who’ve been handling AJ’s testing prior to him making his first foray outside of the U.K. ?

                  A Wilder rematch would be a good start.
