Who is the greatest of all time? Larry Holmes Lennox Lewis Vitali or Tyson Fury?

[AlexKid]

Lewis lost to two guys 6”2.
Holmes lost twice to a 6”2 light heavyweight.
Fury has been dropped by a 6”3 Cruiserweight.

And apparently a 6”3 lighting fast and supremely skilled Ali “couldn’t deal” with these guys.����

Its a factor thats all im saying its not a good thing to be 210lbs vs a 250 lbs man especially if the heavier guy is skillful fast long and powerful to boot etc

Vitali isn't in the same league as those men.

He quit against Chris Byrd. Real champions don't quit.

His best fight was getting his face destroyed by an old Lennox Lewis.

Dumbest post ever considering one-decent-win over shot Wladimir, Tyson Fury is in the conversation. Just shut up with your complete lack of boxing knowledge.

It’s a tough matchup stylistically but I’d confidently pick a prime Ali to beat all 3.

Its not out of the question I have to admit Ali was incredible but there are doubts there could he really deal with a prime Lennox Lewis? Tyson? Bowe? How can he beat those guys?

Its too much to ask they are the next generation skill wise building on the previous generation and they are bigger longer stronger athletes etc

Its not that he couldnt deal with the power of Tyson or the skill of Lennox Lewis he can but there are so many other virtuous traits that the modern guys have as well on top of these that it gets a bit silly to expect Ali to be able to compete.

Take Lennox its bad enough that he has a similar skill level, then add to that, better range, similar speed, lots of power and weight, more height, etc and you have something that I believe is "too much" for Ali to realistically deal with. Each additional asset is kind of a big deal.

With his superior skills, speed, footwork etc. The Ali thar tore through the HW division in the mid 60’s is a nightmare for any of those guys. Evander Holyfield gave all 3 of those guys trouble purely down to having good fundamentals and great resilience/toughness/stamina.

Lol @ Foreman, with like 4 title fight wins being ranked over Wladimir who has been in more HW title fights than any other HW in history.

Vitali dislocated his shoulder against Byrd. Back then, trying to fight on with a dislocated shoulder would probably have ended his career.

What a joke
Fury would not come close to any of the heavyweight’s mentioned
Sorry no fughin chance in hell
Fury had luck on his side , and it seems to be fading away
I don’t consider Fury to be much more than last weeks novelty
