    Fury is already talking about fighting Brock Lesnar April 5th in WWE lol. Doesn't seem to be in the right frame of mind.

      If he avenges his defeat to Fury with a KO then that would rubber stamp his HOF credentials as it would give him a notable win. But wouldn't crown him an ATG.

      The ONLY way for an ATG to be crowned in this era is for him to become undisputed by winning all the belts. Winner of Fury/Wilder is lineal champ, no doubt in my mind it's a 1 v 2 fight (but Fury is still man that beat the man imo). But AJ has most of the trinkets so that fight must happen! If Wilder beats both Fury and AJ then yeah he's up there, especially if he truly cleaned the division out by beating Ruiz Jr, Usyk, Parker, Whyte.

        Fury wants everyone to think he isn't focused. It's part of his plan.

          I like this answer. It's basically what I was going to say. Fury =HOF, Fury+AJ= ATG.

              It would compare to the first half of an ATG’s resume. He needs 5 or 6 more fights of this magnitude in order to be in the discussion.

                If we're lucky we may see Wilder fight Fury 3 times & AJ 3 times.

                Whoever comes out on top amongst the big 3 can look forward to fighting the likes of Usyk, Ruiz, Parker, Whyte, with Hunter, Hrgovic & Dubois waiting in the wings. If he can fight most of that field and still be lineal champion at retirement, considering each other their achievements up to this point - ATG no doubt about it.

                Come the end of this era I think we'll see all 3 of Fury, Wilder and AJ be HOF inductees, if the BIG fights get made then those fights could potentially be talked about by the masses in 30+ years - how could they not be HOF?

                But only one can be crowned an ATG I think. Wilder has ATG power, we all know that.

                  Wilder will become the best boxer of a bad generation of boxing.

                  I really don't see AJ even beating Wilder after his out boxing of Ruiz. So, if Fury gets sparked out, then Wilder is the top of this generation for sure.

                    He would still have to get by Miller, Usyk, Povetkin, and Briggs.

                      It depends on how he gets the win.

                      Imagine if he just walks right through Fury and destroys him early.

                      Like a prime George Foreman. You'd have to rate him as one of the greatest ever.
