    Ruddock brawled with Tyson, a very tough one at that. Klitschko didn't do that and couldn't do that against Mike. Mike won both fights convincingly anyways right?

    Mike won every round against Smith. How did he struggle? He basically ran the whole night against mike.

    Douglas was a tough fight but we all know the history behind that. One that night he could have just about beaten anyone.

    Mike has beater the likes of Holmes, Tucker, Bruno, Biggs and Thomas. All guys known for having a good jab.

        He didn't look good against either, and certainly didn't win the ruddock fight with ease. And those guys are a million miles away from klitschko, as are all the guys you mentioned who supposedly had a good jab.

        And how can you at one hand say we know the history behind Douglas, and then on the other hand mention larry holmes?

        seems a bit contradictive to me.

          Now that first line is interesting. You can’t be one of the greatest boxers of all time if you duck your closest skilled opponent in his prime then be so scared you throw your own belt in the trash (Bowe).

          Now you also can’t be in the debate of best fighter of all time if your best wins are Klitscho and Wildier . (Fury)


          Now since fury is still active. If he goes on to beat AJ, become undisputed champion and retires undefeated then maybe that first statement can be true for fury.
          Even if fury does what u stated in the last paragraph of your post here he isnt even close to the best all time . He would have to do alot more than that . That would get him in the top 10 imo . This current division is too weak for him to achieve goat status . He doesn't have the opponents nor will he have the longevity to clean out who's in the top10 now and then do the same with the next up and coming lot . That being said I feel heavyweight may have a bit of a golden era coming up with all these young guns on their way up .

            I support this statement.

              That’s true. However your career has to be more than just one opponent.

                Bowe easy, despite it being short at the top.

                  I would rather have Fury’s boxing career than Bowe’s as far as health and earning power are concerned.

                  Fury’s career isnt over yet so we cant talk about his legacy but for sure id rather be him who is ****** rich with health intact.

                    Give Usyk the staff Holyfield had and he will be one of top heavyweights.

                      Neither guy fights like Klitschko. Did you see the bombs that bonecrusher and ruddock ate in that fight? Klitschko would've ended up in hospital if he ate those. Klitschko lost to the likes of Purity, Sanders and Brewster.

                      How is that contridictory? Larry Holmes was still a good opponent, he went into beat Rey Mercer and some say he won the fight against Spinks.
