Ali, Holmes, Louis
Fury looked pretty tired at the end of 12th round with Wallin. Imagine what could even better and far more skilled operator like Ali do to him in 12 rounds. Ali was used to box even 15 rounds.
Vitali Klitschko also could beat him. Maybe Lennox also.
It is not like Fury would be a huge favorite against those guys.
Can’t argue with the way u put it. I saw Fury turn pro. He was pear shaped and covered in acne, but u could see his potential. After his first fight my brother figured he’d be champ one day. But if im not mistaken if the fight was stopped on cuts vs Wallin Fury woulda lost? He has the potential to beat anyone, but he could also lose to a lot of greats. Lewis, Vitali, Foreman, Holyfield, Ali, Holmes, would all have a decent shot. Like u said Vegas odds wouldn’t be wide one way or the other. People have to remember the second wilder fight was even on paper. Kellerman told my brothers friend to bet on Wilder when he met him in a Vegas pharmacy. He called my brother who said to screw kellerman bet on Fury by KO, and he did. So we got luv for Fury but still no point going crazy yet. Heck most people myself included thought Fury weighing in 273lbs and in a T-shirt was a bad sign. Now it’s somehow a stroke of genius. He’s a great fighter. But he doesn’t have the clean ur clock type of power.Comment

Plenty could. Quite a few now could. Wilder's a shocking boxer and he nearly did. There's a strong argument that Wallin deserved to stop him.
People need to stop saying he moves like Ali. He moves well for a man of his size. That's as far as it goes.Comment

I think that Cunningham proved that small heavies could have success against fury altho Tyson is a much different fighter with sugar and that kronk clinch on the inside . I could see Michael hunter and usyk giving fury good fights. I mean I wouldn't pick them to win but I think they could give him a fight and I wouldn't count either out completely . Also Andy ruiz in shape would have a chance as well. Something in my gut tells me hunter is going to make some noise soon . And we all know that Michael and fury had a close fight as amateurs. I doubt they ever fight but it is a match I would like to see .Comment

Where’s the “Prime Mike Tyson” beats everybody fans? I thought I’d have heard about how if uss Cunningham caught Fury, then Mike would have put him out.Comment

It depends on the Fury that turns up
Nobody today can beat a 100% Fury but we’ve seen he can not be motivated by lesser opponents and might end up beating himself but even then I think he has enough to pull out a win.
It’s easy to say that some top fighter would beat the version that fought Cunningham but that wasn’t prime Fury and didn’t respect Cunningham at first. Or they’ll say they could beat the Fury that fought Wallin, but no top fighter will get that version of Fury because he’ll be totally focused.
Fury beats Andy Ruiz easily, Ruiz won’t get anywhere near him. Wouldn’t be an entertaining fight, Fury would just box him from the outside without breaking a sweat.Last edited by deathofaclown; 05-02-2020, 04:01 AM.Comment

Joe Louis is never beating Tyson Fury. No chance. He's a legend obviously but he's a cruiser basically with a 76 inch reach.Ali, Holmes, Louis

Ali in his absolute prime would be even money.
Holmes even money. Vitali would be a slight underdog.
Lennox would be the only favourite I boxing history. Right combo of power size strength and reach that is needed to beat fury.Comment
