    And its really pathetic

    Goes in with no chance vs 10 year ATG reigning champ Wlad and schools him in Germany, goes to America vs 5 year reigning historic puncher Wilder at like 50% of his best and they have to Rob him to give Wilder a draw, then straight whoops him half to death in the rematch

    "but Wallin doe...."

    Yeah Fury finds it hard to be motivated for opponents who aren't the best, oh well as flaws go there's worse ones than that

      Have to go with Ali (right now), Tyson has only been in 3 real title fights, Wlad was a great champ, but was at the end of the road and ready to lose, Wilder is well Wilder (carefully guided "champ").
      Until we get to see more of Tyson, I'd have to give Ali the advantage.
      It also could depend on which Ali are we talking about? 60's Ali was slim and fast, whereas 70's Ali had the rope-a-dope and high boxing IQ.

        Whichever version you think can handle the nightmare switch hitter with death in both hands, known as Tyson Fury. Fury floats like a butterfly and stings like a warhead.

          70s Ali Fury would beat and probably badly. Prime Ali would probably be too slick for him but Fury is a different than anyone he has ever fought. Id give the Liston era Ali the definite edge and I feel like Fury would beat the 70s version of him up. No choice for that in the poll.

            Fair enough.

            What a fight it would be.

                  Ali from '67 is too fast and carves up Fury real good in the late rounds. The fastest heavyweight with the biggest heart and stamina is not losing to Fury... Most of his opponents from this era ended up losing due to stoppage from getting cut up so bad. I don't see Fury touching Ali even with loaded gloves, I don't see him landing any significant shot that would land flush around this version of Ali.

                    Fury drags that version of Ali to deep, dark, turbulent waters and drowns him in a perfect storm.

                      Have to laugh at how overhyped Fury is being.

                      Ali would destroy him, way too fast, Steve Cunigham was giving Fury fits and he is smaller and no where near the level of Ali.
