    The most dangerous fights for Fury

    1. Obviously Wilderž
    2. Joshua
    3. Hunter, because of hand speed
    4. Usyk, because of skills
    5. Helenius, because he is extremely heavy handed


    That is how I see it. I wanna see Fury fighting those guys before he retires.

    I am not really interested in Kownacki, Ortiz, Whyte, Povetkin, Parker and others, because I don`t see them as a threat.

    Daniel Dubois and Tony Yoka are more dangerous than Helenius and probably Usyk too. I just ain't convinced... Hunter sure, maybe I'd also give Povetkin a good shot.

      Wilder might have been his greatest threat tbh. Hes one dimensional but at the end of the day - 6'7 with arguably the biggest one shot KO power ever seen in the division. Joshua has a better all round skillset than Wilder and is a big guy but I dont think he has the skills to outbox Fury or the hail Mary punch that Wilder brings. Usyk and Hunter have the skills but are probably too small and lacking in power. Helenius has the size and the power but not the boxing ability. Joyce might have posed problems with his size, volume and heavy handedness if he wasnt so slow. Dubois is probably not ready yet.

        Fury is just levels above everybody else, they all get schooled and/or KO'd.

        For me, Wilder still has the best shot to beat Fury only due to his freakish power.

          Dubois and Joshua are the most dangerous. Big punchers who punch in combinations. Single shot punchers like Wilder are less of a threat.

            Agreed, I think Fury has figured out Wilder now despite having the freakish power I don't think its as problematic for him anymore.

            I think when we get into the territory of a smaller boxer height wise that where you will start to see Fury struggle more, Povetkin could probably do some decent work on Fury. Would also like to see Ruiz get himself back on track, Fury has a history of being dropped by shorter fighters I'd like to see if history repeats itself when he fights higher calibre of those sorts of opponents.

              Wilder will always be the most dangerous for Fury because all it takes is one second for him to detonate his equalizer. One moment of Fury getting sloppy, one little mistake - Fury's gotta be on it for every second of every round which I don't think comes naturally to him. He's used to being able to play with opponents, because he's so big & has so much natural boxing ability. Also I think if Fury has one weakness it's stamina - he's going to tire down the stretch (especially with all his movement) & that gives Wilder more chance of landing that KO shot.

              Everybody else on that list, Fury can make mistakes or start to get tired and get away with it. None of them come close to Wilder's one punch power - nobody does so he'll always be the most dangerous fight.

                  It is Wilder because of that Power is his most dangerous opponent in the Heavyweight Division! Even in the 3rd Fight Wilder is still very dangerous but I think Fury has his number

                  After that...EASY WORK! I think he gives AJ a boxing lesson he is way too slow and stiff for Fury that is a AWFUL stylistic match up for AJ but again it is the Heavyweight Division and AJ has power so of course he will have a Punchers Chance.

                  Usyk too little for Fury not only that but Fury is just as skilled and moved just as well if not better than Usyk so NO Usyk is not Out-Boxing Fury I don't see that happening.

                  Hunter too small as well

                  As for Helenius... why the F^ck is he even on this List?

                  Only Fury can stop Fury in this ERA IMO. Fury is the type of guy that can abruptly retire out of nowhere at anytime because he is just that unpredictable outside of the ring. If Fury is on top of his game he beats them ALL.

                    Wilder, Joshua, and Ortiz because of their power.

                    I think Usyk, Hunter, and Povetkin are simply too small.

                    Helenius got KO'd by Washington, he is no threat

                    Dubois has to step up before I buy him as a real contender

                    Whyte is too basic, Pulev too old/small, Kownacki too basic, Parker doesn't have the heart or killer instinct
