    I'm just going to say it.

    Fury is the best to ever lace them up, the only boxer who could trouble him is Lennox, but Fury would still find a way to win.

      At the top.

      No one can do what Fury can do, in history. He is the complete package.

        He’s B level at best. A lot of you guys are just looking at the physical aspect of boxing. Fury doesn’t beat a Prime Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay). Fury has got heart, but Klitchko had no dynamics of Ali. Prime Ali could also rack up points from the judges by doing slick defense too, dodging and rolling Fury’s sequences. You guys gotta realize that defense is a mind game, and Prime Ali was just more athletic and faster. He would wear down Fury.

        Sorry guys, but Klitchko and Wilder are D level rope a dope fighters. To beat a man at his game you gotta play his game. Not no robotic Eastern Euro thinking like Wlad or 1 Dimensional Wilder ffs... lol

        I mean seriously.. you guys have Fury so high because of an old Wlad and Wilder. That’s rather sad from the realistic point of view when there’s tape online of Ali.. lol

          Lets have Fury VS Wilder 3 and AJ with dominant victories (minimum) before we decide he’s the goat... At this point it’s way too early for that.

            Lol. You mean at this point it’s way too late to ever consider Fury as the GOAT! LMAO

            I’d pick Cleveland Big Cat Williams to KO Otto Wallin in 4 or less

              But in terms of pure boxing skill Fury does present a unique challenge based upon his physical size, heart and skill making for a tough night out. The equalizers being his lack of power and mental inconsistencies. I want him to finish his career in dominant fashion like a Champion before assessing and I think we’re still 3-4 years shy of that.

                I think Lennox smashes him. Prime Mike as well. Holyfield is there for 12. Prime Bowe gives him all he wants. Ali was way too resilient and mentally tough on top of his skill. I like Ali to outbox him over 12 and maybe score stoppage. Prime Frazier and Foreman both bring heat too. Best believe if Wilder can drop Fury they can too. It really comes down to the mental game at the ultra elites because everyone is skilled.

                  Eye test baby. No way a midget like Ali beats the Furious One.

                  Fury has it all, size, skills and the heart of a lion.

Other than Wilder, the highest guy he has fought has been Chisora, who has 9 loses on his record. Nandrolone Fury has not been in wars. He has avoided the best at heavyweight his entire career except Twerking Wilder and an old Klitschko. I swear, y'all get way too carried away with this fraud
                    fraud? he's literally the greatest talent in the HW division since Lennox, a true boxing prodigy

                      I recall when heavyweights often moved as if wading through treacle. The largest top class fighter around that time was "The Ambling Alp"... "Da Preem"...Primo Carnera. If you watch an old film you'll be surprised at how nimble and quick moving the guy was... 6' 6'1/2"..not compared to today's quick movers but...in his time.

                      He had a very nice, fast straight left also..
