Maybe if Fury beats Wilder in a rematch, then beats Joshua, and then sticks around for a few more years and has some more defenses, sure. The potential is there.
Damn boys, settle down. Fury exceeded expectations, he has been in two world championships matches...ever. He is one of the best now but there is a slew of fighters that would have rung him out in the 70-90s. Vitali would have walked right through his feints and jab,jab. He still probably would have befuddled Wlad in his prime though.
This wasn’t a prime Fury and look how easily he outboxed the HW champion. In his prime he totally outboxed one of the best HW’s ever. The way he moves around the ring is unique for a guy his size and people don’t give this guy enough credit for his talent.
That talent blessed with the warrior spirit would make him champ in ANY era.
Yes.
We need to see how he handles the rematch and the next 5 years. But he's looking like the best ever.
Until he grows a chin I beg to differ. It's what cost him his fight with Deontay Wilder. As he grows older he won't be able to rely on his legs and reflexes anymore which was the main reason he wasn't knocked out by Wilder. The longer he fights, eventually he is going to have settle down more on his punches for power and take more risks with that very fragile chin of his.

You need to quit, best ever, you must be joking, stop drinking the kool aid. Outboxing a guy who can't box is not that difficult. Neither Wilder or Fury looked good in that fight, they both are remarkably average and lacking. I couldn't imagine putting any of them in the ring with Lewis, Tyson, or Holyfield, it would seem inhumane to do so.
I was embarrassed to be a boxing fan watching that fight, esp since I told friends to watch it. Both looked like garbage, IMO. Ugly to watch.
I don't impose my personal beliefs on others so if you disagree, fine.
LOL, no you weren't. That fight happened way past your bedtime. You were deep asleep cuddling with your cabbage patch doll.

Maybe hold off on commenting until you actually know what you're talking about.
