Re: Where does Tyson Fury rank in the Greatest Heavyweight list?
Just reading Doug Fischers thoughts in the Ring Online how Fury would do against the ATGs.
I've cut and pasted the relevant part here. Again, just one man's opinion.
Fury vs Jack Johnson – Fury by close decision (in a bout scheduled for 10-to-15-rounds; if it the fight distance is 20 rounds or more, I’ve going with Li’l Arthur)
Fury vs Jack Dempsey – Fury by unanimous decision or late stoppage (but I think Dempsey has a shot at catching him in the early rounds)
Fury vs Joe Louis – Fury by close decision (but I think he has to survive some wobbly moments and maybe a knockdown)
Fury vs Rocky Marciano – Fury by late stoppage
Fury vs Sonny Liston – Liston by close decision (thanks to a knockdown or two)
Fury vs Muhammad Ali – Ali by unanimous decision
Fury vs Joe Frazier – Frazier by close decision
Fury vs George Foreman – Fury by close decision (but Big George, of course, has a real shot at clipping the Gypsy King)
Fury vs Larry Holmes – Holmes by unanimous decision
Fury vs Mike Tyson – Fury by unanimous decision (but just like Dempsey, Iron Mike has a real shot at ending the fight early)
Fury vs Evander Holyfield – Fury by close, maybe majority or split decision in a great fight
Fury vs Riddick Bowe – Big Daddy by close decision in a great fight
Fury vs Lennox Lewis – Lewis by unanimous decision
Fury vs Vitali Klitchsko – Klitschko by close decision in a mutually punishing fight
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
