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
Ok , so this is getting ridiculous. We’re putting guys into ATG status when all they’ve beaten is tomato cans. To be fair to Fury, that’s all that is around to beat. So here are my unpopular opinions.

B]Fury vs Jack Johnson –

Fury vs Jack Dempsey –
Complete waste of time . You can’t compare people in a sport 100 years apart ffs. It’s like saying the vikings would be able to win battles against modern day soldiers with tanks, airplanes and fucking mad machine guns and stuff.

Fury vs Joe Louis – Louis . He beat my namesake easy, so why wouldn’t he beat Fury? Yes Fury can move for a big guy, but he looks good doing it because everybody’s crap. There’s levels to everything.

Fury vs Rocky Marciano – Probably Fury. I mean , he’d be fighting a LHW who wasn’t even much of a mover.


Fury vs Sonny Liston – prime Liston before getting sussed out by Clay would’ve made Fury shit his pants.

Fury vs Muhammad Ali – Ali whichever way he wanted to.

Fury vs Joe Frazier – Frazier wouldn’t give him a second’s peace.

Fury vs George Foreman – Foreman knocks him out. We think of Foreman as a bit of a Mummy because of the way Ali took the piss. But nobody else makes him look like that, and he fought and beat some amazing fighters.

Fury vs Larry Holmes – Holmes by unanimous decision

Fury vs Mike Tyson – Prime Mike Tyson sparks him out. When Tyson was at his peak , he was better against the big guys.he used his smaller size as a plus.

Fury vs Evander Holyfield – Holyfield by unanimous decision. Like Frazier, Fury would feel like he’s got a rash all over him.

Fury vs Riddick Bowe – Bowe.

Fury vs Lennox Lewis – Lewis by stoppage. (And I never even liked Lewis.)

Fury vs Vitali Klitchsko – Klitschko late stoppage [/B]
