First time in ages I've watched a heavyweight championship match and quality wise quite poor compared to what you named.

honestly, the heavyweight division is better now than it was when W. Klitschko was the champion
No doubt..but compared to other eras..really pale in comparison…

Joshua is an athlete, Wilder a puncher, but Fury just might be someone that could compete with greats from the past... he is 6'9", 275 pounds, surprisingly mobile, technically proficient etc.

I think a prime Tyson though with his peak-a-boo style advancing and getting under Fury's left with knockout power in both fists would deal with Fury

Great fight!

Fury was way ahead when he got the KO.

Fury is the real deal and a shame he threw away a big chunk of his prime to drugs n shit. The heavyweight debate has always been a tough one but I think Fury is up there with Ali, Foreman, Holyfield, Lewis, Frazer, Marciano and Iron Mike as a prolific heavyweight and a class above the rest.

I agree..I think Holyfield and Lewis, both technically great would beat him too..

Fury is under every single one of those fighters. He has a big engine I give him that. His endurance is supreme for someone that big but if wilder can drop him twice then imagine what iron Mike would do lol

What a fight Fury is GOAT. Wilder, had heart but wasn’t enough, extra weight against a beast.

Not really, he will easily dispence with Joshua after Anthony avenges his recent defeat. There has been plenty of very good heavyweights over the years including the Klitchcos and Joshua, Larry Holmes, Micheal Moorer, Spinks, Ruiz, Tucker, Dougles, Bowe, Berbick etc that at some pointy held a title but the really good ones can occasionally have a defeat but come back and win again.

Maybe Joshua gets a gernsey if revenges again and then beats Fury.

Yep, dropped Fury twice and still coudnt beat him. Tyson was at his best at 20/21 while Cus was alive, after that things slowly started to unravel and was never the baddest man on the planet after Douglas rose from that uppercut and knocked his ass out.
