His size, skill, accuracy, reach and heart makes him the greatest. Wilder was the best, hardest puncher and undefeated until he met Fury. Yet Wilder was destroyed. Many also think Fury won their first match that was ruled a tie. Fury is undefeated.
Ali lost to fighters much weaker than Fury. Joe Lewis would have been shocked to fight someone as big as Fury. The Great Russian champ in his prime might have put up a fight due to his skill and size but would have lost.
The Irish have always been per capita the most dangerous and effective fighters on the planet.
Peak M. Ali in his twenties was better than peak T. Fury. A young Ali was too fit, too quick and too agile for T. Fury. By age 30, Ali was on the back nine. Interesting fact pointed out by Mike Tyson. Ali never threw a body punch, all head shots. I have gone back and looked at old Ali fights on youtube, not one body punch to be seen.

Fury is 33. Fury and Ali both fighting at 33 would be very bad news for Ali. Also, yes about Ali which makes a 6' 9" guy harder to hit in the face. Ali struggled with Frazer and lost to Spinks. Fury would destroy Ali.

But we are not talking about terrorists killing civilians, we are speaking about heavy weight boxing champs.
Most heavy weight champs in the last 25 years have been Russian. Fury is a goat but in recent memory how many other Irish champs have there been.

Champs like Tyson Fury and John L Sullivan, not terrorists like the British army.
I detect a bit of salt about the "British" champ being an Irishman yet again.

Obviously the comparison would be when Ali and Fury were at their peak. For Ali, that would have been during 60s before his 3.5 year break. He had outstanding hand speed, mobility and could duck out of the way of punches. He wasn't a body puncher but I think he would have been fast enough to tattoo Fury's face with jabs and straight rights.
Tyson would swarm Fury and fight from the inside and land heavy blows to the body. Foreman was a very hard puncher with much better technique than Wilder. He also had more stamina than Wilder showed on Saturday.

Ukranian, but you're getting pretty close.

Tyson Fury could beat peak Tyson with ease and probably Ali. Not because he’s necessarily a better fighter, but the size difference is bigger than you think. Ali being 6 inches shorter and 40 pounds lighter is huge. All the head shots Ali threw wouldn’t hit a guy 6 inches taller and with top tier movement. Just too much to deal with for Ali.

per capita, and over all history, I said, and I didn't say just boxing. So Conor McGregor.
The Klitschkos would not agree that they're Russian, they're nationalists.

Joe Frazier's boxing style as stated by George Foreman was very similar to Mike Tyson's. Frazier, taller and more skilled than Tyson. You brought up fight(s) post Ali's peak. By Spinks, Ali had taken too many punches. Go back and look at fights of Ali back in 1960's. I stated in my first post Ali was past his peak at age 30. I know T Fury is much larger than peak Ali. Peak Ali was too good. Don't forget, it was impossible to knock out Ali. Ali was too mentally tough to be knocked out.

Perhaps you missed the term 'per capita'?

He regards himself and clearly is British and Irish. He's as patriotic as they come. When England fans were getting chased and beaten by Putin backed Russian Ultras at Euro 2016 in France, he even flew over to join the fans.
Most Britiah Irish no longer have any hatred towards the English. Only American Irish looking to stand out from the mess that is white America.

I agree with this I love Tyson Fury and he's clearly the best of this era and perhaps better than the prime Klitschko brothers, but it's hard for me to believe that he would have beaten the likes of Foreman, Ali, Holmes, Frazier etc. No disgrace in that as they were the best era in 120 + years.
Not to mention that these guys would have been a couple of inches bigger with more muscle had they been born later. Jor Frazier was born dirt poor and his family had to move across America to save themselves from being lynched by the local hillbillies.

Actually he was born in Manchester
He's a Traveller, lamebrain. An Irishman in Britain, and oppressed as second-class at that. Even held the Irish federation title.
Don't try again after self-owning this badly. Other idiot losers take heed.
