I'll never feel like either Wilder or Fury can't be beaten. That's part of their appeal I think. They're the top guys, they're obviously good at what they do, they're obviously winners, this can't be denied. But you also never get the feeling that they're too far away from a potential upset or defeat.

Either of them.

Nobody really seems untouchable in the Heavyweight division. That's the fun of it, and hell the past has shown us that even when somebody DOES seem that way (Sonny Liston, Mike Tyson, George Foreman) he's still beatable.

He isn't a boxer. He should just give it up.

It's true. We so often want to make it so one guy beats all others, but it's not so simple. Just look at AJ vs Parker vs Ruiz. You can beat someone and then lose to someone worse or no better than the previous guy

But who would win the most/have the best chance.....that's Mr. Leshun (part Asian ? lol)

It is not that the biggest and most skilled can never lose, but that the biggest and most skilled have most of the advantages over the competition. Therefore Fury would win most matches against his contemporaries. Reason only offends the illogical.

The only one who can beat Fury is himself, so yeah I agree with this.

I do hope that we get great fights in this Era and that the guys get paid well for their effort.

If I'm ranking them on past performance in the HW division my order would be:

1. Wilder
2. Fury
3. Ruiz
4. Joshua
5. Usyk

On ability:

1'd have AJ #3 and Ruiz #4 as I think Ruiz will lose the rematch.

I have no recollection whatsoever. Possibly a draw. But having Fury 1 and Wilder 2 is very reasonable, if that's where you are going with that.

Margie, you should open a poll on the topic or just go back and look at the RBR.

I think I did have it a draw. Of course Fury certainly won more rounds.

Thinking about it a while, 8-4 rounds for Fury, I had it a draw with the 2 KDs.

Ok. I remember saying on the phone, "I think the judges had it right. I also had it a draw." With (2) 10-8 rounds I scored for Wilder, Fury obviously won more roundss. 7-5? What do you think, I'm freaking Einstein?

Frankly I'm surprised you even remember your scoring. It wasn't exactly an exciting affair. Careful someone doesn't ask round by round! :o

It is amusing the way there's a lot of people wanting the rematch just because of the 12th round drama, but yeah Wilder vs Fury was otherwise boring as all hell..as it usually is when Fury fights.

The most exciting fight I've seen him in was actually the Wallin fight. I enjoyed that one.
