You cannot even begin to compare a 23 year old Bugner and present Fury .. Joe was leagues above and mixing it with all time greats

Agreed Fury would lose to the all-time greats as well. But what does that prove? Bugner wasn't leagues above anybody. He was just a hard working pro who made a name for himself. I'm not sure if Tyson Fury is gonna become a great but if Joe Bugner is the benchmark then I think he'll be alright. Just my opinion.

Style wise, Foreman was perfect for Joe. Bugner would have beaten Foreman if they'd met back in the 70's.

i can assure you Tyson Fury will not become a great.
he averages 2 -3 fights a year (when he should be averaging 6-8) and he almost certainly wont be boxing in 5 years time let alone 10, 15 or 20 years !

I should hope he isn't boxing in 20 years time.
