In the context of Tyson Fury having never taken up the sport of boxing…

It sounds like a silly question, but think about it for a few minutes… Would the 2015 version of AJ beaten a 39-year-old version of ‘Dr Steelhammer’, especially when you consider the Brit going life and death with the 41-year-old version of the same man?

Would the 2015 version of Deontay Wilder stood a chance against a 39-year-old version of Wladimir Klitschko?

If Tyson Fury hadn’t defied the betting odds and dethroned Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, coupled with making the Ukraine remain inactive and waiting for the rematch, would AJ have enjoyed the same amount of success as he’s currently achieved?

Thoughts?

Yes

I believe, in 2015 none of AJ and Wilder would have won Klitschko. They were raw. Maybe later, when Wlad would have declined more and those two would have progressed.

Yep. If either thought Wlad was still dangerous they wouldn't have faced him... they would've waited a while
