Wilder fighting back at the end of the 10th was a great moment. Huge heart.
Heās secured the future of his career anyway, Wilder Joshua will be huge now.

Wilder-Joshua would be wild.

AJ is an absolute fraud of a boxer. Fury could actually kill him. Wilder would spark AJ in around 3 rounds

Two lumbering hulks for ffs.
Spot on.
It would be akin to saying Kevin McBride deserved a shot at prime Tyson- the real one

Fury didnāt look like heād bothered getting fit, but my word he had. Heās a masterful brawler.
He wouldnāt have laid a glove on Holyfield, Tyson, Ali, Foreman, Frazier or Lewis. A big overweight lummox lumbering around the ring.

I used the word ābrawlerā
Tyson at his peak would have annihilated fury I suspect, the others, Iād not be so sure. Itās impossible to say for sure I donāt think. I just think iron Mike would have destroyed him inside.
Ali is Ali. Few could lay a glove on him.
Lewis never looked entirely natural to me.
Foreman is one of the greatest ever
Holyfield Iām not so sure. He wasnāt the biggest.
Heād beat Ali, Fraizer and Hollyfield in that list. Size matters. Heād have a 50lbs weight advantage on them and he knows how to use it.
Itās all nostalgia saying 70s 80s fighters would win. In my day stuff.

He has very quick hands and is defensively superb
Itās not fair to judge between eras like that. Give Ali modern methods and heād be unbelievable
Size does matter though, few heavyweights were bigger than Ali back in his day.
Size does matter. No doubt. But Ali was the best in his own era. Canāt ask for much more

He was but his size had a lot to do with that. He never had to go into a fight with a guy who was 6 inches taller than him and 5 stone heavier, certainly nobody half decent anyway. He had great skill and speed for a man that big but a 6 ft 3 Ali would struggle at heavyweight in the modern era against prime Fury and Klitshcko I feel.

Ali would likely be a cruiser weight today
He doesnāt have the chiselled look of the black lads and has a fair old muffin top on him but even a casual spectator like me can see his boxing skills.
Probably and heād be such a good cruiser heād go up to heavyweight, but I think he could struggle against a few of the good really big guys like the Klitschkos and Fury.
