Tyson Fury ranks among all-time greats after Deontay Wilder pushed him to the brink

LAS VEGAS — It’s become fashionable to look down one’s nose at modern boxers and say there’s no comparison between them and the legends of the past.

And while that may largely be true, it is decidedly untrue when we’re discussing one Tyson Luke Fury.

What heavyweight in history are you certain would beat this 6-foot-9, 277-pound hulk of a man, who has an uncanny boxing ability, a heart to match his 81-inch frame and an awkward style that is impossible to figure out?

It’s too early in his career and he has too many big fights ahead of him to slap him at the top.
