About the same…I wouldn’t rate Fury among the top 20 HWs of all time (upon further review I can see the Gypsy King somewhere between 20-50) but the dude is a stylistic nightmare for just about anybody. Boxing is matchups; some boxers of lesser skill and talent can give fits to certain boxers due to stylistic differences, mental makeup, mind games , etc. Someone like Ken Norton, despite being somewhat lumbering and less fundamentally sound, gave Ali fits over 3 fights with his strength and awkwardness.
Wilder got that far because of that devastating right hand and the dearth of elite, quality heavyweights. But he’s definitely a one trick pony — although it was a pretty good trick. I’d say based on his ability and late start in the game, he absolutely maxed out; but I think some of the big greats of the 70s, or even guys like Lennox Lewis or Larry Holmes (with that jab) would’ve handled Wilder quite easily .
Mythical matchups are sometimes interesting if a bit silly. Comparing heavyweights of different ears offers some challenges because dudes are just bigger; 220-230 lbs used to be a “big” heavyweight…Usyk is considered small but he’s now fights around 230.
Cheers…
