(1) The OP doesn't say GOAT HW, it says GOAT. Obviously no HW is going to be GOAT in an all weight discussion.
(2) This forum is really biased against Fury and I can't even imagine the levels of butthurt, excuse-making and minimisation there will be if he wins. Which I think he will.
(3) I'm not going to C&P my post in the other thread but I'll just point out
Joe Louis was 6'2", ~200lbs with a 76" reach. What do you think 6'9", ~260lbs, 85" reach Fury would do to him lol.

Fury isn't anywhere near contention for the GOAT. I don't consider this list as an ordered ranking. It just shows how much deeper the accomplishments of actual HW greats are.

Even with a win over Usyk, he still needs to beat AJ to put his stamp down as the best of this era because AJ.
...and that would still be shaky because he spent years farting around and hasn't fought any of the current crop of contenders.
I don't care that Fury talked about being the GOAT to hype himself, but the fact that so many boxing commentators, especially in the UK, went along with it is obscene and bad for the sport.
