Muhammad Ali’s legacy highlighted as Shakur Stevenson ranks Tyson Fury above him

Shakur Stevenson, a two‑division champion, told Paramount Boxing that a prime Tyson Fury would have been hard to beat and likely would have defeated Muhammad Ali. He cited Fury’s size (6 ft 9, 282 lb), his victory over Deontay Wilder, and recent wins over Arslanbek Makhmudov and Mariusz Wach.

Muhammad Ali, born Cassius Clay in Louisville, Kentucky, won Olympic gold in 1960, became a three‑time heavyweight champion, and remains famous for iconic bouts against Sonny Liston, George Foreman and Joe Frazier, as well as his civil‑rights activism and refusal to be drafted for the Vietnam War.
