When people refer to classic Fury, they're generally talking about the one at the very end of the ALan Moore Mad Jim Jaspers series. That version WAS pretty powerful, though I think he gets overrated (as he really defeated Jaspers via weakness exploitation). Before it absorbed the giant super computer, though, it killed every superhero on its world (though, again, how impressive this is is debatable since we don't know the power levels of those heroes). After, it was unstoppable...for Captain Britain and his band of heroes/villains.
When it came back, though, the X Men DID defeat it, and so far as I know that's a direction continuation.
The most recent reference, 'The Furies' in Astonishing X Men Neogenesis, was instantly the least impressive version I've yet seen.
I don't know much about the fury. So I just looked up a wiki on him which says that Jamie braddock created a copy of te fury which the xmen defeated and was not the real thing. Does anything know if the wiki is right? I really don't know

"in some cases because the writer knows that Character A will dominate Character B easily and refuses to allow this to happen for the sake of the story."
And even that feat took Fury 2 years to accomplish.

At any rate, Fury's best feat (imo) was tanking the destruction of universe-238. That said, I'm not convinced that the JLA lineup can cause much lasting damage to it. /shrug
