A show of hands please. Who is "the man at HW now

Fury is clearly number one right now for me.

Beating Wilder alone wouldn't of done it, I mean it is only Wilder but with Joshua losing to Ruiz and losing his aura of invincibility it's made him the underdog.

 

Fury is the #1, no doubt about it for me. Being Ring magazine champ further defines that.

He's gone to the champions backyard twice now and dethroned them - one of whom had dominated the division being undefeated for over a decade and the other being undefeated in 40+ fights.

 

You can make the argument for Fury. He's held all the belts at one time or another and he's unbeaten in the ring.
But there won't be a 'real' champ until they've all fought

 

Has to be Fury. I am surprised there is even debate.

 

Fury is the man at heavyweight, Joshua is his #1 challenger.

 

Fury.

 

Fury 100%

Argue about resumes all you want, but check these facts

Fury travelled to beat a long reigning champion

He also travelled twice to beat another belt holder

Say what you want about Wilder, but Fury stepped up to the plate and effectively beat him twice after losing 150 lbs and returning from drink/drug addiction

In contrast AJ lost a fight to a guy that is a walking heart attack and ran away for 12 rounds from the walking heart attack, who somehow had gained even more weight!!

 

Fury would have had the same thing happen to him. He would've lost the fight to the Swedish farmer if there wasn't so much money to be made in the Wilder rematch.

 

He beat the Swedish farmer the last time I checked

He didn't spit out his gum shield and quit like a dog

You can speak on ifs and buts all you want

Fury is undefeated and AJ was blasted all around the ring by a guy that weighed 30 stone

 

Fury and AJ share the spot until they battle it out.

Fury seems like the best candidate for the spot right now and he’s undefeated but AJ has a legit claim too.
Luckily, Fury said he’s got two fights left in him, we know who he’s embarrassing again next so that leaves 1 more - maybe AJ.

 

Because the ring doctor let it continue. That cut was worse than Vitali Klitschko's, and they stopped that fight. If it were anybody else, the fight would have been stopped and the Swedish farmer would have got the victory because it was a punch that cut Fury, not a clash of heads

Getting up after four knockdowns isn't a quit. If he wanted to quit he wouldn't have got up

Whereas Fury has actually weighed 30 stone

 

AJ loss was a disgrace, no doubt about it, but **** happens and I’d rather see them lose than only pick 100% winnable fights.
No point in having 40-0 if they’re all cans, ask Wilder.

As for who’s better AJ or Fury then skill wise it’s obviously Fury, but AJ is a unified champ who beat their common opponent in a lot more convincing fashion.
As much as I think Fury could easily wind up undisputed champ if he cares enough to fight Joshua, no reason to bash any of them based on a few hick ups along the way.

 

Fury has weighed 30 stone and yet he is back to being the number 1 HW in the world

What a guy

AJ did quit, he was all over the place and spat his gum shield out

He also ran for his life in the rematch

I can't wait until Fury beats the bodybuilding fraud into retirement
