    Fury's a helluva boxer. I'll never deny that. One win away from me eating the whole crow pie.

    Well, you seem like a solid fellow. One of those who can admit when he was wrong about a guy instead of harboring resentment over it. A kudos for that.

    He might of surpassed AJ but definitely not Wlad.
    AJ and Wlad shouldn't be in the same sentence this early in AJ's career. Maybe later. Lewis, Wlad, Holmes were long time dominate champions.
    And Fury doesn't belong to that class...yet.

    I should clarify, to a point @Tramell made earlier;

    The "it" Ali lost when he refused the draft was the WBC and WBA. The lineage never left him 'til he met Joe Frazier in the ring. In his heart, Joe knew he needed to beat Ali to be the man. Just as Joshua knows, in his heart, that he needs to beat Fury.

    Whether the bout is held in Vegas or Saudi, Anthony Joshua's dreams will lay dead in the desert.

    True I am aware he was the lineal as is the case with Fury. 2 boxers stopped briefly for their own reasons- Came back no ABC belt but a lineal.

    I'm not pro-lineal. I respect it, but not how I rate great fighters. For me one can't stay away for a year, two or 3 then demand to be called the real champ. It happens, but I don't roll like that. When Floyd retired and came back, same thing. I knew he was the man when he left, but active fighters get my accolades, not boxers on a hiatus.
