    It is not a bad choice, because he beat Joshua, but it is hard to give it to a fighter that is so inconsistent. It is the same thing with all the "how good was Tim Witherpoon?" threads. His skills were good enough to be ATG. In reality, he was a guy who would fight drained from a coke binge and still somehow thirty pound overweight.

    The Big Three Remain:

    1. Tyson Fury
    2. Deontay Wilder
    3. Anthony Joshua

    All smacktalk aside, they are the only fighters who could realistically win all the belts.

    Povetkin can't. Hunter can't. Whyte can't. Ruiz can't. Everyone knows it.

    Wilder has demonstrated nothing to indicate that he could win all the belts. What we know is that Fury can take his best shot when he is not even 100%.

    Nothing has changed for those who knew all along that Whyte was overrated as hell

    Should have been DQ'd. Wlad was deathly afraid.

    Povetkin has a decent chance but Haye? Behave yourself that man was nothing special at heavyweight. Also Prime Povetkin would beat the Fury who got dropped by Cunningham and went life and death with Wallin. Make of that as you will.

    Povetkin arguably lost to Huck who cunningham stopped , we can all pick & choose like that rather than look in the round lol.. I don't know why people keep citing the Cunningham fight as evidence that certain fighters would beat Fury, by that logic WK & Wilder should have..

    What more does fury have to do before people at least start admitting the guy is legit! He dethroned two ATG punchers in WK & DW & made it look fairly easy, schooled & battered peak Chisora (twice!) who went onto push Vitali all the way & years later arguably beat Whyte first time round.. & Wallin might turn out to be pretty good anyway. Fury is known to fight down to the level of an opponent sometimes too..

    Fury is an awful style match up for Povetkin. A tall, rangey, multi faceted boxer/spoiler type with a high ring IQ who uses the ring well , can adapt & has terrific movement & recovery powers..

    Look at both of their careers in the round. They aren't on the same level. Klitschko rag dolled and pulverised him. In fact Many of APs fights that he's won have been competitive affairs whereas fury is mostly dominant over all of his give or take one or two. APs been dropped & hurt much more than fury too..

    Punchers chance. That's it. & im a Povetkin fan.. If they fight now I'd put a grand on Fury beating him comfortable. He's too good for him..

    Furys physicality is underrated too. Incredibly strong fighter. Deceptively so..

    Yeah, Fury can rag you like no other heavy, unsettle you an leave you disorganised whilst hitting you with heavy clubbing shots, then he can move and be as slick as ****..

    Go suck Joshua's dick. Haye was very good in his prime, he'd have sparked Joshua out fast.

    Would have been Harrison mk2.

    It's just a shame Joshua fought old Wlad and Povetkin, because otherwise he'd have been KO'd cold by both.
