Someone explain the forced narrative of AJ having The Best HW Resume

I'm not sure how anyone lists Wlad on both resumes as an apples to apples comparison. When you go up against a dominant champion on a historic win streak in his back yard and win in a way that no one thought possible, you've achieved something great. When that same fighter attempts to come back at 41, two years out of the ring, having utilized speed as one of his main strengths, there is SIGNIFICANTLY less on the table to be had. Wlad-Joshua was a shootout that could've gone either way. The only thing it proved is that a younger Vladdy would be a strong favorite to beat any version of Joshua. Fury befuddled the more prime version of Klitschko in a manner that left you feeling he could do it time and again.

These wins; the best wins for both fighters, are not even close to being equal.

Parker, Whyte, and Old Povetkin are all simply a level below. Taking Parker's 0 is a good victory, but he has since shown what his ceiling is. Dillian Whyte is awful and would probably get f****** up by Joe Joyce or a young Chisora. Povetkin is absolutely ancient and was near 40 when Joshua got to him.

Ruiz...should we even be putting the 282lb butterbean saudia arabian version of Ruiz on anyone's resume? Let's certainly not forget the fact that he smashed Joshua and made him quit in their first encounter, which no one seems to factor in when they look at resume strength.

As bad as Wilder is at certain things and as poor as his resume is, we cannot rewrite him being the danger man of the division. The HW division was very, very interesting a year ago because there were three fighters who all had a legitimate shot at taking over. No one gave a s*** about AJ's win over average Joe Parker and old Povetkin back then, what happened? Fury beating Wilder twice in his back yard is massive. There's no way around it. Undefeated Wilder-Joshua would've been a billion dollar mega fight and the win of the decade for whomever won.

The bottom line is, Fury's win over a near prime Vlad in Germany is almost as good as all of AJ's resume combined. The fact that Fury beat the third face of this HW trio, twice, in his back yard, with two different styles, puts him far, far ahead of a Joshua who has been battered by Ruiz.

 

39 year old Vladdo was near his prime. I would say his peak was about 35. He was ring p4p #2 at age 38 I believe.
