    Beating same limited guy three times not that impressive. We know Fury robbed from victory first fight and destroyed Wilder in second fight. Third fight not really do much. Third fight worst performance than second fight

    Fury need fight Usyk. Usyk will prove world wrong again

    It depends who else can beat Wilder 3 out of 3.
    I wouldn't expect many of the current HWs to be able to, if any. Wilder is no easy task, he's dangerous.

    Beating Wilder 3-0 (or 2-0-1 on official cards) is better than 1-1 against Ruiz Jr., for example, or 1-1 against old Povetkin, for example.

    It's same guy. Impressive name on Fury resume but same guy three times ? And limited guy at that ? Impressive base on what ? We never seen Wilder fight anybody decent. Luis Ortiz ? lol ortiz is Pulev tier. Decent nothing special and Wilder got face boxed off by mediocre until ko

    Bowe arguably beat Holyfield three times which mean Bowe >>> Wlad ? Not exactly

    Fury doesn't have a great resume but it stacks up well against any other current active HW.

    Joshua as of right now is a LOSER.

    We don't even know how good Wilder was.
    He hasn't beaten anyone of note before fighting Fury, not even someone on 39 year old Povetkin's level.
    For all we know Wilder can be at the level of Charles Martin.

    Charles Martin beat Gerald Washington with more ease than Wilder

    He does now. . He may also be the only HW to clearly win all 3 fights of a trilogy. Also a 6 year Lineal / Ring Champ :eusa_dance:

    Joshua has more wins over ranked opposition but Fury has the better top wins.

    Wilder beat Stiverne (in 2015) and Ortiz (in 2018 and 2019). Those were the best he beat.

    not a Joshua “Fan.”
    Actually like Fury better.

    but AJ has fought the better fighters.
    The 2 losses you mention
    Fury has not fought them.

    it not about losses it’s about the level of competition you face.

    see “showtime” Shawn porter as a great example of that. Best resume in his division (after Pac retired) despite the losses.

    Also see the Undefeated Terrance “Bud” Crawford as the anti example = Poor WW resume.

    Losses mean little to nothing when it comes to the level of competition the fighters are facing.

    Joshua is 4th in the division. H2H I see it as:

    Fury
    Wilder
    Usyk
    Joshua
    Ruiz

    I think wilder beats Joshua cos he will land his fast haymakers first. Wilder vs Usyk is interesting but I think Wilders messy wild swings will throw off the “boxer”. Can’t box with a boxer, gotta rough then up.

    stylistically, don’t see Usyk beating Fury.

    Fury doesn’t have many top names on his resume.but knocking out wilder twice and ending the reign of Klitschko is better than anything that Joshua has done overall,when you consider he beat Klitschko two years before Joshua.
    I am sick of listening to Eddie Hearn brag about joshuas wins over Eric molina,Dominic breazeale and Charles Martin and to then diss fury for fighting Otto wallin.wallin took breazeale to school and I expect wallin to outpoint whyte in a very close fight,whether he gets the decision or not remains to be seen.

    I bet AJ would swap his resume with Fury in a heartbeat given the chance

    I was replying to them, when they said they felt Usyk in 3 HW fights has a better HW resume than Fury
    Not anything to do with Joshua

    No mistake about it. Tyson Fury has taken the bigger fights. Facing an undefeated Wlad for ten plus years with 18 title defences in Germany and beating Wilder in the US three times and one in a brutal slugfest is not a joke.
