    Joe Joyce should be on the shortlist of candidates too.

    If you are using the metric of being beaten 3 out of last 5 fights I think maybe Joshua

    Joshua isn't active enough which means that he hasn't won a fight in over 2 years, that's not greatness.

    What you don't understand is Joshua is a throwback fighter who will fight all comers.

    Unless it's for the chance to regain a world title and you don't get as much sponsorship money as you would like

    If you are using the metric of going 1-1 with an obese Mexican middleweight, 0-2 with a feather fisted little cruiserweight then having an in ring post fight glitch out then it has to be big josh, agreed

    Any other metric and it’s Fury, the big dog.

    No doubt at heavyweight and will be above Taylor for me should he beat Usyk to become undisputed.

    What an end to the comeback journey as never seen this coming at all after the Klitschko stinker and 2 year meltdown.

    AJ. Deepest resume, most commercial success, sells out stadiums time after time. It's not even close.
