    Yeah, I rate Cunningham as well. It was an oversight on my part to miss him off. He's one of those guys like Takam who was a lot better than his resume suggests. He almost always ran fighters close or outright beat them but got jobbed on the cards.

    Got KOed by Fury after brutal wars with Joshua, Chisora, Parker, Rivas and a KO from hell against Povetkin. Shopworn? Yes, very.

    Would he be considered a good win on Fury's resume? And if not, who would you put above him?

    Wins against Hammer, Dimitrenko, blasted out Duhaupas (who Wilder could do nothing to), smashed Dave Allen to pieces. The Duhaupas destruction alone shows how dangerous he was.

    Who cares? Wilder's all talk and no action. He really wants the fight and he'll make it happen. Joshua fought Klitschko and Usyk. He's not going anywhere.

    Yeah it is. But everyone's in the same boat.

    Joshua wasn't out on his feet or dropped multiple times by jabs and cuffing blows. It's not comparable.

    So he said. Could be an excuse. Forrest is known for causing fighters problems down the stretch.

    Whose resume is demonstrably better? Fury's? That's just blind fanboy talk. Stop being a fanboy.

    So two names, one of which is shared with Joshua. OK. That's a weak argument.

    Two professional boxers, one in the top ten, the other of whom is the best of his generation and a man Fury is proven to be ducking.

    No 0-0-0 Cameroonian wrestlers in sight.

    Bowe never fought Tony Tucker. Dokes was completely washed up. So was Pink. Beating Holyfield the 1st time is the best win but ending Wlad’s 18 fight title defense is bigger win than 3rd Holyfield bout where Holyfield clearly had pulmonary issues. If he hadn’t he probably finishes Bowe. Wilder to me is overrated but lot of ppl rate him highly and his big right hand. For me Fury at least faced punchers that were a threat. Wlad, Wilder and Whyte. Bowe fought in an era of Tyson, Lewis, Morrison, Briggs, Mercer, Moorer, Tua just to name a few and missed/avoided them all. Bad look

    Joshua beat an almost retired man and after almost two years wk.
    There is no comparison in summary, Joshua did not beat anyone

    And if Fury beats Usyk and AJ there will be excuses about how that didn't mean anything.
    It'll be the Vitali really won thing all over again.

    Whyte is no puncher, get real. Average for a hw. Bowe was a ducker, no doubt, but Fury is the supreme goat when it comes to ducking.

    Fury at least faced big Punchers in Wlad and Wilder 3 times. Bowe didn’t. I agree Fury ducked the Wlad rematch and is running scared of Usyk but Bowe really is the king of duckers. Fought no big punchers and threw away his belt in the trash can to avoid Lewis.

    at least you dropped the delusion whyte is a big puncher. fury avoided him until a 41 year old nearly decapitated him. i despise fury and bowe, but bowe was the far more accomplished fighter. fury would have ducked prime bowe like he ducked 39 year old ustinov.

    Whyte is a solid puncher not on the level of Wlad or Wilder but just ask Lucas Browne if he can punch. I’m not sure Bowe is the “far” more accomplishing fighter I will say that Bowe missed far more worthy opponents than Fury has. But they both duckers. We’ll see if Fury ever faces Usyk win or lose he has to take that fight.

    everyone knew forty something bum lucas browne was getting knocked out in that fight. his only accomplishment was a hail mary while juiced to the gills vs way overweight 5-11 russian dude. the fight was considered a joke beforehand.
