    Well a year ago I would have said Fury but nobody rates Fury now anyway so Canelo

    Canelo, Crawford and Lomachenko are the most overrated fighters of this era and will be forgotten to the sands of time.

    Fury & Usyk the most underrated.

    Fury is way overrated thanks to the soft-as-pudding era he barely made his way through. Managed to avoid all the difficult rematches as well as AJ and Usyk for as long as he could.

    Canelo on the other hand likes to stack the deck every which way but he did actually face the best that were around. I have to tip my hat to the ginger biscuit for that much.

    Fury got knocked out by N'Gannou, I don't think Canelo would lose to an MMA fighter in his weight class.

    Fury actually won his big fights, though...

    Fury doesn't have big fights. Trilogies with average fighters like Wilder and Chisora means nothing.... The only good win was Klitschko, but more agressive Klitschko would destroy Fury in a rematch.... Fury was scared against Klitschko in rematch.

    Lost to McDermott, dirty against Cunningham..... Ngannou almost beated him, boxing amateur...... Wallin would TKO if not corrupted refs...... Those are terrible results.

    Old Wlad was his best win and he dodged the rematch. Wilder was always overrated AF and everybody was saying it before their match.

    While I agree that Canelo arguably lost some of his biggest fights, he had the stones to rematch GGG and he had more big fights than just those. I find Canelo's resume much more convincing than Fury's. If he beats Usyk, that may change.

    With that attitude no doubt you're going to cry that usky was old small and Fury cheated by roughhousing him.

    At one point in time, serious boxing analysts were calling Fury a top 5 ATG HW.

    No one besides blatant Canelo lovers have ever said Canelo was a top 5 at any weight.

    Fury wins this war...easily.

    It's one thing to have won a robbery/debatable decision against GGG and Lara; it's quite another thing to have contentious wins over John McDermott and a 0-0 boxing novice.
