    Regardless of what you think of Fury he is still beating who's he's fighting.

    If Fury whoops Usyk he's not overrated.

    Fury is more overrated. He's probably shot right now but hiding it and stringing us all along.

    Fury got embarrassed by a Cameroonian wrestler & went life & death with an uncoordinated human stick insect 3 times, despite having 50lbs on him.. everyone admires & appreciates Loma, whereas Fury is little more than a fkin punchline these days

    Yes Fury boxing Wilder up after bieng 350 pound 12 months earlier, demolishing him the 2nd time and then coming in untrained injured in a 3rd bout eating up shots of a legit killer puncher then KO'ing him despite not being a puncher himself. = life and death 3 times.

    The way some here are trashing these fighters records, especially Fury, is ridiculous. You could do the same w/ Ali's record and many other top fighters from the past. Wilder is not 'average', and neither is Chisora. I don't think you know what average means.
    Making absurd exaggerations to make your point only shows you have a strong bias against Fury.

    As to the OP. Lame thread. I don't think either is overrated. They're rated about where they s/ be.

    Nothing against AJ, but I hope Francis does well. But I don't want Francis to KO AJ. That might make AJ retire, and he has some good fights to make before he hangs them up. Why did I add that? Because too many are using Fury's fight w/ FN to trash him. As if Ngannou isn't a top fighter. Last I looked MMA very much includes boxing as part of the sport. Francis is a beast and could give most, if not all, top 10 HWs a good scrap. AJ has the advantage of seeing what FN can do as a boxer. If Francis can drop Fury, he can do the same to AJ.

    If the fight even happens. I wouldn’t be shocked if fury pulls out again.
    Fury brings a whole new meaning to the saying “ get your ducks in a row “

    Fury has a WEAK AF resume for a so-called ATG and H2H monster. Canelo, for all the sh*t given to him, at least fought a bunch of top guys.

    Fury without question.

    While Canelo might be overrated if you rank him as the best Mexican fighter ever or high up in the P4P ratings, he's still fought way harder competition than Fury. Hell, Wilder might not be any better than Kermit Cintron and that's probably Canelo's tenth best win.

    I think Usyk is more over rated at Heavyweight. And his fanboys are really annoying.

    He is because Fury ages Usyk out for years now. And the same with Joshua. Fury wanted Joshua immediately after the Usyk fight when Joshua was broken. Fury is not a man, he is an opportunistic satanistic cult sociopath. His willy is too small .... Second he acts like a member of woke movement sometimes. No wonder that Guy is toxic.

    Generally I don't rate Fury as an good athlete.

    With exception of boxing ... I am super confident that I would destroy him in 9 sports out of 10. I would destroy him in tennis, squash, ping pong, badminton, basketball, Real football (soccer), half marathons, pull UPS, push UPS..... He looks so clumsy and ridiculous out of ring. I think I would beat him in judo too (I did in primary school). Guys like Joshua, Usyk or Hrgovic seems like natural sport supertalents..... Those are perfect fathers for their children.... But Fury? You go to play football with him and he will break his leg during the kicking? That's beyond ridiculous.

    I do have a problem to take him seriously not only as a boxer, but more importantly as a human being. The only thing He has the edge are money.... But even with money... He is still depressed... Why? Because the Reasons I wrote before.

    If Fury is an athlete, I'm Ryan Goslings long lost twin brother.
