    Why do you have Takam, Wallin, Helenius, and a 40 year old Pulev on his record wins. Hell Ruiz is already questionable

    Because if I take them off then Wilder and Fury have about one noteworthy win a piece.

    Still rank Fury’s higher although that Ngannou performance is a serious scalp. Usyk’s overall record is far better but at heavyweights he’s only had 5 fights so I don’t consider him in this conversation.

    Loss: NOMAS7 to Andy Ruiz Jr.
    Loss: Usyk moves up from CW and dominates him in his back yard
    Loss: Usyk moves up from CW and dominates him in his back yard, literally cries about it to the whole stadium


    Added some notes.

    So Usyk moved up from CW twice to fight Joshua did he?

    F*** me you're an embarrassment.

    Wouldn't the guy who beat Joshua twice have a better resume?

    Every time he cycles off he's back down to CW, our guy Usyk.

    Go make some frothy posts about how an 0-1 MMA fighter is a great win.

    AJ is definitely the #1 HW now. Eddie said it. Someone got washed twice by this Ukrainian guy but I can't remember. Couldn't have been AJ.

    That’s not how this works, also he’s only had a handful of fights at heavyweight.
    A resume is the list of opposition you have faced and their value as an opponent either adds weight to your resume or becomes irrelevant.
    There’s multiple factors that can contribute to an opponent’s worth on your resume.
    Were they a champion at the time, were they undefeated, were they in decline, their previous results its a pretty endless list of why they strengthen your resume.
    It’s never going to be definitive but that’s the beauty of it.
    Rankings at the time and championships are pretty much the final word in most situations.

    This guy has a degree in internet boxing resume arguments. Look at him explain the rules of resume value LOL

    Losses don't count because his favorite fighter has some ugly losses to fat Andy and undersized Usyk.

    41 year old Klitschko is better than 39 year old champion Klitschko because he doesn't like Fury

    The point was there’s no rules mate, it’s what you value was my point maybe I didn’t explain that very well but the main point was that it’s subjective
