    lol, Wilder needs to retire, Zhang is a bigger threat to AJ despite his age and AJ is only 2 years younger than Fury who has constantly ducked AJ.

    The punches that destroyed Francis would destroy Wilder too, Wilder leaves himself open by falling off balance after punching.

    Agree and I am no fan of AJ. AJ has been willing to take chances and fight the best through his career. Wilder fought a bunch oh handpicked bums and Fury. That’s it.

    What has that got to do with Usyk's undefeated record ? Hes spent most of his career at Cruiserweight and cleaned out the strongest Cruiserweight division in history.

    The reason Usyk has only had 5 fights at Heavyweight is because of covid, and because Fury ducked him and wasted his time for almost 2 years fighting an MMA fighter and Chisora 3rd time.

    As for dubious win over Dubois ? I seem to remember Dubois quitting after a jab from Usyk ?

    As for trying to compare Usyk fighting Chisora and Fury fighting Chisora a 3rd time absolutely laughable. Usyk was new to the division and needed a durable fringe contender to test the waters. Fury is supposed to be the Lineal Heavyweigt champion, and fought the same fighter for a 3rd time hes already beaten twice comfortably who wasn't even ranked in the top 10!!!!! Not to mention it was 2 years after the Usyk fight.

    No but you can see him getting slapped around by Ngannou instead.

    Yeh but Wilder has no chin or heart either. Plus no skills which means Joshua wins.

    Still won so does it really matter?

    Depends who you ask and what you mean with the word matter. He got embarrassed and looked terrible in front of the whole world and then Joshua mopped up afterwards making Fury look even worse. His reputation suffered badly. Joshua has three losses and is still a major contender. Fury has no official losses and is seen as a ducking cowardly joke. So you might ask the question does Joshua's ancient loss to Ruiz matter anymore? To Joshua haters, always. To the rest of the boxing community probably not.

    Ancient? AJ was arguably in his prime at the time.

    Fury looked bad against Ngannou, but he still ultimately won and is evidently past his best. AJ in his prime got stopped. Clear difference.

    Uh huh. And no one really cares besides AJ hating casuals looking to score cheap points to bring him down. He redeemed himself. Fury just runs away from fights he doesn't do well in and now he needs to beat Usyk to avoid looking like a joke because Joshua and Parker already showed him up.

    Does it really matter ? Of course it matters it was the supposed Lineal Heavyweight champion vs an MMA fighter.....it was a total embarrassment for the sport of boxing how bad Fury looked vs a novice with no professional fights.

    As for clearly winning ? So getting dropped and winning a SD in a highly controversial decision is your idea of winning clearly......ok then.

    AJ has fought young or prime versions of Whyte, Parker, Ruiz, Wallin, and gotten Wins. He lost to Peak Usyk. He also has defeated post prime versions of Pulev, Povetkin and Wlad.

    It’s a real good resume.

    Uh huh all you want. Running behind the jab didn't redeem AJ "the KO artist" against Ruiz.

    If anything AJ is just following in Fury's footsteps fighting his old opponents while Fury is gearing up for undisputed. In the meantime AJ could be fighting other top 5 opponents but he isn't.

    We know AJ ducked fury last year or two years ago, cause I remember Eddie Hearn coming out and saying AJ can’t fight fury cause of some promotional brand rights, which at the time I remember thinking was the worst excuse I’ve ever heard.

    However, he would definitely fight fury now, especially as fury is on the decline while Aj seems to have improved
