    One of the worst lists I've seen so far, lol. Bruno at number 3 is a good joke tho.

    Lewis is Canadian and Fury is Irish so Dave Allen takes the top spot.

    Lewis is the best.

    Second is up for debate but I have it as AJ present due to having a much better record than Fury in terms wins over quality opponents.

    Which AJ won the return fight. Whilst you could argue Fury should of lost to both Wallin and Ngannou who AJ made easy work of.

    Funny how everyone consider Lewis the true winner of his first fight against Hollyfield. The same with GGG against Canelo in their first fight. However with Fury, you should ignore what actually happens in the ring and go soley on the judges scores.


    How did AJ lose to Wlad? AJ stopped Wlad.

    AJ ruined against Wlad? AJ has since beaten Parker, Povetkin, Ruiz, Pulev and Wallin.

    Fury looked very relaxed for most of the fight, while AJ looked like a deer in headlights all 24 rounds in there

    You could say he was so relaxed that at times it was only the ropes holding him up.

    He was desperately trying to look relaxed and comfortable while getting outboxed and losing rounds.

    Let AJ and Fury fight. Whoever wins is higher in the listing.

    That used to be the old school way. Now it seems the fans do it for them so they don’t have to

    Some of the mental gymnastics these 'fans' do for their obsession is sometimes impressive.

    Fury showboated like a clown and you lapped it up like a sucker.
    Fury hit Usyk with a few shots, no more than Joshua hit him with.

    Only sucker is you thinking Joshua did anything like OK when he was stiff and scared throughout. Fury was way more fluid comfortable and skilful. You won’t catch AJ saying he was “having fun in there” that’s for sure but lap up what you want to big man.
