    Hold on there, give it some time. Usyk has also beaten Dubois, and if DD goes on to have a significant reign, and I think he will based on the fact that a lot of the other good guys will be retiring, then its over time a good boost for Usyk.

    Also, AJ will be back. When Usyk retires, the belts will be divided in four, and he is GOING to be walked into one. Both of these guys can still add to the resume.

    Those were 1 shot KO's. Joshua's KO losses were one sided blow outs and long sustained beatings that shorten careers or leave a fighter completely shot afterwards.

    Sadly, it seems AJ is finished.

    I think 96000 people seeing him dismantle Joshua like that will secure him the bag now mate the casuals will love him now and think he is top dog on the back of being 'robbed' of a KO against Usyk even though anyone with a brain cell knows he got stopped by a Jab. Maybe that night and the flak he recieved galvanised him as a fighter because since then he is probably the form fighter in the HW division excluding Usyk.

    So how does Fury have the superior resume?

    Many had him in the top 10, including Ring and TBRB.

    The heavyweight division is on FIRE!
    Usyk upset Fury and unified the division.
    Dubois won his last two fights via upset.
    Parker won his last two fights via upset.
    Kabayel won his last two fights via upset.

    Then we have Zhang, Bakole, Ajagba, Hrgovic, Whyte, Wallin, Miller, and many more like the corpses of: Joshua, Joyce, Chisora, Wilder, Ortiz, Ruiz.
    Lot´s of interesting fights to be made, especially at the top level.

    Resumes aren't just judged on wins. Losses count too and Joshua has 4 now and 2 were by stoppage.

    The claim was that Joshua is manufactured and a protected fighter. He rematched two of the guys who beat him, which further proves the BS claim of him being a protected fighter.
    ArseBandit also claimed that his resume was ****, but he himself only managed to think of two guys who have better resumes: Fury and Usyk.

    Fury hasn't lost 4 times.

    Does Fury lose to Ruiz? Definitely not. Does Fury lose to Dubois? I think I'd probably lean towards Fury in that fight.

    OK, and? The claim was that Joshua is the protected fighter and hasn´t fought anyone of note. Yet his resume dunks on Fury as Joshua has fought twice as many top contenders and champions.

    Even if you think that Fury is better simply because he only lost to Usyk, doesn´t change the fact that Joshua tested himself more. "Does Fury loose to Ruiz/Dubois?" He never fought any of them, but Joshua did.
    Fury fought not a single top 10 guys before Wlad. He then fought Wilder, Whyte and Usyk. That´s 4 legitimate top 10 guys in his entire career. What a superb resume. Thing of legends.
