    But Fury never fought these guys so you can't compare.

    Come on, name the top 10 that Fury has fought. The list will be marvelously short.

    AJs argument over Fury and Wilder is built around him doing better against common opponents. Which comes from them fighting a lot of the same people. He has 9 Fury/Wilder opponents and the whole theme of his recent rehab tour was beating Fury common opponents. His different opponents since reaching the top are old Povetkin, old Pulev, Charles Martin, Carlos Takam and Jeramine Franklin. And of course Dubois and Andy Ruiz who he lost to. Also AJ fought Dubois(and Martin) because AJ was the challenger and those were the belt holders. Opposed to him challenging himself. Dubois had lost to Usyk and AJ was favored.

    AJ probably does have a higher SOS than Fury and Wilder. Its not better by a lot and they should all be lumped in the same basket of having questionable competition. Him testing himself more than Fury really comes down to Parker who Wilder was willing to fight and whom is Furys training partner and wasn't really looked at as an opponent for Fury. Why is Parker rated so high currently? Because he beat Wilder easily. See how this is circular?

    You seem to think only wins count.

    How many guys not even in the picture like Ruiz has Fury been stopped by? The Ruiz fight was intended to showcase Joshua to the US market. It was meant to make Joshua look good but it was the ultimate cherry pick gone wrong and not only ended in humiliation, ended his planned foray into the US market as well.

    Fury hasn't fought Dubois but could he possibly lose to Dubios in more emphatic fashion that Joshua did? Would it even be possible?

    Looking at how AJ looked better against most common opponents and how weak of a chin Fury now has? Sure.

    Fury always gets up and fights on. Joshua doesn't. He even quit against Ruiz. Have to hand it to Joshua for his break dance moves on the canvas against Dubois though.

    Did Fury look worse vs Wlad, usyk and Whyte?
    No he didn't

    Fury recovers better than Aj and you know it

    Even now you still think Aj is amazing haha

    You seem to think that only losses count. You have taken a stance that quantity of competition does not matter, but only losses two. You judge both fighters on their losses instead of quality of resume.
    Yes, Joshua lost to Ruiz and Dubois. But he also beat Ruiz in the rematch, not matter how many excuses you make for Ruiz. And Dubois is a proven top 10 contender(and paper champion). How many top 10 contenders has Fury fought?
    Edit:
    Yet Fury barely scraped by with a SD over Ngannou, whom Joshua obliterated with ease.

    Well, Joshua always got up and fought too when he was given a chance.

    He did look worse against Usyk than AJ in the rematch imo. Looked better against Wlad and Whyte. Looked worse against any other common opponent. Fury recovers better, for sure. And nope, I don't think AJ is amazing, but Fury isn't either, lol.

    Fury has a disappointing resume.
    Dereck Chisora is clearly on the same level as 2018 Parker, Takam, 2020 Pulev, Ruiz .... but Fury didn't have to fight him THREE TIMES. He could have fought one of those others, or someone at that level, a couple of times instead. For the sake of variety.

    @MaccaveliMacc

    I deleted my last post. I think I will discontinue our conversations regarding Heavyweight boxing. Pointless

    Feel free to debate other weight classes if you wish, or don't

    Enjoy the forum
