I wouldn't think Fury would be leapfrogged for losing 2 decisions. Joshua beat Parker is rated higher due to subsequent wins and losses. Completely get that and I think that may have been the loss to Dubois. Fury hasn't beaten a top 10 rated HW for over two and a half years. Dubois has beaten two in under a year and Undefeated Miller in just slightly over a year Where does the time come when you start to look at monthly ratings?
Goung i to the rematch, Usyk and Fury were the 1 & 2 in the division. Don't see how that changes after Fury lost. If Dubious wants the 2 spot, he needs to earn it by beating Fury. Then he gets his rematch with Usyk.
I agree Usyk has declined now, though I would argue Usyk wouldn't have declined much in the 9 months between the Dubois fight and the first Fury fight. No doubt Dubois has gotten better since hooking up with Don Charles, better head movement, more grit, learned to counter and overall found a style that has utilised his attributes to a greater effect. Head to head I'd still favour Fury. Usyk is the only one to beat Fury and he didn't do it by just ploughing forward like Dubois does. Dubois has yet to show he can beat anyone on the level of Fury.
Ituama may well achieve more and have a higher ceiling than these guys. But at the moment? He’d have no chance against Fury or Dubois. Way too soon for him.
Dubois is the number 1 of the new generation and if Fury was to retire he would be the official number 1. It is impossible to make a case for any of the up and comers like Wardley or Itauma being above Dubois.
He already lost to Joyce and Usyk already, and he was knocked by an unknown guy called Lerena. I think Parker will beat him.
Why did you have Fury at #2 going in to the rematch? He was 2-1 in his last 3 fights, hadn't beaten a top HW for a while with his last wi. Being over a fighter making his debut. Before that was Chisora Dubois last 3 fights Joshua top 10 rated Hrgovic top 10 rated Undefeated Miller Undefeated
