    Aren't you the guy that makes Anthony Joshua hate threads all the time ? And you want to talk about spamming ? That's pretty rich coming from you.

    As for no one agreeing with me ? You might want to get your eyes checked because 36 members liked my original post.

    Wilder is probably going down with a higher ATG ranking than Bowe. That's what happens when you're a double digit title defense guy.

    I don't think so that's why fighters like Virgil Hill aren't ranked highly amongst ATG Light Heavyweights despite his number of title defences because its about context.

    Wilder has only beaten 2 ranked Heavyweights so no he doesn't rate higher than Bowe.

    Bowe only beat one ranked Heavyweight if we subtract the guy who earned a ranking by beating the crap out of him and getting DQ'd. And of course Wilder has a successful title defense against an undefeated ATG heavyweight champion.

    Bowe beat 4 ranked fighters and holds a win over an ATG in his prime Holyfield. Not to mention Bowe won his famous trilogy unlike Wilder who had 0 wins in his trilogy.

    So yes Bowe ranks above Wilder.

    All the Fury Haterade.

    The first post of this thread obviously hasn't aged well.

    To put it all in perspective, Fury was the lineal HW champ and in 37 fights has only lost twice, in competitive decisions, to a man now bruited about as Top-10 if not Top-5 ATG status. And Fury's never been KO'ed (OK, cue everybody saying "Thanks to the intervention of ref Mark Nelson"... ;))

    Yes, Fury can be a blustery clown, but he's undeniably helped sell tickets. That's put a lot more $$ in a lot more fighters' pockets.

    That said, I hear some pundits saying they think Fury is the one other than Usyk most likely to be able to handle Itauma. Actually, when I think of an Itauma-Fury match-up I get flashbacks to Tyson-Holmes....

    How hasn't it aged well ? Fury hasn't won a fight since this thread was made. And retired with his tail between his legs after getting humbled by Usyk twice and won't even come out of retirement and fight a past it Joshua.

    I think it's aged incredibly well actually.

    Are you Spencer Fearon?

    Your views are very similar.

    Did you make a thread after Joshua's best win in 7 years, Otto Wallin, got destroyed by a 41 year old shot Chisora?

    You're running for village idiot with this.

    As I said aren't you the guy who keeps making Joshua hate threads ? I think calling me a village idiot is an oxymoron considering your posting habits.

    Actually I'll correct myself: It's the second post of this thread (the one speculating Fury would dust Usyk) that hasn't aged well. ;)

    But I still stick with my basic point: While Fury lost both times to Usyk, he still made a good account of himself in both fights. His resume's a pretty good one. How many HW fighters can you show me -- today or in yesteryear -- who amassed 37 fights with only two losses, both by (relatively close) decision, to a guy acclaimed as an ATG?

    But I get it.... it's fun to poke a loudmouth braggart. And Fury is a loudmouth braggart.... who helped revive the business of boxing from the torpor it fell into during the Klitschko era.

    Here's the issue I have with your post.

    You keep saying he's only lost twice but he hasn't fought that many top contenders.

    Yes the Wladimir win was a good one in context but Wladimir was also at the end of his career.

    The Wladimir win should've been the start of something but then Fury went on a hiatus for 3 years.

    Since that he's beaten Wilder, Whyte, and that's it.

    And whilst Fury was competitive vs Usyk he still clearly lost twice.

    Fury had talent especially for a big man but his resume is too thin for me and he didn't fulfil his early promise after the Wladimir win.

    I also think Fury has had too many poor performances overall and this is despite only fighting 4 ranked contenders in his whole career.

    So like I said Fury for me is overrated in that regard that's not to say that I think he's a bad fighter not at all. I just don't think he was as good as what the media and fans portrayed him to be they were saying he was a great and H2H one of the best of all time.

    Did you though? That's the premise of this thread. Otto got beat by Chisora. Otto is Joshua's best win in 7 years.

    Imagine 7 years and all you have to show for it is Otto Wallin, then he gets destroyed by Chisora. Ouch. Worse than whatever **** is getting bumped in this thread about Whyte.

    Great thread though.

    The difference between me and you is you've made 30+ Joshua hate threads and clearly you're very emotionally invested in hating on Joshua like its personal and it's borderline obsessive.

    The difference between me and you also is I can be objective I can give Fury credit whether I like him or not or whether or not I think hes overrated.

    The only Heavyweight I like in the modern era is Usyk and possibly Itauma although it's early days for Itauma.

    You're discrediting Joshua in this thread again for whatever reason ? But It bothers you more than it does me otherwise you wouldn't keep making Joshua threads ranting about him.

    I think Whyte was shot by that point he hadn't scored a good win in years and looked terrible vs Franklin immediately afterwards. You'd have to be rating him based on wins years earlier not his current state.

    Had Jones retired after Ruiz he'd be widely rated top 5 p4p. The comparison is silly because Jones career accomplishments bury Fury.
