    They beat old man Klitschko. Neither would stand a chance versus a prime Wlad or Vit.

    You'd be a moron then. Usyk carried Chisora because he knew if he destroyed Chisora no amount of money would have ever gotten Fury to the ring. Fury ducked every decent live body his whole career who wasn't washed up. Chisora and bum ass Wilder is a pathetic mantle to hang your hat on.

    I have no doubt that Fury and AJ both get into the IBHOF. Wilder, too

    Vitali K is light-years ahead of Fury on every measuring stick: legacy, resume, ability, and ATG ranking. Vitali could scrape in the top 10 HW's ever and is on a level with Usyk, not Fury, especially that career-ending run of 12 title defences, 10 of which were against fighters ranked in the top 10. I'd struggle to place Fury in the top 20 due to his inconsistency and inactivity. I also wouldn't have him above Bowe either. Bowe would've smoked Fury.

    Fury yes. He went into back yards and fought the fights when they mattered.

    Joshua no. More of a cash cow with a synthetic resume.

    And yet AJ has the more impressive resume.

    Wilder really wouldn't deserve it.

    Fury has 2 names on the resume and both have a Asterix next to them.

    Wlad - was old and never won another fight.
    Wilder - who potentially was never any good.

    Hilarious, Fury fought bums and old men. Nothing else.

    If you don't mind me asking but why do you have Fury above Vitali.
    I'm not saying that is wrong or right but wondered what you thought
    Vitalis resume is good with the wins below

    - WBO HW champion H Hide
    - WBC HW champion S Peters
    - Former WBO HW champion C Sanders (didn't lose WBO title in the ring)
    - Former WBO HW champion S Briggs
    - Future WBA regular HW champion M Charr
    - Former WBC CW champion Gomez
    - Former WBC LHW and Former Ring and IBF CW champion T Adamek
    - C Arreola
    - K Johnson
    - T Hoffman
    - A Sosnowski
    - D Chisora
    - D Williams
    - Former WBA CW champion O Norris

    To be fair, it wouldn't have been easy as many held Fury as lineal when he wasn't fighting for a period of time.
    Joshua did win all the belts Fury relinquished

    Joshua only turned pro, late 2013
    Why do you think it means anything that his team were not looking to pit him in against Wladimir at that time?
    He had only had 10 fights at the start of 2015
