    For real

    It's like when you argue with someone on boxing and the person says "ya but he's richer than you"

    I'm sure the Fury fans here who claim Joshua had a disspointingg career, really hopped he would go down as an ATG. :)

    It seems to me that it would be more rational for a Fury fan to be dissqpointed with Fury's career.

    Tyson Furys career is a massive disappointment

    He wasted a lot of potential

    With Joshua that was not really the case

    He just was what he was

    He was only a disappointment based on hype

    The reality is, Joshua has had a career that 99.9% of professional fighters past and present would swap their own for in a heartbeat. If he’s as bad as some portray on this forum, then he must be the greatest overachiever and best promoted boxer in history.

    Fury achieved what he could. He ran from Usyk until he stopped and then lost. All she wrote.

    Fury should've lost to McDermott.

    Fury has been dropped by the likes of Ngannou & Pajkic who only had 4 stoppages in his career.

    Fury was dropped by a Cruiserweight in Cunningham who had a 40 percent stoppage ratio.

    Fury barely scrapped by Wallin.

    Fury is not some ultra elite fighter way ahead of Joshua.

    I do think Fury is more naturally talented as a fighter than Joshua.

    But they are of a similar the way their careers have panned so far.

    And Fury does not fancy coming out of retirement and facing Joshua to atleast settle the debate.

    Also Joshua certainly has more ability than Wilder how can you not see that ?

    Joshua can fight on the inside and outside.

    Joshua has better punch variety left hook, uppercuts, right hook.

    Better combination puncher.

    Better jab.

    Better technical skills.

    I agree with almost all of this

    Except the better jab

    His jab is much worse

    Willders jab is much better

    Also Joshuas inside game is better than Wilders but is not great either

    Joshuas jab is bad

    He just flicks it

    Wilders is significantly better

    The reality is he was overhyped by Eddie Hearn and the UK public

    He was supposed to be an ATG and it never happened

    You can try to cope with this harsh reality but its the truth

    He wasnt as good as people thought he would be

    Its ok life goes on

    Maybe I'll give you that one because I'm remembering how Dubois asserted his jab right away vs Joshua.

    And I do remember Wilder boxing well at distance with his jab vs Stirverne.

    Wilder jab although slightly underatated is very crude

    Lol. I'm a "fanboy" because I am glad to see a two-time champion doing well.

    Stopping Ngannou and Paul is such a weird but satisfying part of his career.
