    Fury has the better single wins but Joshua has more depth. Fury beat a slightly fresher Wlad more emphatically, and has the two wins over Wilder, plus wins over Chisora, while Joshua has wins over a slightly older Wlad whom he struggled with, Parker, a greenish Whyte, Takam, Povetkin and Ruiz.

    Fury's best wins are Wlad, Wilder, Chisora, Hammer, Wallin?

    Joshua's best wins are Wlad, Parker, Povetkin, Ruiz, Whyte. Much more depth.

    A 12-round decision win over Joseph Parker is better than flooring the World Champion Tyson Fury twice and fighting him to a draw or flooring Luis Ortiz four times in two fights and KOing him twice?

    Ask Razvan Cojanu if going 12 with Parker is easier than stopping Ortiz twice.

    **** you, George. You're a liar, too.

    Back in July.

    If you don't know the answer to this question there's something wrong.

    Obviously out of the 3 the man with the best resume is Joshua. There is no other correct answer. If you said fury or wilder please stop watching boxing maybe table tennis or something is more your bag.

    AJ has fought

    Klitschko
    Whyte
    Povetkin
    Takam
    Parker
    Ruiz

    And soon to be pulev

    Wilder has fought only 1 guy at or above that level in fury. You could argue ortiz if you like, I would disagree but whatever.

    Fury has fought klitschko. Which to be fair is probably the best win out of the lot but that does not eclipse Joshua fighting 7 of the top 10 or so guys in the division. He beat Chisora also twice a solid top 15 fighter then he beat wilder, Great but I don't rate him any higher than those named above.

    It's quite clearly joshua and then probably whyte before fury or wilder....

    Fury is rated above everyone you listed. Wilder is fighting him three times.

    Ortiz is rated above Povetkin, Parker, Ruiz and Takam. Wilder iced him twice.

    It is quite clear who has the best resume.

    You just said the wrong name.

    It's Deontay Wilder.

    Instead of beating my head against the wall, I am out.

    Winning* a 12 round decision against a prime champion who'd never been dropped and had a better résumé than Wilder at the time? Yeah, that is better than losing to Tyson Fury coming off the couch and beating an unproven heart patient. Pre-loss/confident Parker would be the **** out of Ortiz and Stiverne.

    Ask Cojanu is beating Parker is easy. Ask Hammer if Ortiz is easy to hit with a right hand...

    **** you Dubble, you're a rabid fanboy who having a breakdown coz your man had his ass clapped by a Brit, the same nation you've prided Wilder for taking shine from for years. So yeah, come back in July, it'll be fun to watch you lose your ****. Again.

    Wilder is losing to him 3 times lol

    Does that count?

    Ortiz has never fought a top 10 opponent and his rank is bull****. Ortiz would not beat any top 10 heavy.

    You don't really think wilder has the best resume, you are probably just a wilder fan.

    There's no logic that puts wilder with a better resume than Joshua.

    People putting Fury also forget that the dude ducked official rematch with Klitschko, not once but twice.
    And he was caught for steroids and was banned for 2 years. That goes unmark, because of his so call "retirement" , drugs, depression and so on.
    Joshua was there to fight Klitschko for the second time, when he beat him.
    And tho Klitschko regressed even more in the Joshua fight, he was way better prepared compare to his Fury fight.
    If Fury was man enough and rematches him, then we could have a case that he clearly have the best resume.

    When you are comparing resume, you are not only looking at the best win, but also the depth of that resume and the quality of that opposition.
    Wilder should not even be included in such list.
    Stiverne was garbage from day 1, so don`t see how that is a quality opponent. Ortiz at best was average. There is a reason he is 40 years old and the only real opponents he faced was Hammer and Jennings, and they offer a zero threat, and their status is lower than average. Tho he outboxed Wilder convincingly, the granddaddy of them all, has cardio for 6-7 rounds against a guy who is not known for his pace.
    Ortiz will be dead tired in the second round if he fight Usyk for example.
    But yeah Ortiz is the only real man you can put in Wilder resume as a so so quality win. But there is zero sense to put his name 2x time. Wilder can beat him 20 times, that doesn`t magically make his resume better, compare to his first win to Ortiz ...

    Same with Fury and Chisora. Beating a guy who`s best achievement is to lose every big fight he had, does not improve your resume, even if you beat him 20 time.

    The only thing Fury has in his resume over Joshua is that he had no loses.
    But when we talk about quality opposition Joshua is infront of him quite a lot.

    It’s close between AJ and Fury. AJ probably better overall but bigger wins for Fury.

    AJ: KO’d Wlad, Whyte, Parker, Povetkin, Ruiz. Losing to Ruiz was a big blip on his CV. While the he fought a fantastically clever rematch, there is no doubt he wasn’t comfortable at all with Ruiz.

    Fury: Beat Wlad who had dominated for 10 years, Chisora, Wilder twice. Could do with a few more like Whyte and Parker.

    I'd say Fury just edges it

    Fury's victories against Wlad and Wilder are easily the two best victories any boxer has had in the division since 2015.

    He's only won 3 out of that 6. The best four wins for each, albeit debatable, are;

    Fury - Wilder, Klitschko, Chisora, Hammer??
    Joshua - Klitschko, Ruiz, Povetkin, Whyte??
    Wilder - Ortiz, Breazeale, Stiverne, Washington??

    Cunningham deserves to make Fury's list. As of now, Fury cites it as his toughest fight. Yeah, that is an exaggeration, but it is a tribute to a tough former counterweight champion who made it to contender at heavy, and should have a win or two more but for crooked judging.
