    Man it must be hard for you to accept that Fury looked worse against Wallin then Joshua has ever has in any fight including Ruiz one.

    On that same day, you will give Fury the credit he deserves too...


    Probably the 30th Feb 2021

    Difficult to pick amongst many great highlights though I think the best is yet to come.

    Wat

    Fury losing 4 rounds to Wallin with a massive cut looks worse thna getting dropped, rocked and gassing out all over the shop by a little fat man and Wlad?

    That’s not true. Surely overcoming a huge cut and winning is better than getting stopped the way he was

    I'd say Klitschko because he came back from a bad KD.

    miniq and SS already replied like I was.
    I have to ask - do you even realize how illogical your post was? o_O

    Pulling out a win after sustaining a bad cut >>> what happened to AJ in the first Ruiz fight. End of discussion.

    Yes, and against a great finisher as well. So, yeah, that would be my pick for the same reason.

    Parker and Povetkin were good performances as well. And in Ruiz 2 he showed he could adapt well, even though he looked quite nervous at times.

    Fury going 12 rounds and almost losing on cuts is nothing to write home about either. Your boy is a fraud and a PEDs cheat.

    Must be the Wlad fight.
    Taking into account the occasion, the fact that Klitschko was in fantastic shape & boxed very well too.
    Pulev wasn't bad either, as AJ showed again he has a plan B, he boxed well.
    He has limitations, but is trying to address them at least.

    Parker performance was pretty sketchy though. Ref was disgusting and preventing any inside fighting from Parker. Povetkin performance was sketchy too. He was rocked late in R1 and came back pretty well but still lost a couple of rounds. Ruiz 2 was solid but man i think Ruiz looked like utter trash and was probably without any real training so hard to say how good Joshua really looked there. At least he was sticking to 1 game plan and didn't do anything else than stick & move which worked well.

    The ref prevented inside fighting from both. I see no reason why this should favour Joshua. I think the opposite actually. And, yes, Povetkin had some good moments, but he's a good fighter. And Joshua controlled most of the action and became the so far only man to KO him.

    And the question wasn't if he have had any flawless performance - it was what his best ones were.
