Really? Tyson Fury is my clear number 1. But until this fight with Joshua happens people will look back at their respective resumes and credit him for dethroning Klitschko first and foremost, and second for beating Wilder (a mollycoddled champion). They might also credit him for taking Chisora's 0 and causing him to retire on his stool. They might even (possibly) give him credit for Otto Wallin. But when people look back at Joshua's resume they will see how he unified the belts. And fought a string of top fighter with good records back to back to back. Fury has the best win, but Joshua has the best resume, and at the moment it's not even close.
AJs beaten the same of current ring magazine top 10 in Povetkin, Whyte, Ruiz and Parker (was 5 when AJ beat Pulev) than Fury, Wilder & Povetkin have combined. Wlad is both AJ and Furys best win. Numer of different factors - Aj beat an older wlad who had a spell of inactivity that could of seen Wlad decline further. - Wlad came in the AJ in visibly better shape in the AJ fight, the lightest he has been in 7 years. - Wlad fought an aggressive fight against AJ fight conpared to the cautious approach against Fury. Wlads best peformances have been when he has fought in a more aggressive style such as the povetkin and Pulev fights. - Fury comfortably out box Wlad and wasnt in any danger unlike AJ who went life and death with Wlad. That said AJ did what Fury couldn't and hurt and stopped Wlad. After that AJ resume ia far superior to Furys. Povetkin - has a deep resume and as shown against Hughie and Whyte he is still dangerous. Whyte - At the time they were domestic rivasl and since then Whytes string of impressive wins and AJs win against Whyte has looked more favourable since. Parker - Wins over Ruiz, Takam, Hughie and since Fa - Parker resume is a solid one. Ruiz - AJ Avenged his only lose. Pulev - Wins over Chisora, Huggie, Dimitrenko and Ustinov - has a solid resume. That's 4 guys AJ has beaten that currently have better resumes than Fury's next best win which debatable between Wilder and Chisora. It's clear AJ has the best resume in the divison.
from a fighting family 8th fight for fury mcd gift 9th fight from a fighting family tommy v tomato can fury josh didnt pick the sport up till late fights sprott in his seventh fight there is a pattern
This never ending who has the best resume out of Fury and Joshua "debate" is beginning to crush my soul.
Eh AJ's win against Povetkin is better than Fury's win against Wilder. But Fury's win against Klitschko is better than AJ's win against Klitschko
After Pulev fight I don't think a lot of people would be shocked if Fury wins. Joshua looked very limited against that can.
AJ's CV has more depth with senior citizens like Wlad, Povetkin, Pulev, and young bloods like Parker, Fat Andy and Whyte on it but Fury has the better single wins (albeit Wlad was a senior citizen too) and he dethroned two long-reigning world champions in their backyards where everything was against him. Whereas, conversely, the only time AJ ventured over to his opponent's backyard he got used and abused, battered and beaten, and bounced up and down off the canvas like a yo-yo and stopped by a freaking walking blob. Home advantage is a thing. A big thing. And if you don't believe me then allow me to take you on a little journey back in time to the 2012 Olympics where AJ managed to come away with the gold medal even though he should've lost 50% of his bouts in those games And then let's bring that time machine right back to December 2018 when the inactive drug-ravaged muscle atrophied suicidal shot shell of Tyson Fury whooped the ass of The Tuscaloser in his backyard in everyone bar the corrupt judge's eyes I will concede that even though Povetkin was a senior citizen and way past his best when AJ beat him it is a better win than The Tuscaloser. However, you have to factor in that Fury beat The Tuscaloser in his backyard on a deck that was stacked against him whereas AJ beat Povetkin on home soil on a deck that was stacked in his favour. Then you have to factor in the wretched state Fury was in for the first Tuscaloser fight. By rights, he shouldn't have been in the ring with anyone in the top 20 and if you think AJ could spend three years in the wilderness abusing the hell out of his body with industrial amounts of coke, booze and junk food, shed over 140 pound of blubber after ballooning up to over 400lbs, not to mention battling chronic depression, suicidal thoughts and suffering a nervous breakdown, and beat the #2 HW in the world in their backyard you're smoking a super strong strain of something. That's not a knock on AJ because no mortal man could come back from that other than Tyson ''The Gypsy King'' Fury. I have consulted with my team of the world's leading scientists in their respective fields and they assure me that all the scientific data and the results of their studies lean heavily to not only the younger active Wlad who Fury beat beating AJ in Germany on the bouncy castle but him sparking him out cold in London too.
Lol lets not try and rewrite history. If that version of Povetkin jumped in the ring with Wilder he's also getting taken out. Fury deserves credit for the win in Wilder's back yard not stupid comments that diminish it even if Wilder is an absolute excuse making buffoon.
