    True but Fury is the two time ring magazine champion. In my opinion the only belt that really matters. But aye we don't know who's better, hopefully the fights get made. The build is going to be a riot :lol:

    Fair point. But the guys chisoras been losing closely to aren,t quite as vulnerable as joshua. Honestly after watching that tonight...joshua needs to go back to fight the whyte,s, chisoras, parkers for a bit. Not them as such but that level. Hes out his depth against the top 3 atm.

    Like I said before the fight ( but people thought I was mad)

    Usyk is the special talent, A* level. Joshua is very good.. B + level. The levels showed. Despite the weight disadvantage, the true elite fighter dominated. Usyk is better than Joshua in almost every department.

    Respect to Joshua though for his sportsmanship throughout.

    I predicted Usyk would win the fight on points?? Usyk is just a special fighter, a class above anyone we have seen since Lewis at HW.

    As a way of hedging your bets, duh.

    Not to worry, but you'll have an even tougher task propagating the Joshua record myth now with another loss on the record. No amount of Takams, Pudding Pulevs, Martins, Breazeales, Molinas, Rice Puddings will ever be able to override the fact that the guy isn't in that top class with the likes of Fury.

    I've said for ages that I belive Usyk would become the number 1 in the divison.

    Usyk number one for beating the guy with the best resume in divison. AJ.number 2 and Whyte 3 with next best resume.

    Lmao hype job. Why can’t people just be balanced in their views? I ****ing hate this board sometimes with nonsense comments like this. He got beat by an elite fighter. Let’s see how quick Fury is to make that fight if he beats Wilder. I’m not even a massive fan of Joshua either but I still respect what he’s achieved.

    Big Vitali was in the arena tonight. He would have have annihilated Joshua.

    Ukraine is some nation for fighting men.

    So if usyk loses to fury is usyk then overated?

    And what if fury then loses to AJ or whyte is he then overated ?

    Styles make fights is a well known phrase for a reason, it's true.

    One fighter beating another has absolutely no bearing on him beating the next man.

    AJ has got in there and defended his belts time after time and has come unstuck, I don't get all the hate. When fury or usyk or whoever start making numerous defences they will lose. And as good as usyk is he's not invincible as chisora showed, it will just take a certain fighter with a certain style to beat him.

    An absolute hypejob and people like you still peddle the Joshua myth after him being given a boxing lesson by a cruiser weight.
