    Wishful thinking by an obvious detractor.

    Joshua, GGG. Wilder too if you consider him elite.

    No, just not convinced from what I've seen of Fury on his return that he is anywhere near the level he was Chisora 2 - Wlad.

    If I am wrong and he beats Whyte, fair enough I'll hold my hands and I'll admit I called it wrong ( it wouldn't be for first time). 8 just don't think Fury does beat Whyte based on the low quality of opposition he has struggled with on his return.

    You do seem to have a real issue with Fury though, comes across as obsessive.

    I just don't believe beating 4 guys ranked outside the the top 40 and the most limited fighter in the top 10 with weakest resume in the space of 7 years makes you the number 1 fighter in the divison (as portrayed by many).

    If Fury beats Whyte, then he would deserved to be in the top 3 but not untill he earns it.

    I've also got a bad feeling about Gassiev. He seemed happy just to be in the same building as Usyk and not hungry for much more. I can see him losing once at HW for some money and calling it a day.

    I know it's down to personal opinion, but on which planet is Wilder seen as an elite fighter ?
    I have respect for anyone that chooses to get into a boxing ring, Wilder proved he has a big heart last time out, an elite fighter he definitely is not. In my opinion.

    I agree but nothing sad about it especially as he was a little bit overrated hence his nickname “Lil G”.

    Loma easily beats George Lopez. The guy is a comedian with no boxing experience that I’m aware of.
