    Some would say AJ because he never got knocked down by Usyk.

    Fury. AJ got schooled twice. Fury actually scared me a bit in the middle rounds

    Look at Usyk going back to his corner after round 6. That’ll give you the answer

    Fury, usyk had maybe one or two short moments both fights against AJ of looking uncomfortable, fury had him hard dismantled for two rounds before usyk hit the NOS

    Fury. I was seriously deflated in the middle of the fight at the success he was having.

    Fury for sure, I'd still like to see Fury vs Joshua at one point, Fury switches off and loses focus too often in fights and that could cost him against Joshua, his heart probably sees him triumph over Joshua but it would be one hell of a fight given Joshua power and Fury's tendency to get caught.

    Fury was up 4-2 at the halfway point with all the momentum. AJ won like 3 rounds in 2 fights and had momentum for 1 minute. His level was exposed by the high level chess we just watched.

    Fury clearly. He actually looked at one point like he could stop Usyk.

    Fury did better mid fight I thought Usyk might actually lose, until round 7

    Fury was harder task to solve. Fury was clear betting favourite after the first half of the fight. Usyk adapted and changed the course of the fight.

    Against AJ it went Usyk's way both times from the start, even the rematch where AJ did better and had his moments.

    AJ did better in the 2nd fight and didn't get rocked like Fury...

    Fury accepted his loss with dignity,praised Usyk and did not throw any belts out the ring. Let’s not forget the first fight when Usyk had Joshua pinned on the ropes in the last round and should have been stopped but the belt was rang early to end the fight !
