    I rank AJ #3 currently and think Wilder would stop him. Styles make fights and I think they'd mesh poorly for AJ here. Could be wrong of course, and I'm hoping to actually see them fight before 2030.

    Tyson Fury fanboys gave zero respect to AJ when he lost to Usyk now, I have to see clowns like Miniq pretend to be humble.

    Hell no we won't forget best believe we will keep the same energy. I will never forget how Fury fanboys undermined Usyk saying that Fury would walk him down, going on about his size as if he is a God and that's all that matters in boxing, trolling AJ, trolling legends in the 70s, 90s etc. I will never forget Fury fanboys acting like the biggest pricks in the forum along with Fury publicly. Fury has been gaslighting and conning the Public for years with his big mouth but always took the easiest fights.

    Well Aj fans don't give Fury slack for Ngannou, so why should Fury fans do the same?

    I wonder what alt you are
    Nice username, you aren't biased by any means

    I'm sure you the same guy who said Usyk style was bad for Fury and thought Francis would trouble AJ. What style does Wilder have dude has a right hand that's it avoid that and you can fold him like Nothing the most awful fighter in the heavyweight division.

    This is no small amount of snowflake. Just stating Ustk won clearly is not disrespecting Fury. Fury pushed him, made a fight out of it and showed a lot of his undeniable qualities, but Usyk clearly beat him. And it now probably will require a meet between Fury and Joshua to determine who's the nr 2 of this era and the best British HW since Lewis.

    That's all.

    I think AJ and his fans have been criticized long enough and harsh enough and mostly by Fury fans. So why would they give Fury any slack now??
    You realize Fury clearly lost to a past prime ,light punching middleweight, right? And on top of that he was saved by a ref.
    If that was prime Usyk from Joshua 1 , your boy would have never survived 9 rounds. As overrated as Joshua is he never ducked anyone and has better resume than Fury.
    Fury’s legacy as of now is his “win” over 40 year old Wlad in one of the most pathetic HW fights while being on PEDs and then running from rematch.
    Yes Fury is pathetic . He packs glass, he is a certified drug cheat , he is delusional and a certified duck.
    He arguably lost to Ngannou too.
    After fight with Usyk which he clearly lost he said Usyk was awarded victory because of Ukraine being at war with Russia! :D
    I don’t think he deserves any respect at all and I am glad to see him being kicked while he is down.
    Happy new year!

    Is this really controversial? I mean, I would like to see a rematch to be sure (because it was so bizarre), but my money would definitely on Fury doing much better.

    I dont think the fight was very close.

    Especially when you ignore the showboating and look at the punch stats.

    Yes, sticking his tongue out during a fight, attempting to head butt the opponent during a press conference (last year),
    continuously insulting a respectful quiet opponent, losing them blaming his corner and accusing judges of scoring for Usyk due to the
    Ukraine-Russian war. Etc. Etc.

    And we're supposed to respect him? Stop.

    Usyk TWICE defeated AJ who was in his prime and HW champ at the time.

    I didn't say that. I thought it would be a 50/50 for Fury/Usyk and edged it slightly towards Fury.

    Yes I was wrong about Ngannou, many were. Is being wrong allowed?

    My reasoning for Wilder beating AJ is that AJ will get hit eventually, and I don't think he has the defence or chin to survive that. Just my opinion and I hope we get to see the fight no matter who wins.

    I only respect him for his excellent recoveries if badly dropped...few fighters can have this capacity. For the rest the guy has a lot of serious mental troubles. Hes clearly sicko. From one side I pity the fool from the other I dont respect him because most of these troubles came for his fault with the passing of the time abusing of drugs and alcohol.

    What's wrong with AJ chin dude had a concussion against Ruiz but people killing him with the glass jaw digs I seen him get up from Knockdowns and I never seen him had another disaster like the Ruiz match. Wilder doesn't have is more vulnerable than AJ.
