    Rounds 4-7 it wasn't look easy but either side I agree it was easy.

    Fury was certainly the best of an era. The less people who read this like Fury - the shorter that era will be :)
    Let's say Fury's era starts with AJ's loss to Andy Ruiz, and goes all the way to a win over White.
    IMO, Fury stopped being a lineal champion only after losing to Usyk.
    And why there was no undisputed HW champion for a quarter of a century, don't ask me.

    What are Fury's accolades arguments over AJ at this point now that they've both lost to Usyk?

    He ended both Wlad and Wilder's reign. AJ has yet to even fight Wilder. Some won't consider that significant, but it's a clear difference. Fury also still has the chance to avenge his loss against Usyk so time will tell.

    Fury isn’t the best at anything. Besides acting like a clown.
    Once he loses the rematch, then gets his jaw shattered by AJ to end bis career, that’ll be the last we ever speak about the name Tyson Fury.

    Even wilder himself admitted he was offered more money to fight Joshua but chose the Fury path. You lots defend wilder more than wilder himself.

    The other time, Wilder lost to Parker who was supposed to be an easier win than Wallin. There's no need to act deaf and dumb at this stage. Quit the drama sir!

    Some would say AJs win over a slightly older Wlad was done in a more impressive way. Yes, Wilder has defined Fury's career post-Wlad, I think for Fury's sake he better hope Wilder's legacy improves for the sake of his own, a lot of people are starting to second guess what kind of fighter Wilder was.

    Fury looks like he's winding things down but a rematch with Usyk and potential fight with AJ would determine how the two Brits end up ranked against each other all-time.

    Wilder chose Fury, it was a cherry pick gone wrong, they wanted a big name on the Resume and was banking on Fury's 3 year holiday / mental health issues being enough for Wilder to get the job done and he was 1 point off it, after that minus the 3rd fight knockdowns it wasn't even close.

    Look at the rankings of the fighters Wilder beat, absolutely woeful, majority you'd say were tin cans.

    If I remember correctly one of the ring journalists stated that Usyk was the best HW while AJ and Wilder were undefeated and holding the belts. He stated that Usyk will go down as the best HW of this era.

    Wilder was overrated. Great right hand beat the who’s who of tomato cans but not a great fighter. Parker proved that by dominating him. Fury is a great fighter in the era but Usyks accomplishments are far more impressive.

    Right that wasn't my question. My question is how is Usyk a ATG? He beat a mentally damaged Anthony Joshua after Andy Ruiz did easier first. Then he beat the fat drugged out Tyson Fury who best win is still over a 40 year old Wlad 8 years ago and Fury didn't even look good. At heavyweight Usyk isn't a great fighter.
