    Tyson Fury beat a better version of Klitschko with less struggles

    Tyson Fury beat Wilder 2x (Unofficially 3x) by ko. This is better than every Joshua win besides Klitschko

    Tyson Fury beat a better Dillian Whyte and never struggled

    Tyson Fury's top 5 wins > Anthony Joshuas top 5 wins

    I know what people are gonna say

    Joshua did better vs Wallin and Ngannou than Fury

    Well Fury did better vs Klitschko, Usyk and Whyte so when it comes to common opponents Fury has the edge and Fury does better vs Elite competition.

    Credit to Joshua for doing better vs lesser opposition than Fury and never taking a long break but Fury has the better resume as of today

    Not sure if beating Wilder is better than beating Parker.

    However, 3 wins over Wilder collectively are better than 1 win over Parker.

    On no planet was the version of Klitschko or especially Whyte that Fury fought better than the versions that Joshua fought.

    1. They both beat Kiltschko, so it doesn't matter on the resume that Fury had an easier time of it. What is more, Fury did it by a handful of jabs, whereas Joshua stopped him, so not everyone would agree.

    2. Parker beat Wilder, and don't even give me any **** about Wilder not being what he used to be, because he is the same old dossier from what I see.

    3. Joshua also beat Ruiz.

    4. Joshua also beat Povetkin

    4. The version of Whyte that Joshua beat is far better than the guy who's chin was cracked by Povetkin.

    Joshua's resume is now officially better, and it's not close.

    Anthony Joshua is an overrated hype job.

    BS analysis they both beat Klitchko end off story. Joshau fought more top 10s than Fury ever has they both beat Whyte you can't use that one Parker is better than Wilder you can't use Wilder that man is a garbage fighter who relied on one element.

    1. No, he doesn't and the way he's done it also matter. That should have been a NO Contest, as Fury was full of Juice and was caught and banned

    2. Fury beat Wilder Twice, who was never any good to begin too, but that was great wins at that time

    3. No he didn't beat better version of Whyte, quite the opposite. He beat a terrible version of Whyte who doesn't have his chin anylonger. Same Whyte had just lost by a KTFO by Povetkin. AJ beat a young, hungry, prime and undefeated version of Whyte. AJ was younger than Whyte in that fight, and has less fight, and was greener than him. Nice lie buddy.

    4. The rest is some biased nonsenses, that i won't even address, as they are nonsenses.

    5. Ngannou beat Fury and everyone knows it. AJ KO him inside 2. Wallin should have won via TKO against Fury, and everyone knows it. AJ dismantle him in 5 with ease, and this was better Wallin. Ngannou was surely better for AJ.

    And then we have Parker, who destroys Wilder, Povetkin who was Top 3 HW in both Klitschko and this era. Pulev was top 5 in Klitschko era, and was top 10 in this era. Ruiz, Takam(still very good version of him).
    AJ while had a lot less fights, and is younger than Fury and started a lot later, has 12 World Title Fights, compare to Fury's 7.

    Just the title fights alone put Fury to shame.

    Not sure how anyone can say that Fury beat a better Whyte with a straight face - Whyte was sparked out by a faded post-prime Pov and only won the rematch because Pov was as weak as a baby duck due to covid - that fight should never have taken place!

    Fury's resume really pivots on how you rate Wilder, and the Klit win - aside from that it's weak sauce

    Nah Joshua’s resume is better. Far deeper than Fury’s.

    Wilder is extremely over rated, majority of his knockouts are against fighters ranked in the 100s

    You say fury’s best 5 wins is better than aj’s best 5 wins but 5 wins isn’t either man’s whole resume.

    aj’s is so much deeper.

    The version of Cunningham who had never been stopped prior to Fury would have given AJ nightmares imo. AJ would have been left befuddled by the smaller man getting the better of him technically. After the Usyk fight; "It's all about skill not being strong and tough."
