    They both lost to Usyk. If you want to make comparisons you could say that Joshua beat Wallin and Whyte more comfortably than Fury and was never knocked down by Usyk.

    It means nothing until they actually fight each other.

    I personally think at their best Fury would beat Joshua but right now I would back Joshua to knock Fury out. Joshua has taken care of his body and has taken less damage in fights than Fury. I think Joshua would beat Usyk now too. Unpopular but Usyk has slowed down a lot and his body has gone through a lot of wear-and-tear from 200+ fights throughout his career.

    agree tbh up til the point you say AJ beats Usyk which is a wild take. AJ will fill his pants again if he dares to step in the ring with Usyk. Hats off if you’re right, will probably make a ton of money betting on that.

    you took the words out my mouth. If were going by size, then yes, it's Fury. If we're going by skill and talent, then it's Cooper Lewis would head the list. Cooper fought in one of the toughest eras in HW history. Peace.

    Riyadh Season been a bit of a nightmare for Fury. Lost to Usyk and got put on his backside by a MMA fighter, Joshua has battered 2 of his toughest opponents with ease and now his wins over Wilder haven’t particularly aged well with him being beat easily twice.

    Usyk won't fight for the sake of it. If he's in serious decline he'll just give up rather than chase a payday

    It really depends on how you rank Fitzsimmons. Boxing's first ever three-weight champion, one of only two men in history to have been world Champion at Middleweight and Heavyweight, the only man to have been lineal champion at both weights, he's unquestionably one of the giants of Boxing history, but he was not a natural heavyweight so that might count him out.

    Certainly trying to find 10% less for the rematch and maybe he is on a bar crawl to find Big John Fury posted missing since the Saudi trip.
