    Usyk has two wins over Joshua, a win over Fury and a win over Dubois
    Joshua has a win over Parker
    Parker has a win over Zhang
    Zhang has two wins over Joyce
    Dubois has a win over Hrgovic
    Hrgovic has a win over Zhang

    But Tyson Fury hasn't beaten ANYONE in the current Ring top ten.

    That's a really weird take. You do realise rankings change over time right?

    It does show that he fooled around for two years before getting his tail kicked.

    That's a weak attempt at defending Fury. You do realise that:
    1) Most of these guys have been on the top 10 list for years, and
    2) Those who aren't (Dubois, Anderson, Kabayel) have all called out Fury in the past 12-18 months, but Fury never responded, as he was busy fighting Chisora and Ngannou, right?

    Stop defending the fat moron. Zhang, Ruiz, Bakole, Joyce, Kabayel, Sanchez, Makhmudov, etc. have all kept calling him out; they were all legit contenders and perfectly good opponents. But Fury didn't care about the legitimacy of his opponents; all he wanted was cash for Mickey Mouse fights. Anyone who still defends him is an enemy of boxing.

    Really reaching to legitimize Joshua

    Didn't Dillian Whyte beat Parker in Joe's next fight after AJ? Why not throw him on this little list.

    Terrible thread

    That maybe so, but Fury still gave Usyk his toughest fight and is deservingly the number 1 contender.
    Those below have also had numerous loses or setbacks.
    Joshua is deservingly number 2 but also lost the Usyk (twice) but his loss to Ruiz is hard to defend.
    Parker has had two good wins but nothing that should make home rate higher than Joshua or Fury. He also carries three loses one of which was the Whyte who both Fury & Joshua have beat easily.
    And so on.
    I struggle to see the point of the original post if you look at it objectively.

    It's the end of an era. Usyk clearly became number one above all others, but he's an ever aging fighter. The top ten is in transition as the old guys will fall away and new fighters will establish themselves.

    Maybe Fury can get some redemption, extending the era for another year or so, and we get some fresh fights. Or maybe Usyk fights Fury again, followed by Joshua/Dubois again. It would be nice to see to see some new match-ups.

    I didn’t think Fury wins another fight in his life against actual boxers.

    In the last 3 years, Fury has 2 wins against fighters who were ranked in the top 10 at the time, and a split decision loss against the #1 ranked fighter.

    In the last 3 years Joshua has 1 win against a fighter who was ranked in the top 10 at the time, and 2 losses against the #1 ranked fighter.

    Don't see AJ fighting them either. He seems just as happy to follow Fury down that path.

    That seems a bit pessimistic. I think he could but it depends how much he wants it.

    If he loses to Usyk, would he want to rebuild against fringe contenders like Ajagba? That would be definitely be winnable. I could also see him beating Joyce, or slow footed fighters like Ruiz Jr to a decision.

    Or does he get tempted by the money to fight Joshua? But then again, that risks his legacy.

    Or does he retire, and stick two fingers up to the Joshua fight, become the self-proclaimed number 2 Brit after Lewis, releasing another autobiography each Christmas, while ever-threatening a comeback?

    I think he has only two more fights. Usyk and Aj, I think he loses to both.
