Sadly, this rings true. I'd love to see what a prime or close to prime Fury could do against AJ. But if he does come back, I think he'll be a...
This is exactly how I see it. I understand the style arguments, which is why I think it would be very competitive, but there are levels here....
Hearn seems to be playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers.
H2H, prime v prime. The best smaller HWS of the latter half of the Klitschko era. I suspect "hypothetical Haye", who could never lose a...
How many examples are there of a HW champ, of AJs approximate level of respect, that lose to someone 3 inches or more shorter and who wasn't a...
Dominant champs at HW have always either A. Been taller than the average contender of the era or B. Had great power. Usyk and Gassiev don't fit...

Realistically AJ was moved along unusually fast. Its not (credibly) debatable. Not just getting a title or in facing Wlad, even before he got a...
Yep. But to grass is always greener fans, Ike is Shangri La. A blank slate to pin all their hopes. And they can never be proven wrong, since he...
Wow, Ike is so freaking overrated on this board. Only in forums would he be considered the favorite. He had two great wins, but both were fairly...
If he wins this tournament, he is an atg CW. He'd actually have as good an argument for #2 CW all time as anyone. (But then whoever wins the...
No, actually I've made one or more thread polls on this before, and you're in the minority. Most people want Wilder to be proven first before he...
You're joking, right? You want to see a unification while Wilder has no real credibility as a belt holder? It would be a joke. He's at the same...
Only thing that makes sense is he's doing it for respect, giving the fans a better fight and not allowing himself to be patted on the head by AJ...
He doesn't deserve to unify with AJ before he's more proven. It would be an unsatisfying fight with him a massive underdog. If he beats Ortiz it's...
