    It's clear that tonight on form we watched the two best on the planet

    Usyk is THE man, I got it wrong. He's special However, it's clear to see in this form Aj isn't on either level

    Usyk is the king

    Style make fights. Fury's chin seems well cracked, I think it's now 50/50 with AJ. Possibly even further in AJ's favour. He just needs to land a few things of significance.

    Debatable. Fury was beaten pretty clearly and saved from being KO’d.

    Still need to see Fury and Joshua to get that answer. Fury doesn’t get a pass from facing AJ from that performance for me.

    Fury definitely gave Usyk a harder time of it. Joshua was hitting air most of the time, and was gassed out by the 8th.

    The Fury that showed up tonight would KO AJ

    I'd rather be Joshua in the second fight. Was a decently close fight and he wasn't out on his feet.

    Fury has nothing on his resume to put him at #2.
    Lets get Fury v Joshua made.

    Prime Fury beats Joshua.

    The guy is battle worn as **** now though. He's taken some absolute poundings from Wilder and Usyk over the years. The way his eyes rolled back after Usyk landed on him...

    I think he's a brutal KO waiting to happen at this point. Watching Joshua do it would be a sickner.

    Not so sure about that if Joshua lands on Fury's chin it could be curtains for Fury who was basically on the verge of being stopped by Usyk but had a bit of a lucky break with standing 8 count.

    I still want to see Fury vs Joshua that should be the next fight to happen if Fury vs Usyk rematch doesn't happen.

    I see your point, but Aj hasn't got Usyk chin and Fury can hit harder than ruiz

    Anyway Aj fans always like to say you are only as good as your last fight. Fury proved inferior to ustlyk, but performed much better than Aj who had 2 tries

    Usyk is the champ and Fury is next

    The current version of AJ under Ben Davison cracks Fury wide open.

    Tyson should avoid that fight IMO.

    Hmmm.... Fury brought everything but his power, so that's a stretch. And it seems as if Wilder softened his jaw a little.

    Fury should just focus on Usyk and then retire. It's too late for him to go in there with AJ, I'm afraid. A victory over AJ would only bring him right back to the Usyk problem, anyway, so he may as well try and deal with it while he still can.

    I'm not convinced, never have been.

    We've disagreed plenty and I'm not going to rub anything in - you've taken it like a man as you said you would, can't fault that.

    I think if Fury truly believed he'd beat and/or stop Joshua he'd take that fight, it'd cement his position in the division better than losing to Usyk again IMHO - I'm not convinced he does believe it, though, and I don't expect to see it.

    Time will tell.

    They're very, very different fighters... Joshua has way more power, a better chin, and brutal combos - Fury is much slicker, has far better recovery (he's more easily hurt, but recovers remarkably well) and uses his size well.

    It'd be interesting to see, but as I say, I'm not holding my breath.

    If nothing else, it's an open question and interesting to discuss.

    No AJ will beat them both now.

    AJ fought 2 years younger Usyk that was miles faster both on his feets and his hands.
