Current HW Rankings

Bakole was not in any shape to have a fight so it barely counts

Zhang is a nice win

Wilder wasnt the same Wilder obviously

Parker still couldnt knock him out

 

Nobody knew how far gone Wilder was until after this fight

He was a heavy favourite

It has to be considered a good win as Parker took a risk and won

 

A 24 hours notice Bakole is better than going life and death vs an MMA fighter over 10 rounds.

"Wilder wasn't the same obviously"

That's not what most people thought at that time Wilder was coming off a 1st stoppage of Helenius who gave Joshua 7 round competitive rounds.

Parker was the underdog took a risk and won in context it's a good win.

Zhang is a nice win yes better than any win Fury has had in years.

I'm still not seeing any good arguments from you on why Fury is apparently a top 3 ranked Heavyweight he's done nothing notable in regards to actual wins in years.

 

Valid

Getitng knocked out by Wardley is bad (even if it was an early stoppage)

Yes Joshua struggling so much vs Helenius was very bad

Joshua has looked bad in all his fights since Usyk besides Ngannou and Wallin

I agree with the rest of what you said

 

Not when you have other non-titlists in this era taking on better opponents like Parker, Wardley, Chisora, Dubios etc.

Fair points. But stylistically unless Fury has fallen off a cliff he'd still be a favorite in my view. We can't really know until he fights though.

Wilder wasn't declared shot until after the fight with 5/1 underdog Parker.

Zhang is a solid win. Kabayel is ranked #2 by many and his win over an even older Zhang is considered his best opponent.

It's also not Parker's fault Bakole turned up unfit. He was supposed to be a Boogeyman and Parker made short work of him. Compare that to AJ coming in prepared against Jake Paul to struggle against him for 6 rounds.
