Fury's resume took a beating. Parker battering Wilder and Walin quitting on the stool against AJ when he left Fury's face a bloody mess.
Makhmudov confirmed as overrated, not top 10 material or even close, crazy to think I've seen people rank him in their top 10. 333lbs boxers can't fight 10 full rounds. Dubois showed some heart but again showed he's very limited. Fury either ruined Wilder or he was always a fraud, but probably a bit of both. Parker is back, not only did he look in the best shape I've seen him in for a long while, he actually backed it up in the ring, probably the best performance of his career. Wallin overrated off having a couple of good rounds vs a Fury having an off night. Joshua shows there still some of the old ruthless Joshua of old in there.
Wilder had fought one round since taking two devastating beatdown stoppages and chugging ayahuasca. No one knew how much he had left and clearly he's lost a lot since then. Parker never stopped being top 10, though maybe you could make the case during his Chisora scraps. Wallin was certainly overrated, but that doesn't mean AJ is "back". Back to what, being two clear levels below Usyk? Wallin has zero power and the two have sparred over 150 rounds. He's a complete known entity and Joshua still took a few rounds to commit to shots.
people massively underrate Anthony Joshua and overrate his rivals because they don’t like him, or Eddie Hearn
We learned that you don't let fights marinate for long periods of time because in boxing anything can happen. Wilder-Joshua should have happened when they were both undefeated champions.
AJ could quite possibly have been better than Fury and Wilder this whole time if he never lost to Ruiz he could’ve been recognised as the best of this era
1. AJ deserves much more credit than he gets. Taken way too much stick, best resume in the division. Apart from the bad night agaisnt ruiz he's only been beaten by a p4p great in usyk. 2. Furys resume took a real hammering, wallin and Wilder dealt with easier than he did. Is klitschko the only real name on his record ? 3. Usyk is clearly number 1 in the division. 4. Makhmudov is a slightly bigger babic 5. Wilder finally cementing what we have always known, he's a padded record bum hypejob.
