    Both are great fights. Usyk AJ was more technical and Fury Wilder was more wild.

    Neither IMO. But between the two Wilder-Fury III

    I mean Berchelt-Valdez was much more violent but I wouldn't say its fighter of the year since it was one sided.

    Estrada-Chocolatito is a good candidate

    Usyk - Joshua.

    Not that close, really... It was far more technically satisfying and far more questions going in. This was two serious boxers going at it, even if there's a clear gap in skill, and it's enjoyable to rewatch several times over.


    Fury-Wilder 3... Whilst the drama made it enjoyable at the time, and Fury's shocking condition made one wonder if the upset was actually possible after all for a few moments, was pretty poor quality boxing and once you know what happens it's not the slightest bit interesting to rewatch.
    Exactly what was expected to happen did eventually happen, just in far less impressive fashion than expected.

    Usyk AJ was more technical, intriguing, but not a great deal happened. If you watch it again it's actually a bit boring. The ending made it seem more dramatic.

    Fury Wilder was pure drama. Not a great display of boxing skill, just pure brutality and heart on display. Even when there was a lull in the action, they were both standing off and looking at each other and you could tell they were both worried about what was about to come their way.

    If Hearn hasn't run the final bell 8 secs early I might have picked Olek.
