    As is Joshua's, the only difference being Fury wasn't fighting a guy coming of an 18 month layoff.

    Joshua has fought more world champions, he’s also fought more top 15 fighters than Fury.

    The fact that they are "top" fighters only reflects how weak the division is as opposed to how great AJ's resume is.

    I’m not debating that. But Fury’s is exactly the same. Who are his best wins other than Klitschko? Chisora?

    Fury's win over WK is greater than AJ's as it was in Germany, WK was unbeaten in 10 years, was active and still in his late 30's, not to mention it was very one-sided. After that their records are similar, meaning Fury has the slightly better resume, meaning he has the best resume in the division. What is your point?

    The WK win was one of the most boring heavyweight PPV fights of all times. In fact it is so boring I don't think sky have shown it again and the last time I checked they didnt even have it available to download on their on demand service.

    Who else is on Tyson"s CV?? Christian Hammer and the average Chisora.. who else I'm struggling...he even got a dodgy decision over Mcdonut and got dropped by a cruiserweight in Cunningham. He's got a terrible CV and him being considered a lineal Champ is like an ugly bloke getting props for pulling a 90 year old version of Kelly Brook

    You're a thick man. A genuine thick.

    Anyone with any fraction of boxing knowledge knows that completely immobilising the attack of an ATG champion in his own backyard, winning a wide points decision, is an amazing feat. While his performance may not have been 'explosive', it was one of the best ever from a Brit, especially away from home. Only a hater would say otherwise. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the sweet science that night, as did many others.

    Chisora, Hammer, Cumningham. Name another current heavyweight with better names on their CV including the WK win. You can't, so what is your point?

    You're so blatantly a hater, making anything you say regarding Fury null and void. A thick.

    Nobody debates that his WK win was better. But other than that his cv is dreadful. There’s not one other top 15 fighter on there to be frank.

    Nobody said he had a great resume. The debate was whether or not he has the best resume in the division. And he does, slightly, because everyone else's is poor too. If AJ beats Parker he'll pull ahead. But not as it stands.

    I just hope Eddie has the good sense to protect Joshua so that fury v joshua is massive Otherwise it's pointless. Wilder knocks joshua out So does a shop worn povetkin

    And on the point about Sky not showing Wlad v Fury again. Why would Sky show Tyson Fury totally outclassing WK when their poster boy went life and death with him?

    I’d take Joshua’s over Fury’s any day of the week especially after the Parker fight. More world title fights, actual unification fights and actual top 15 opponents. It doesn’t mean Joshua beats fury but he clearly has the better record.

    He's been saying he's coming back for about 2 years now. Wake me up when he's actually walking to the ring.

    Klitchko performed much better against AJ. I'm afraid we can't just leave out Klitchko from the equation. He had an absolute stinker against Fury, by all accounts his camp was terrible.
