    And Usyk proved that the myth "No man of woman can defeat me" is untrue. That is, unless Usyk was untimely ripped from his mother's womb.

    Aj vs fury is a fight we all want to see, I'm gunna be honest and say it's a straight 50/50 fight right now.

    I think fury has the beating of him but fury punch resistance seems shot after the wilder fights so if aj can land its game over.

    That said fury could realistically school aj and genuinely I don't think we saw the best fury in the uysk fight, he was too small which says he was overtrained like the wallin fight.

    Sure, genius. A guy who is already a wrecking ball at 20 will suddenly become a useless bodybuilder a few years later. Sure, sure.

    This i agree on. Joshua has faced very soft opposition. However, given that he faced tough opposition between 2017-2022 (Wlad, Povetkin, Parker, Ruiz x 2, Usyk x 2), i am willing to give him a bit of a pass. I think his confidence was severely damaged in the Usyk fights and he needed a series of soft opponents to get his confidence back. Now that his confidence is up, he needs to go up vs Dubois or even Zhang.

    You see someone at 20 and say he is a fantastic talent that beats you up in sparring. Then the kid becomes an Olympic Gold medalist only three years later (something you never achieved), goes on to become a world champion after 16 professional fights, and unified champion after 19 professional fights (something you needed 25 fights to achieve). Then he keeps defending these multiple belts (something you never achieved yourself). Can you credibly and honestly say, "You know what, I changed my mind from 8-10 years ago, he is no good at all, just a useless s...e bodybuilder"?

    And you actually believe that to be the case? If someone points out how ridiculous that is, you say the other person is clutching at straws?

    Wow, mate. Your delusion is of epic proportions.

    Both lost to a middleweight. One was saved from being knocked out by the ref.

    You're way too emotional and putting way too much stock into a sparring session. Calm down.

    You immediately forfeit any debate when you adopt a tough-guy persona, suggesting that anyone with an opinion you dislike or disagree with is hysterical or emotional and needs to "calm down." In your simplistic worldview, typing "calm down" first means you've won. I don't know how old you are, but you definitely haven't been doing any significant cognitive development since high school.

    Also, you should work on your reading skills, too, as it's still not about that one sparring session. It's never been about that. Stop blaming me for your poor comprehension. My point is about the massive contradiction between what a still honest and not-playing-a-character-for-the-dumb-casuals Fury said about a young Joshua as a prospect and what he has been saying about the vastly improved, accomplished, and decorated Olympic and World Champion version of Joshua years later.

    "Calm down."
