    Chisora 1 (slight underdog), Wlad (massive underdog), Wilder 1 (slight underdog), Wilder 2 (slight underdog).

    Fury was also a large underdog against Haye, who withdrew with an alleged injury 7 days out from their fight.

    Anyone who calls him the greatest heavyweight is delusional. Not even top 20 in greatest heavyweights.

    Doesn't matter how you feel about Fury. Be it a fanboy or hater, truth of the matter is quite simple if you aren't an overly emotional mess. HIs resume is simply very thin. Nothing to even argue against.

    People are generally ranked on what they do in their own eras. In 60 years there might be 7 foot 350 pound giants who would annihilate Fury in a single round. How is it relevant how you feel Wilder would do in other eras? Shouldn't he be ranked on what he does in his own era?

    And people don't get credit for beating guys who duck them because if they did we'd have to add Bowe and Moorer to Lewis's resume.

    I never said Fury beats him H2h I rank fighters on their career. Truth is Bowe never fought big punchers and Golota ended his career by age 29. Short career for sure. But they rank close to each other in all time standings in my opinion

    Fury failing to scalp Povetkin was a disaster for his cv.

    debate you ? No I'm going to debunk you.

    Whyte hadn't beaten anybody beforehand. The fight was also British level. Whyte eventually got knocked out by Fury in less rounds without Fury getting hurt which says a lot, considering Fury just struggled with Ngannou


    Pulev was old as crap, and didn't have any notable wins around the age, or arguably even beforehand. Pulev also lost to chisora just afterwards

    Who has takam beaten. Actually the real question is who hasn't beaten Takam

    Besides only beating aj himself, Ruiz struggled with an older version of Ortiz, that Wilder beat twice. Couldn't even knock him out despite Ortiz getting dropped by Charles martin

    Joseph Parker lost to whyte, got ko'd by Joyce, drew with Chisora.

    lost to Ortiz and Anderson. And Anderson is a prospect with no wins besides journeyman Jerry Forrest ?

    Who has he beaten. Don't mention Whyte (challenge, impossible for Ovah)

    A shopworn Whyte who'd been KOed multiple times. Joshua got him fresh and was green himself. Great win.

    Old and seasoned. Well-experienced. Another great win.

    Olympic Gold Medallist Tony Yoka for starters. And Fury via his proxy Ngannou.

    So why is Wilder ducking him?

    And what does Ortiz getting dropped by Martin have to do with Ruiz also dropping him multiple times and winning?

    Former recognised belt holder and undefeated iron jawed super quick handed athletic specimen. That cuts the mustard, however you try to split it.

    Gave both fighters hell. Joshua blitzed him in two rounds. Which clearly shows their respective levels.

    Jerry Forrest, Zhang near-conqueror

    Whyte didn't beat anyone beforehand and got KO'd afterwards quicker by Fury and he didn't get hurt. That balances it out if you wanna go there.
    That could just as easily be a description of a tough journeyman plus I didn't hear any wins. Not enough.
    Tony Yoka who accomplished nothing in the pros ? Not a good win. You're trolling
    As of now ? Wilder called him out, aj never responded

    Although that's besides the point. Results are all that matter. This is pure opinion
    No it doesn't, or is this era that pathetic ?
    By that logic Wilder one shotting Helanius and Breazeale in the 1st round meanwhile aj took 7 rounds, dropped multiple rounds in the process and getting busted up clearly shows their respective levels. Have yet to see a notable win
    "Near Conqueror" Zhang himself stated medical problems on the run-up to that fight but regardless it doesn't matter. 0 wins. Lost to Washington and more . Fun fact Gerald Washington also KO'd Helanius

    How about Povetkin who'd only lost to Wlad and went on to spark Whyte?
