How can so many people be fooled so easily?

Then i guess that invalidates furys win over wlad as well.

 

Gifted Gold

Bought his first belt against Charles Martin

Wlad almost buried him in a life and death fight

Beat down by a little fat man


All forgivable, what isn't forgivable and will catch up to him ESPECIALLY against Fury is his weak mentality. Looking at him he knows this also, can't even cover it up with delusion like Wilder.

 

They were some of the best of the previous generation, despite their advanced age and clearly past it.
So, it's still somewhat of a measuring stick, because despite not being at the level as they once were, they were still better as the vast majority of today's challengers. The division is just weak, that's all.

 

Yeah, no greats like Wallin in that bunch.

Has Fury ever faced a ranked opponent when he didn't have the chance to win a title?

 

To put things into perspective regarding Pulev, his best win is arguably a 42 year old Tony Thompson...

 

Fury the man who has never defended a belt

Yet walks into fights with undefeated and long-reigning belt holders and DECIMATES Them

Three of them, Wlad, Wilder and soon to be AJ

Almost as if belts are meaningless plastic GARBAGE and title defenses really arn't all that important.

What matters in boxing is who you fight, when you fight them and HOW you beat them.

 

No, you're the first one to point this out. Thanks for the amazing insight.

He's beaten five of the current top 10, though. Please point out other fighters that have done this. Fury's count is on one.

 

Yeah, it matters who you fight. And he has managed to face all of two ranked guys. That's about a fifteenth of what greats like Ali and Louis did.

Wallin was actually one of his better non-title opponents.

 

Yeah because Fury has such a stacked resume.

Joshua has fought for the titles and/or fulfilled his mandatories. Whoever they happened to be, he doesn't choose them believe it or not.
Takam
Povetkin
Pulev
Wlad

Aside from that he has avenged his loss against a tough Andy Ruiz.

He's also beaten the bucks in -
Joseph Parker
Dillian Whyte
Dom Breazeale
Charles Martin

Joshua's opponents cannot be questioned. He has beaten who he had to(including accomplished fighters). He also has the best resume, comfortably.

Now he gets to really prove his level against the only man who deserves to challenge him - Tyson Fury.

 

What's your current top 10 ?

 

Joshua can only beat who is put in front of him.

Pulev and Povetkin despite there ages are both widely regarded as top 10 Heavyweights, Povetkin by some is as high as top 5. Povetkin just scored a KO over highly ranked Whyte and Pulev has remained unbeaten since his loss to Klitschko 7 years ago.

Also they were both mandatories so they earnt their shots by being active and winning.

They are both solid wins, yes they are old but they are both still able to operate at the highest level and be dangerous.

 

Charles Martin is perhaps the most questionable "world title holder" in heavyweight history.
Dominic Breazeale and Eric Molina are highly questionable world title challengers.
