    Lol He’d still be with Wladimir because he’d still be the champ and most likely right on the cusp of setting a new consecutive title defense record. Or he would have already set it and adding to it.

    He would probably train Wlad Klitschko, who would still be a champ.

    I think it is Fury.

    There is a video of an interview Stewart did not long before he died, and he talks about how he thinks Fury is the up and coming guy to look out for. Sounds to me from the interview he had some interested in training him. Stewart was good at training taller skilled guys like Fury how to dominate shorter(by heavyweight modern standards) men.

    And Lewis too. People "forgot" that Lewis also was VERY good at holding and used it often and very effectively in his fights

    Usyk was trained by Ali Bashir, who was Stewards right hand man, and he got fired.

    I think AJs handlers would have definitely forced him to train with Steward without a doubt.. Out of all the HW fighters now he’s the one who most compares to Wlad and Lennox Size and Skill wise.. Steward would force him to master that high guard defensive jab style to protect his chin..

    Fury and Usyk doesn’t pack the punch, Wilder doesn’t have the skills and Ruiz doesn’t have the size(height wise)

    Pretty sure we just saw a morbidly obese American beat the **** out of the UKs favorite steroid enhanced son.

    Talking smack while accomplishing nothing is a British tradition.

    Nah. Wlad was never beating Fury. Even at his best, Wlad had no chance against Tyson Fury. Fury is bigger, faster, and a high ring IQ. Wlad was never good at adapting mid-fight. Wlad was a great fighter but, a highly specialized fighter and too predictable for a savant like Fury.

    Usyk and Fury are too unorthodox.

    Joshua sits in the Steward mold of being tall, rangy and technically correct (although not as talented as Wlad and nowhere near as talented as Lewis).
