    No he did get KO'd by Wilder, but Fury cannot beat by a man born of a woman. Apparently you have 10 seconds to un-KO yourself. Something which has never been done in HW boxing but Fury did it.

    OF COURSE he will get into the HOF

    Long-standing Unified Champ - and one of the only "Stadium-filling" stars in the sport.

    If AJ retired today, and got in the HOF with his thin resume...that would be a disservice IMO.

    No, but I’m sure he’ll get in due to popularity.

    This has to be a joke…

    Champions and former champions beaten:
    - 41 year old inactive Klitschko who got dragged out of retirement for a final payday
    - Parker, who won a vacant belt
    - Charles Martin, who won a vacant belt
    - Andy Ruiz, who was only a champion because Joshua got battered by him the first time

    You are insane if you think that is top 10 of all time material…

    I really don't think I overrate him at all.
    Not a fan of his, but cant deny what he has done in so few fights

    Why would he have to fight Wilder?
    You could say Wilder hasn't fought Joshua and Wilder has had many more fights than Joshua and hadn't won a world title when he had has as many fights as Joshua has had.

    Sure Joshua lost to Ruiz. I had heard that he went into that fight still suffering from a ko he suffered in sparring. I don't think that punch Ruiz caught Joshua with was harder than the punch Wladimir knocked Joshua down with.
    Look at how clearly Joshua won the return.
    I do think it was Ruiz's night on that night as I think if they fought 10 times that Joshua would likely win 7/8 times and was caught at the right time, but that is only my opinion

    Nope. But given the pathetically low standards of the Boxing Hall of Fame, he'll probably get in.

    When did wlad retire? Still in training but was mucked about with Fury who couldn't sell any tickets on his home town. Wlad turn up lighter than he had done in many years

    Parker - who beat Ruiz and Wilder ducked.

    Charles Martin, - Yes up there with one of ever poorest WCs but he doesn't make AJs top 7 best wins.

    Are you forgetting Whyte,, Povetkin and Pulev?

    I'm interested, name 15 better record in the HW divison?

    Was John McDermott's mother a man, or was his father a woman?
    Fury is heading to HOF status and he was beaten fair and square by big ol McD, only to be Taylor'd on the scorecards.
