    :lol: What??! Seeing as I've not claimed AJ's resume great, WTF is your point? BTW, I am a fan of DW. Just not a rabid fanatic like you.

    Only overrated by a small portion of his fans. Similar to the op and a certain fighter.

    He feinted Wilder out of position all night any boxer that doesn`t use feints is overrated.

    Canelo is a better offensive fighter than Fury.

    Ryan Garcia. He has six million ig followers and is a "champion".

    And? Clenelo is currently rated p4p #1. Fury is not rated in the top 10. Therefore latter is not overrated... but Alvarez is.

    I expect both Fury and Wilder to beat Joshua. Wilder is all wrong for Joshua imo. He can't stick and move, Wilder doesn't need to get inside. One mistake, and he's in recovery mode.

    Joshua is technically better, and has finallly developed a much less robotic skillset and shed that useless muscle mass, but I don't think he'd cope with Wilder's athleticism, power and unorthodox nature at all. Would be glad to be wrong, because he made a fan out of me in the rematch.

    For me he’s the best HW out there at the moment, Wlad fight was dull but he beat the man of the division at the time in his own back yard, can’t knock that, but the Wider fights I’m still kinda sceptical on, as in I’m still not sure on how good Wilder actually is (or isn’t). Don’t get me wrong, Fury beat him senseless in the second fight and should of got the nod in the first but I’d definitely like to see Fury beat Joshua to cement his resume before he gets labelled ATG. As well as seeing what happens with Wilder now, as I can’t lie, the fraud stench coming from Wilder is too strong to ignore at the moment for me.

    Saying that I’m pretty confident Fury beats Joshua to become undisputed and proves he’s not that “over rated” at all.

    No. I'd question your own judgement about Fury cupcake rather than other peoples considering you said it was a mismatch & picked Wilder to KO & retire him :lol:

    Fury is top 2 right now. Looked very good in his last fight vs someone I never rated. Historically, a bit above average but that’s about as special as it gets. He benefits from a very weak era and a Brit fan base that makes a sport of overrating their fighters....and who are probably at this moment furiously trying to find ways to insult me over the butthurt.
