    The only emotional person here is you. You're picking your feelings over the facts. And facts are, AJ was universally ranked as number 1 heavyweight on the planet since April 2017 to June 2019. Wilder admitted to declining the AJ fight himself. Also, admitted to decline DAZN deal even tho according to himself the deal was genuine, Again, you're picking your feelings over what really happened.

    As you hold to the same standard and mentioned stopping opponents
    Do you rate Joshua's win over Wladimir as greater than Fury's as outpointed Wladimir and Joshua stopped him
    Same with the Wallin or Ngannou results if you feel that way?
    I personally don't see it that way as all fights are different, but you seemed more clear on that stance

    I don't think everyone that posts, supports or is always a fan
    Some are just subjective

    You openly admit to being a Fury fan, and certainly nothing wrong with that imo but you still have try and look at all angles

    Fury and Joshua won their first world titles Nov 2015 and Apr 2016
    So within 6 months of each other
    Come the end of 2018

    Fury made 0 defences and was 1-0-1 in world title fights

    Joshua made 6 defences won 2 unification bouts was 7-0-0 in world title fights

    Even now in title defences

    Fury - Wilder, Whyte, Chisora

    Joshua - Wladimir, Parker, Povetkin, Pulev, Breazeale, Takam, Molina

    It is all subjective but isn't wrong to look at all sides

    Absolutely not. Fury had an easier time with Wlad, fought a younger Wlad when Wlad had the belts. Wallin and Ngannou are small fry

    Again, you are a consumer of a product. You don't know what goes on behind the scenes. You may think you do, but you have no idea. Both boxers want to maximize money and they trust a team of others to make that happen. Wilder got in there with many serious threats, including a totally unnecessary and insane 3rd Fury fight. Joshua? Ran from Dubois II.

    Try to see reason and look at the situation from a perspective other than Joshua's biggest fan.

    Which shows that you don't hold all to the same standards.
    I doubt Fury would think of Wallin or Ngannou as small fry? One cut him and hurt him and the other knocked him down and fought him to a close decision
    Either way, I have totally smashed your agenda and shown your double standards

    Fury looked terrible but they aren't big names in boxing and didn't officially beat him so no. aj fought a 41 year old inactive beltless Wlad and still went life and death. Fury didn't get dropped once. The bodybuilder isn't fit to lace Furys boots.

    Aj should rematch Dubois, he still needs to get his get back after getting bullied around the ring and put to sleep

    Again, all you do is pour out your feelings. I'm talking about facts. And you would be the last one to know what happens behind the scenes if you can't even get your facts right over emotions.

    What on earth are you going on about?
    So if someone doesn't look good against a non big name fighter to you, you don't judge it the same?
    I have shown you very clearly how as much as you like to deny it, you have very double standards

    No, you think aj going life and death with an older beltless Klitschko compares to aj beating him. Aj fanboy. None of those guys offically beat Fury despite the circumstances and their names do nothing for ajs resume. Fury is superior get over it
