    lol. I saw them. I lived them. Michael Spinks retired wealthy with his health in tact and a secured spot in the HOF. Tubbs continued to fight on as a veteran and managed to pick up some decent wins before doing this thing called “ getting old”. Biggs and Thomas spiraled down largely due to their own lifestyle choices but that doesn’t erase what they were at the time. And Tucker at age 35 entered the ring with Lennox Lewis with a 50-1 record and still survived the distance.

    Care to take a guess at what the futures of Fury, Dubois and Joshua are gonna look like ?

    "Better h2h fighters" so it's all based on hypothetical scenarios that never happened. Great to know. You literally called Fury an all time great regardless of his thin resume and trash performances despite not having beaten several top fighters, you cannot be trusted

    Perceived h2h qualities is a less tangible quantification than resume but while we're on that path, Anthony Joshuas h2h abilities have to be the most overrated that I've ever seen in my life. That dude would lose to Michael Dokes and Tony Tucker. Dubois is even worse, a bigger less skilled Frank Bruno.

    Resume isn't what fights the fighters do. Problem with lot of posters here is many people don't watch fights, only read the records of boxers or read other people's perspective of the fight and base their rankings on that. Leads to a false impression of many fights and the fighters in those fights.

    You’re fearful of listing out their ranking in The Ring.

    James Smith probably had a better resume than Dubois at the their time of their matches with Tyson and Usyk. I'd love to see anyone argue that Smith is a better win.

    I watch all the fights, and oh my goodness is aj overrated. People have been so deluded and put in trance by his size and combinations people were saying he was better than Lewis LOL the Mike Tyson effect, except Tyson actually achieved way more and would drill joshua into the canvas inside of 4 rounds. There are people here who don't have a clue about boxing claiming that aj is more skilled than Lennox Lewis and Riddick Bowe just because he can put punches together, joshuas literally has worse defense than either of them but he had the power to hide this and people don't see it. People saying he would beat prime Wladimir Klitschko, Foreman, Holyfield, no, I've had enough.

    Dubois is literally a bigger, less skilled Bruno. He does nothing better than Bruno

    Why do you take extremes? AJ also gets dumped on a lot also.

    I literally have people in this thread getting fidgety over h2h rankings, but Usyk also dominates on Ring rankings so nobody wants to see those.

    Yeah after he got whooped by a fat man, got half his his resume exposed to be guys in their 40s, went haywire on Usyks mic, and then got smoked by Dubois after everyone and his team were claiming he looked better than ever before.

    Joshua wasn't anywhere near as good as he was hyped up to be. I had to argue with someone just a week ago that Lewis was more skilled than joshua. They still think he's an atg talent it's infuriating because it's nonesense
