    The little feather fisted cruiser whose best win at Hw might be shot old delboy chisora needs to fight a heavy who has bettered his own HW resume: he has a few options available to him, let’s assess the landscape:

    USKY Chisora UD 12:
    Fury KOd the same shot old chisora, and schooled twice the prime version.
    Whyteleafe also bettered USKY when he KOd the shot version of del, and Fury also KOd that version of Whyteleafe without breaking a sweat. Shot to pieces old pulev also should have got the nod against shot old del.

    Joshua UD 12:
    Ruiz KOd that version of Joshua AND made him QUIT like a dog. The best USKY could muster up was making Joshua sketch out on the mic postfight. Ruiz made Joshua pull wheelies on his bicycle around New York for a few weeks.

    For context, Joseph twelve Parker also beat Ruiz over twelve then Joseph Juggernaut Joyce bludgeoned twelve Parker in less than twelve. Joshua then struggled for twelve against a feather fisted little pudding who already lost to whyteleafe over twelve.

    Conclusion: Joyce and Ruiz would both add value to USKYS threadbare heavyweight resume.

    Joshua franklin Whyteleafe and Parker can all be considered to sit around the same table where anyone can beat anyone. Chuck shot old del into that mix if you have to. Pulev too, why not.

    If Wilder KOs USKY what does this do for the resume and historical standing of

    USKY
    Ruiz
    Joyce
    Parker

    Got to be Ricky Hatton v Naz

    This is the fight that the Heavyweight division needed for about 20 years.

    This era is better defined by non fights. Notably Usyk v Tyresome Fury unable to be made. That sums up this extremely inactive cherrypicking era nicely.

    I agree. Fury USKY will happen if USKY stays undefeated at heavy. If he loses to Wilder or Dubois, Fury becomes the defacto King of the era without fighting. Maybe Fury beats up the obese middleweight who has a better win at heavy than USKY does.

    Fury is an alphabet champ to me after his duck. Not fighting won’t earn him **** in my eyes.

    All the alphabet champs are alphabet champs. The belts have never made the champion. Fury beat the man in his own backyard. Charles Martin won a vacant belt from some plumber from Uzbekistan with a sprained knee. Then Martin sold it to Barry Hearns for eight million GREENBACKS. Alphabet soup.

    Exactly belts mean nothing. Hench Povetkin's run at HW rates him higher than Wilder.

    Funny how people who claim champions to be alphabet champions for holding belts then go on to proclaim fury being great for dethroning “long reigning champion” Wilder.

    Thread makes very little sense. Joyce and Ruiz would add value to Wilder Fury and Usyks resume.

    And by saying Ruiz holds more credence at HW because of the AJ win means little as Usyk has beaten him. And again in the rematch (something you conveniently miss out that Ruiz didn’t).
