    Are you high Fury and Usyk are both clear 1a and 1b and are top of everyone’s list as the two best, Fury is actually the betting favourite in the fight but yet somehow you believe AJ who has no belts, no big wins in the last 3 fights and is 3-2 in the last five is ahead of Fury.

    Can I get some of this stuff your smoking

    The event was cancelled, this does not mean that Usyk cannot fight with Hrgovic at another date, why not complete the event with this fight in March where Joshua vs. Ngannou fight, let's be real, no one should rely on Fury's potential recovery because he will find another way out...

    So you believe the Fury photo of the Klitschko fight as well, right? It was a "legit" photo of Fury sprained sprained ankle as well, right ?

    Why on the earth you would believe a serial liar, that has done this already in the past, and use the same excuses, and show a "legit" photo of his ankle, just the "legit" photo of his eye now.

    It's not like we are in 2024 and you can fake literally everything.

    If he was planning on faking it why would he go through the hassle of signing for the fight and entering camp, not everything is a conspiracy and sometimes unfortunate things happen

    In your book maybe, in biased UK media and fanboys maybe, in my mind he was never number 1. AJ to me is always go to a job on him, and i always support this.
    Your guy, as you are clearly a fan just lost to a f**** Ngannou, who is a boxing novice. He was also gifted a win over McDermot.

    AJ avenged his lost to Ruiz 12-0. He lost to only 1 man, and that is Usyk.
    And why bringing his last 5 fights? Not just last 3, if you wanna be accurate or fair, bring his whole resume.
    30 fights, 27 wins, 24 KO.
    12 title fights.

    Your guy has just 6 title fights, 3 against Wilder, 1 against Chisora, 1 against Whyte, and one against Klitchko.
    Stellar resume for a a supposed number 1 guy.

    AJ still have the best resume in the HW division. And when he destroys Ngannou completely on March, Fury resume is done for good. Just as Parker did a job on Wilder, and AJ demolish Fury nightmare Wallin.

    Yeah AJ and Usyk to me are the clear 1 and 2 in the division.

    Joshua is clear number two until proven otherwise.

    The top four Heavyweights currently are Fury, Usyk, Joshua and Wilder. AJ has no wins against any of these and two losses to a guy he outweighed by 30 lbs

    To call AJ the second best heavyweight in the world because of some average wins over Wallin, Helenius and Franklin is stupid.

    Using an argument of his resume again doesn’t hold enough weight because if you look closely enough who were his best wins running away from Ruiz for 12 rounds after getting KO’d by him, Parker, Povetkin were never elite heavyweights and Klitschko was shot.

    If your cherry picking performances it can work the other way too look what Fury did to Whyte and Klitschko compared to AJ who struggled with both

    I’m as critical of Fury as anyone but he is the better boxer and if they fought would be the big favourite over AJ, his resume isn’t too far off AJs with wins over Klitschko, 3 over Wilder and Chisora, Whyte and Wallin. No disrespect to world beater Sefer Seferi

    Wilder was a top 4, like 5 years ago. Since he was schooled by Parker, he ain't even a top 10, let alone top 4. On top of that he was always a fraud, just like Fury. The moment he step up, he was exposed.

    The current top 4 or 5 are Usyk, AJ, Ngannou(who beats Fury), Hrgovic, Zhang, Parker.

    As far as AJ resume. you right there just prove you have no f**** idea what the heck you are talking.
    Firstly if Klitschko was shot, he was shot in the Fury fight as well. Klitschko was 39,7 years at that time.

    Secondable Povetkin was the second best fighter after Klitschko in that generation. He was on a big winning streak, though obviously past his best when AJ face him. But that was still dangerous Povetkin, who was on a big winning streak.
    Also Povetkin always was a top fighter.
    Now on to Parker, if he wasn't elite, how could a way worst version of Parker destroys Wilder 12-0 ?

    Fury won vs Klitschko was via 3 points.
    AJ TKO and retire Klitschko.
    Fury run twice from the rematch and retire.
    AJ beat unbeaten young and hungry Whyte, not just beat him, he do a job on him, taking his virginity away, aka his chin.
    Fury beat a washed version of Whyte, who was just KOed by old to s**** Povetkin.

    Fury should have lost via TKO to Wallin, a guy that AJ just destroyed.
    Fury struggle with Kevin f**** Johnson and AJ was the first to KO him inside 2 rounds.
    Fury lost to Ngannou, a guy who AJ will do a job on him once again.
    Fury lost to McDermot.

    Just because he was gifted, cause they were paying the bills, doesn't mean a s****. That still going to let a mark on your s**** resume.

    Again Fury has just 6 title fights, while turned PRO 5 years earlier than AJ. AJ has 12 World Title Fights. That speaks volume.
    Try to spin it as much as you like.

    P.P. And yeah we saw who is the better boxer in AJ - Wallin and Fury - Wallin. Wallin destroyed Fury eye + Wallin hurt Fury in the 12 round, while Fury never ever managed to hurt Wallin and needed to grab hold, lean, holding and hitting, aka all illegal tactics to take a win over Wallin, who wasn't ranked in top 50. AJ destroyed a better version of Wallin, who at the time AJ faced him was Number 2 IBF, and top 10 in every single ranking.

    Yeah nice try.

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/25699013/anthony-joshua-tyson-fury-usyk-cut-ngannou-saudi/

    The disastrous news comes just three months after the Gypsy King’s terrible performance in the narrow October points win over boxing debutant Francis Ngannou led to the four-belt showdown getting pushed back.

    London 2012 legend AJ leapt in and battered Otto Wallin to keep that December 23 Saudi Arabia show on, accepting just five weeks' notice.

    And SunSport understands the fearless 34-year-old would happily bring forward his March 8 clash with Ngannou, to keep the date with boxing’s Middle Eastern money men.

    A source inside AJ Boxing SunSport: “Anthony has saved the day before and there’s no doubt he would be willing to do it again.

    “After beating Wallin, AJ had a brief Christmas holiday in Dubai and was straight back in the gym preparing for Francis Ngannou.

    “AJ has been working with Saudi Arabia since 2019 and they know how dependable and trustworthy he is to deliver, even on short notice.”

    The show organisers have already been ordered to tear down all the temporary facilities erected in Riyadh, suggesting there will be no miraculous Plan-B, even with AJ's help.

    Fury jetted out to the desert on January 2 to begin his training camp but now needs expert surgery on the nasty gash and is likely to be out of action for around three months.

    I have no idea how to reply to this post I genuinely think something is wrong with you, Nganau is top five with one decent performance against a Fury who was clearly not taking it seriously. The fact that you use words like seconaldable which isn’t even English or maybe you can’t answer why if Klitschko was the same for both fights why did Fury school him while AJ was blowing out of his arse and nearly finished
