Until recently I was reading in this forum posts of people who said that Fury, Joshua and Wilder represented the evolution of the category: taller, heavier, more powerful than their predecessors. Joshua is almost done, Wilder is just a hoot for KDs and KOs fans, now it's up to Fury who losing to Usyk will completely shatter that wretched "super heavyweight theory" which like a virus has been infecting the minds of boxing fans for some time now. It's Usyk that represents the real evolution of the category because he is the total improvement of the technique and of the boxing intelligence in the most brutal category.
This is where it gets interesting cos Fury is a super heavyweight with skills comparable to Usyk. AJ is done, as you said, and Wilder probably is too. Both had so much smoke blown up their arses before their defeats. It's doubtful anything other than reincarnation can revive them now.
As I posted, great victory over Anthony Joshua, but also as I posted before, time will tell, if you are right, then I am willing to buy in. I am like a person from Missouri, I have to be shown. I just don't buy the first thing I see, I need proof of it's worth first and quality. I am like that with all new champions, when Carlos Monzon knocked out Nino Benvenuti in Nov 1970, I said to many, only time will tell. He became one of my favorite champions, he proved to me of his greatness. The same thing with Muhammad Ali in 1965, he proved his greatness to me. I do not like to be made to look foolish. Larry Holmes, Salvador Sanchez and Matthew Saad Muhammad were other examples.
You don't need to have One punch KO power to destroy opponents. For example - AJ got TKO'ed in Ruiz fight, but he was walking around the ring when fight was over. When Usyk fought him, altough Usyk did not even drop him, when fight was finished, he set in his corner for about 5 minutes. His body language and face expressions are enough to see when he was more damaged.
