    Fury's two wins against Wilder or Usyk's two wins against Joshua?

    Uysk beating AJ x 2 of course

    Fury was fighting a one-trick pony dosser who can't fight and who he's much heavier than

    Usyk beat the second best HW of this generation who is a lot bigger and heavier than him

    Both Baptism II and III were deeply satisfying though because The Dosser's fanbase is as grotesque as waking up in the middle of the night and finding a naked Lou Dibella on top of you

    I enjoyed the Fury-Wilder fights, but Usyk was the smaller man beating a better heavyweight than Wilder.

    So Usyk's wins were more impressive.

    Usyk outboxed much better opponent with better skillset and resume in his prime , his opponent was bigger, stronger and more powerful than him and he still did it without getting knocked down.
    Doing that while your opponent has all physical advantages is way more impressive than winning war against unskilled can crusher like wilder.

    As i said before and i'm not trying to hate on anyone, but wasn't Wilder known as the bum killer with a very padded record ? and now just because he showed some heart vs Fury in 3rd fight. He seems to have been elevated 10 folds, all it says to me is if Fury is some type of boxing wizard, how did someone as limited as Wilder have him on the canvas 4 times ? did we underrate Wilder ? or is Fury not quite the boxing wizard we portray him as ?

    Just to compare Joshua hits very hard himself, and punches with better technique than Wilder and is alot bigger than Usyk, and hits hard with both hands not just right hand. Yet Usyk won both fights without any drama and didn't visit the canvas either.

    I can understand why people would pick Fury, and that choice is okay.

    I just feel like Usyk's wins over Joshua are better overall, due to the quality of the opposition, coming up in weight and the manner in which he outclassed his opponent.

    Both were great feats.

    Usyk is one of a small number of cruiserweights to win titles at HW. Many cruisers have tried and failed at HW.

    The common consensus leading up to Fury/Wilder 1 was that Fury was ruined from the cocaine, depression, and weight gain. He proved that wasn't the case and then obliterated Wilder in the second fight.
