    He stopped Usyk`s movement, once Usyk could get away it was all over, Chis was cheating.

    It depends.

    Clinch: Fury , Ruiz, Briedis for CW and HW top 10.
    Then might calculate other things here and there will be difference.

    Usyk clearly, Master technician at boxing. Fury is a somewhat close second. Joshua is just too far behind them in ring iq and mastery of the dimensions of boxing. Fury and Usyk are up there with Lewis, Holmes, Ali, and Young at being able to play 4D chess in that ring.

    But regardless they're on the same level and Joshua has the most potential. I've always seen it that way. He started boxing at 18 and has achieved almost as much as Fury in a FAR quicker amount of time. He wasn't that experienced going into the ring with Klitschko and Ruiz. I predict he'll reach his absolute prime at 34 or 35 and i think he'll have supassed prime Wladimir Klitschko. He's still learning A LOT and he's already on that level while people still wonder whether Fury peaked against Wilder or Klitschko

    The narrative that that Fury is miles ahead of Joshua technically is laughable. His jab connect percentage is a good bit lower and his punch technique isn’t nearly as good as Joshua’s. But yeah do a few daft feints and move your head a bit and have the fans creaming their boxers. Ridiculous.

    I agree with the jab percentage, AJ is far more economical with his punches, but feints are key in setting up shots, AJ sometimes feints by throwing soft jabs without commiting, he will need to do that v Fury to keep him guessing, and Fury`s head movement is very good and better than any fighter AJ has fought up to now.

    Fury has the best technique. Comparing a 275 pounds monster to a 215 lbs small man. Disgraceful.

    his headmovement is well beyond Joshuas and he had a field day with Klitschko, Joshua not so much. But then again Joshua engaged with Klitschko, Fury not so much. I've always said it is a 50/50 fight. I remember seeing Klitschko get agressive in round 12 and give Fury trouble so Joshua can definitely give him trouble and beat him. I'll be rooting for Aj but its a tossup

    With beltless 41 y.o Wlad to build his resume and hype up.

    Sure, this is the same fighter. Ali in 1980 th had the same age and shape as in 1973 th for sure.

    Usyk weighed more in his last fight than Wilder did in his first fight v Fury.

    Ali had parkinson`s in 1980 and Wlad was in better shape v AJ than Ali was in most of his bouts after the Foreman fight.

    The weigh in took place on November 30, on a made platform outside the Los Angeles Convention Center. Fury stepped on the scale first and weighed in at 256½ pounds, his lightest since his comeback following his lay off. The weight was only 2 pounds less than he weighed in August 2018 against Francisco Pianeta, but he looked leaner. Wilder was next to step on and came in at 212½ pounds, his lowest since his debut in 2008 when he weighed 207¼ pounds. For his last bout, Wilder weighed 214 pounds, however it was cited that Wilder suffered from an illness during his training camp.

    Most damage Ali from 70 ies had get were from : Shavers ( he even talked slower and started to answer questions with delay after this one ) and Frazier. Sure Foreman too had damaged him.
    ohh, this not good for guy of course.


    Ohh, there so high number of fighters suffered from damages but if they are not from big countries then this is only excuse, especially if fighter had won this one, then no one even cares there.
    For the same Usyk too. for others too.

    Usyk and it's not even close. However he's 3-6 inches smaller and 50-70 pounds lighter.
