    Fury has 3 good wins; old Wlad and two over Wilder. I guess we can call the first Chisora fight and the Wallin wins decent. So that’s 5.

    Canelo is overrated but has depth in his resume. Lots of solid wins vs Jacobs, Smith Jr, Saunders, old Kov, Charlie, Plant etc. none of these guys were great but they were solid fighters.

    Canelo has stayed active and has beaten a decent number of good fighters.

    I agree Fury is overrated but i would rate Wilder to be about as dangerous as Shavers or Kyle. The Wilder wins were good wins.

    No one is going to remember Lomachenko, Canelo (whether we like it or not) is going to be celebrated after he retires, so is Crawford, and I think as time goes on Crawford is going to be looked at even more favorably than anyone in this current era. Nobody underrates Usyk (almost universally he's considered the greatest or 2nd greatest CW ever and I don't think anyone considers him anything other than the #1 HW of this era). And Fury isn't being underrated, we have eyes and see what he's become.

    Yes Usyk is the #1:HW of this era by beating a bodybuilder who is about to get chinned by Francis next week.

    Yes. And tbf Canelo didn't whine when the deck was stacked against him, when Floyd and Cotto inserted catch weights.

    Usyk will be the winner of this era if he beats Fury. After him Inoue unless something very unexpected happens.

    Loma will be well remembered for his skill and willingness to fight anyone (well, maybe not Shakur), but he doesn't have those signature wins and time is running out to get them.

    Canelo will certainly be one of the big names, but he's lacking a clear win over a top of the heap fighter in his prime and I can't see him getting one right now. If he beats Benavidez then the word will be that Benavidez never really beat anyone.

    A convincing win over Benavidez would be the best way he could realistically end his career, but mark my words that those who are screaming duck now will say that Benavidez wasn't even good enough to stop Plant if Canelo beats him.

    If Fury beats Usyk without controversy he will go down as the best HW of the post Wlad generation, unless he loses to Joshua afterwards. But if he beats Usyk and retires, he's the man of this generation. That will always go a long way when it's at HW.

    No he was regular champion, until he was bumped up without a fight.

    The cruiserweight Steve Cunningham not known for his power dropped Fury. Neven feather fists Pajkic also put him over. Wilder put him over multiple times and before you say Wilder has the hardest punch ever tell me who he's knocked out anybody in the top 10 wouldn't likely knock out and now a boxing debutant has put him on his backside. All the above doesn't mean if Ngannou can knock Fury down he can knock AJ down it just shows how easy Fury goes down that's all. In essence your comparison demonstrates Fury being overated. This bull that he moves like a middleweight is nonsense. He's big and clumsy and gets caught often.

    Ok that’s enough internet for you today. Crawford and Lomachenko are ATGs. Loma has barely boxed in his correct weight class during the second part of his career.

    Who is underrating Usyk? He’s quality. Fury just has size. Lennox would have destroyed him.

    I wouldn’t say over rated. I would say they are as good as can be without being ATG. I would rank them along guys like Cotto, Tim Bradley and Carl Froch. Good enough to beat almost everyone around but missing a little something to never be forgotten. I guess Cotto won’t be forgotten in PR though.
