    For me Fury is the best HW on the planet and I back him to beat AJ.

    However if you don't rate AJ then you are a clown.

    Whyte, Wlad, Povetkin, Takam, Parker, Martin, Pulev, Ruiz......... he has the deepest resume of any active heavyweight by quite some distance.

    I can tell, when you start spouting pure lies to take away from actually good fighters just to diminish the resume of someone you dislike you're just being silly.

    I'd say that you have become a parody of yourself. But I think you've become a parody of the parody of yourself, at this stage.

    Jeez.

    Anthony Joshua is a very good boxer, but he's ludicrously overrated. His best win is a 41 year old, inactive Wladimir Klitschko who was just coming off of a loss, in his last ever professional bout, in his own back garden.

    The "best resume" crew are propagating the myth that Joshua has the best record because he's "had more defences", "fought more top 10's". The truth is, if you're boxing "top 10" guys, you might as well be boxing top 50 guys, because they are nothing more than steady eddies. Wins against Martin, Molina, Breazeale, Pulev and Ruiz are laughably weak. They are either useless, out of shape, or old. He's beaten Povetkin, who has never held a world title and is old. He's beaten Dillian Whyte who rocked him to the core despite having a blown shoulder and was in dreadful shape. You have to laugh at the "best resume" crew, and you have to go back to his marquee win. Fury has 3 (!) wins that are ahead of Joshua's one win, and none of them took place in his own back garden, with the comfort of brown enveloped refs and judges (Parker is a good example, who, was pretty useless anyway. However, Joshua was also useless).

    The "best resume" crew, also conveniently ignore the fact that he lost to a pudding in America, as if you can just forget about that. That's the funniest part. It's as if that doesn't degenerate the argument of him having the best resume whatsoever. Not even accounted for.
    The lack of oxygen in Joshua's arsecrack is doing your sanity no favours.

    ON THE MONEY

    You could go through any fighter in history and nit pick there record apart.

    Facts are Fury has the 2 single best wins of any active heavyweight but AJ has the deepest most impressive list of names.... which leads to why they are the two standout heavyweights in the world today.

    Now go and make a coco, coco.

    I, along with many others, believe there is daylight between Fury and the rest.

    If he defeats AJ convincingly then he simply regains what he never lost in the ring.

    And if that happens AJ's 'deep' résumé doesn't look so great.

    But repeating the same joke over and over again multiple times a day for years is a bit concerning.

    If Joshua beats Fury, people will talk about that win and not his 'deep resume'. If Joshua loses to Fury, people will talk about his loss not his 'deep resume'. Where the opportunity presents, an era's H2H trumps any other metric. Resumes are only highly relevant when two boxers from the same division have retired but never fought.

    Also I kinda like the term 'resume' when we consider how creative work resumes can be when trying to positively reflect accomplishments...

    Fury has one win over AJ not 3. Who’s the third person lol? Beating an older Wlad is still much more impressive that beating Wilder who’s a hypejob who can’t box.

    Its actually quit easy the hw champ always gets a sort of bonus, a lot of people had the top 3 p4p list in the 2010 as mayweather-wlad-pac or may-pac-wlad.
    Despite wlad fighting way worse opposition.
    Fury is also top p4p despite fighting so little and having no tittle defence.
    Once he unifies i wouldnt mind if people would put him on number 1, hw boxing is simply the top division.

    Lol neither AJ or Fury deserve the #1 spot if they win. Also Fury beating AJ isn’t a guarantee no matter how many times you tell yourself that. AJ is a very very live underdog.

    No. Fury will completely dominate him, there will be no competition in this fight, aj will get out jabed he wont find the proper distance and he will either quit or get koed mid rounds and then you will disappear just like that whyte dude after the pove fight.

    I don't understand either. He's top 3 or 4 at heavyweight, I personally think Wilder would spark him and I'm not confident that he could defeat a fully motivated Ruiz in a rubber match. Yet here we are today being sold on him and Fury being the most anticipated fight in years. I'm just not that excited about it, I'll watch but Joshua isn't that special to me.

    Lol he couldn’t even dominate Wallin. Fury is nowhere near as good as you think he is.
