Who has the best five wins? I have listed each guy's best 5 victories. How do they compare? Who's is better?
Tyson Fury
1. Wladimir Klitschko - Prime Wlad, unified champion, away from home. Won 10 of the 12 rounds.
2. Deontay Wilder 2 - Destroyed the hardest puncher in history away from home.
3. Deontay Wilder 1 - Won but robbed to a draw against the superb Wilder away from home.
4. Braun Strowman - Beat the beast, in his own sport of WWE. Amazing win.
5. Derek Chisora 2 - Nobody has beaten Chisora so convincingly. Let's not forget, on top of Chisora's wins over Takam and Malik Scott, he has also really beat Dillian Whyte, Robert Helenius, Joseph Parker, and could have had a draw vs Usyk.
Anthony Joshua
1. Wladimir Klitschko - Joshua came from behind and off the floor against the now-contender, Wlad. No longer a champion, inactive and and past his best, but Joshua did very well to score a KO win.
2. Andy Ruiz - Revenging his first loss against an out-of-shape Andy Ruiz. It wasn't exciting, or highly skilled like Fury vs Wlad, but sometimes, you just have to get the job done, and he did.
3. Dillian Whyte - An exciting slugfest that Joshua edged.
4. Aleksandr Povetkin - After losing the first six rounds, Joshua landed a great shot that Povetkin never really recovered from.
5. Joseph Parker - it was dull, but Parker was an unbeaten champion at the time. Joshua took an 8-4/7-5 points win.
Fury also beat:
Ortiz twice by virtue of beating Wilder
Usyk by virtue of beating a younger Chisora who gave Usyk some problems years later
Wlad a second time because he 'had his number' and was good in the press conferences
Joshua by virtue of AJ losing to Ruiz in the US, where Fury has won
He's also got big wins over alcoholism, mental health, drugs (recreational and performance enhancing) and UKAD.
In fact, if you're comfortable with not looking at his actual resume, he's probably the best ever.
Good points. I believe he is the best HW ever.

Fury has never fought 5 decent HW's let alone win against them. Joshua's CV is miles better and he's been fighting professionally half the time of Fury and Wilder.
It really amazes me fight fans give Wilder and Fury so much slack for fighting basically nobody for 12 years.
Joshua might have more names overall, but the best three wins between them are Fury's. Wlad (when he was unified champ) Wilder, and Strowman.

Aj has the better resume. He's beaten lots of top heavys, Fury has beaten 3. I think Ajs win over Wlad was more impressive than people think as glad was sharp and well up for that fight, he looked jaded against fury although could be argued Fury didn't let him look good. Furys win over chisora is v impressive as he totally outclassed him. Its fairly close but aj for me and the whyte win has grown in stature as whyte has been winning so much,
