Yes, Joshua has 2 losses, but he also has wins over Klitschko, Whyte, Povetkin, Pulev, Parker.
These two are the most recognizable names in division.
In 1996, Holyfield had like 3 losses, Mike Tyson had 1 loss and it was still a big fight.
So, yeah, if one guy has a loss or more of them, this doesn`t just ruin a big fight. Not in heavyweight division.
I'd still like to see it despite the done being taken off it somewhat. If/when AJ losses to Usyk again, I think it'll probably be dead in the water unless fury loses to wilder too.

It definitely is, and you are right about the losses, the only problem is going to be is that if Usyk wins again, then Joshua would be coming into the fight with 2 losses in a row, despite it being to the same guy, and Fury would feel as though he'd get little credit for the win. If say, Joshua did lose two in a row, but bounced back with two great wins, then it would be a big fight again. It will just need some time if Joshua loses again, this is, assuming Fury beats Wilder. Nash out.
About as big as Kell Brook vs Amir Khan ever was. That is until they delayed it to the point that both are headed to retirement.
I feel like AJ and Tyson have too much pride to let the other get a "W" on them. They'd rather avoid that if it is unnecessary to truly make it happen. That is until they waive like 50 million dollars a piece in front of them, lol.
Always a danger they'd lose. But still a great fight. Just cos usyk beat Josh don't mean fury does, so we still want to know who wins out of the 2 big lumps.
I don't think it is mandatory, that Joshua vs Fury has to happen for the Undisputed titles.
Fury could lose vs Wilder, and Joshua could win vs Usyk 'Which I think is going to happen regarding Joshua'.
For me, what is more important is producing a fight for the undisputed title.
I never bought into mass hysteria and hype of Fury vs Joshua, or agreed with people who just wanted to see that fight 'Even if it was not for the titles'.
For sure, both of them could lose by knockout in their upcoming fights and a fight between the two would still be a lucrative pay per view in the UK.
Just wouldn't be the blockbuster it would have been if it was made this year.
