Both lost. Anything to be learned about who is the better fighter or who would win between AJ and Fury can only be learned in the ring if they face each other.
Both were arguably up until the 9th, but then lost conclusively.
Fury obviously almost KOd though (in some eyes should've been).
Doesn't really matter which was closer thiugh, Usyk is a beast in the second half of fights.
The only thing that was close in Fury-Usyk were his shorts and his nipples.
He nearly got KO'd ffs.
EDIT: "Nipples" are verboten here, too, apparently.
I had 4-2 Fury after 6 completed, I.e fury comfortably ahead.
AJ was never ahead against Usyk let alone looked like winning.
That's your opinion.
On the cards, though, he was up after 9 in the second fight and had just had his best round of either contest.
I won't bring my opinion into it. But the facts are as above.
I scored Usyk 115-112 over Fury, I'm trying to remember what I scored Joshua 2, I think it might have been 115-113 Usyk, but I can't remember for certain off the top of my head. But I know for a fact I scored the Briedis fight a draw at 114-114
Fury Usyk. I only gave Fury 4,5 and 6 but could've arguably given him 2 more if I was being very generous. I gave AJ 4 rounds in total over both Usyk fights.
Joshua legitimately won rounds and didn’t get backed up an entire fight ,Fury missed most of his punches and was hitting gloves 90% of the time .
The Joshua fight was decided in the last 3 rounds and he had Usyk badly buzzed in the 9th round and was never close to being knocked out like Fury was
That's all true. But I also don't think Joshua ever looked to have Usyk's number the way Fury did (or at least looked like he did) in that 6th round. He really looked good in that round and Usyk looked just a bit desperate. Though for all the praise, it really was only the 6th round and just a handful of body shots and two decent uppercuts.
There's not much to take out of their respective fights regarding how they would fare against each other. The only things I really took from them is that there have been two myths about them:
1. Joshua has no stamina. Fury has endless stamina.
They were very similar paced fights and Fury was gassed early. Joshua didn't exactly fire at 100% to the end but I don't see this mythical huge gap in their respective gas tanks.
2. Joshua is chinny. Fury has a great chin.
Both got hit by the left hand regularly. Only one was heavily impacted. Fury's ability to fight through the haze is better than Joshua's (he seems to freeze when buzzed), but Joshua was never separated from his senses against Usyk like Tyson was. I don't think there's a big gap here either.
I would still love to see Joshua v Fury. I've always thought Joshua wins regardless of how they might fare against common opponents. I didn't see anything in their Usyk fights to change my mind.

The Joshua fight was decided in the last 3 rounds and he had Usyk badly buzzed in the 9th round and was never close to being knocked out like Fury was so why are people voting Fury ? Oh it’s boxing scene never mind . Lol
so the Joshua fight was closer but you still have it as a clear win for Usyk?
I could give fury 3 rounds and i think i could give joshua possibly 3 rounds but fury dominated round 5 and 6 whereas joshua didnt dominate any round without taking decent shots back
