I'm a Joshua fan, but Fury is number one...the reason being he is unbeaten and his best wins are on par or better than Joshua's. But I think Joshua beats Fury. Styles make fights and I think Joshua would win. Fury is not unbeatable or invincible. He's been on the canvas multiple times and he can be found.
You know AJ was getting knocked down all over the place by a guy with like 2 weeks notice... That's TERRIBLE and way worse than losing to the BEST
Ruiz had a fight a month before his fight with AJ. He was in fighting shape and wasn't on the shelf. AJ didn't have a chance to prepare or go through a training camp fully preparing for Ruiz. He was preparing for a slow pressure fighter who leads and throws a lot of punches, not a quick/speedy front foot counter puncher with explosive bursts and combinations and throws them between your own punches. Still Joshua dropped him heavy and IMO would have won if he didn't get careless.
Go to a bookmaker then man...
You’ll get good odds and you’ll actually get paid out if it miraculously happens. Bets on sites like these never actually come to fruition.
I got Fury by stoppage...
I’m with you on Usyk, as long as he can transition properly he’ll be a force at HW.
I will do that. And i'm willing to bet people on here too. Fury is being anointed prematurely and talked about as if he is head and shoulder better than everyone in the division and I don't buy it at all.
Why because he has muscles ? what performance reasons do you have ?
None of these guys use steroids they are religiously clean as its their mantra, look up natural bodybuilders.

dude im black and I don't disparage or impugn the character of another black male (considering the world already does it) without serious reasons to do so. Holyfield was on steroids. If you believe otherwise you are naive.
I'd say quite clearly yes.
AJ can crack but isn't imo at least a true one punch knockout artist.
AJ clearly has dynamite in his hands. That one punch KO crap is a bunch of nonsense. Btw, did he not out Whyte to sleep with one punch?
There is a reason he is the only fighter to ever stop Povetkin
The only man to drop titanium chin Ruiz
You don't get frequent one punch KOs when you face top level opposition or top 10 opposition, but Joshua hurts people without even landing cleanly.

look at how much cleaner Wlad's punches landed. It may seem that he's a bigger puncher when really he was much more accurate and therefore devastating.
I don't know if I agree. Every time AJ touched Pulev with bad intentions, he hurt him. Wlad's hook was simply more devastating because Pulev did not seeing coming at all. Pulev braced for the punches Joshua hit him with and he still was hurt.
How does a scared fighter fight like Loma did in the championship rds ?
I'll give you cautious, though. And let's not forget how Teo was talking about KO's.
dude threw less than 50 punches for the first 6 to 7 rounds bruh
Scared? Loma was patient and listening to his father. Even up to round 7 his father was still telling him to be patient. It was a stupid plan and I have no idea what he was thinking.
AJ's trainer told him the same thing. Be cautious. Stay on the outside, be patient. AJ a warrior though and wanted to go to war even and did so on the inside even though his opponent was faster, quicker, and and a better inside fighter with more crisp punches.
Is Teofimo a better inside fighter than Loma? No. Loma is more skilled. Teo is more talented though and powerful. AJ wasn't scared to lose and go for broke, and he lost though, but I still respect his courage and gangsta.
Lomachenko is number 1 pound 4 pound no question. He takes dudes hearts. I never really seen someone dominate champions/tough competition like he has. It's like they couldn't even touch him
Not to mention Wlad was 2years inactive and coming back a loss and still almost KOed Joshua.
He wasn't inactive by choice. He didn't retire and come back. He had been in training camp and training for Fury but Fury pulled out multiple times. That is extremely different from being completely inactive or not even having a fight planned
I wonder what's so hard to understand about that, Hearn even admitted hes not going to entertain the $50mil because hes not willing to give up fighting in the UK in front of 70-90k. Hearn admitted the offer was legit but if hes not going to give up home field advantage then there was no reason to meet. Obviously the guy offering the largest money would want to dictate where the fight was held. Whats so hard to understand there?
Wilder is delusional for thinking he can dictate where the fight is and that he deserves a higher split. Even Mayweather was the B side before and took a fight where his opponent dictated terms to him when he fought. De La Hoya made Mayweather fight at a weight he never fought at before just to get that fight. Why the hell does Wilder think he can dictate terms to a unified champion with 4 belts and that is a cashcow. Wilder should be itching to take that fight to get all the belts and cement his legacy
...despite wanting to fight in September or October in his hometown.
So why is Haymon and his fighters not getting any criticisms for this?
If this is Arum or Oscar having tons of fighters in their stable,
all these floydhype fanboys would be all over them.
who could he fight? Horn is tied up. Thurman is injured. Garcia doesn't want to fight him. Who the **** do yall think he should be in the ring with?
If he fights a bum yall idiots will complain about him not fighting top competition so he has to wait it out until a champion becomes available.
Yeah but why he cherry picked a PED cheating bum Andre BUMto who got busted by VADA doe? He like fighting cheats? Why didn't he fought another cheat Margarito when Margarito called him out?
Well I know why cos he's a cherry picker.
TBC - The Best Cherrypicker :lol1::lol1:
he fought the guy that knocked Margarito out. The guy who also had PED allegations and made him submit to random blood and urine tests.
Do you really think Ward is technically better then Rigo?
No...Loma is also better technically and more skilled. I think a few fighters are more skilled. They don't have the resume though. Ward has the resume and has beaten the top guys. He's #1
Joshua isn't fighting Wilder so you can stop stalking him. You fanboys are all the same. You see who is the biggest threat against your G spot and you go hard on the smear campaign. Joshua isn't trying to fight Wilder so why do you give a **** what Wilder says or does? Do us all a favor and slit your wrist please.
Idk about all that. Joshua can't fight Wilder. He's tied up. He has to fight Klitschko in a rematch or he has to fight Pulev. Wilder can't be his next fight. Wilder should be going after Parker or fighting Whyte because that would be a big payday
Here he is turning his back. Trying to draw Ward to foul him so he can milk it.

great posts bro. props to you for these gifs. Gave you credit in the original post
Ward isn't black, he's biracial. I've said that time and time again on here. I'm black btw. I've also said Kovalev and GGG were hyped up and i'm not impressed by either. Lomachenko is truly impressive. The others? Nah!! I don't see it.
I would pick Adonis, a black fighter to beat Kovalev. Kovalev is very hittable. Ward hit him with a overhand right and he was shook. Imagine if Stevenson landed with one of those lefts.
I remember I saw one of his post-fight interviews and man, this guy had the personality of a tree, I don't know if he was going for a nonchalant look or what, but he just came off like a jackass to me. Since then, he's seems solid, but I haven't taken much of an interest in his career just because of his opponents.
There was a time I questioned if UKAD ever swept anything under the rug for the guy, but I can't say anything for certain.
that's pretty ironic coming from a Fury fan though. Fury tested positive for steroids
Here's the thing about Joseph Parker, of all the current HW champions he's looked the most vulnerable but he's also fought the best competition. Other than Tyson Fury of course but he's not a champion anymore.
Takam and Ruiz are better than anyone that Wilder or Joshua have faced. Both are far superior to Bermane Stiverne and definitely Charles Martin.
So you have to really ask yourself is he just not that good, or is it that he's facing better opponents and it's harder to look good against better opponents?
The jury is still out on him. Keep in mind, he's also 24 years old and is one of the youngest HW champions ever. So there is still room to grow.
Takam is way too overrated on here
