Fury has just fought arguably the #1 or #2 HW on the planet, and he's now going to fight the #1 or #2 HW on the planet, yet people say he ducks the tough fights lol.
Wallin beats Whyte btw.Comment

To be honest, Fury and Joshua should have a trilogy to find out who is better.
And than they both can ride to the sunset.

Fury ''beating'' Wlad is on par with Leon beating Ali.
And it's nice to know you NOW feel Wilder was a legit HW champ.
Most Fury fans have since changed their opinion of DW latelyComment

Fury beat top guy in division, twice. Wilder , Klitschko. Not even AJ has had balls to take on top guy in division. Let alone c grade hype job Whyte. Whyte is too scared to fight AJ
You fanboys also forget Fury is unbeaten.

I think the only people who cling to talk of records are those who buy into Matchrooms hyping of their, ultimately, mediocre fighters. And yes, I consider both Whyte and Joshua mediocre. The former because, well, look. The latter because he's never fought a truly live dog who was less than 40. The two times he did, he lost one and went 12 in a stinker with the other. I know British boxing fans (and sports fans here in general), most genuinely don't believe either of those two are that good. They desperately want to believe that but I think deep down they know even Wilder would likely spark both out.
It's the same reason why Hearn has so many bumlickers. Boxing is an international sport but there is kinda pathetic and desperate desire by many for the UK to "rule" the boxing landscape. Even whilst the top 2 fighters in the heavyweight division are Brits, it doesn't legit feel like they're the true top dogs of the division. And Im strongly leaning on the likelihood that they won't be. Great boxing legacies are built on great careers not pathetic nationalistic pride. Whyte doesn't even belong on the discussion. He looked ****ing lethargic in his fight with Povetkin. Notice how they always talk about him "being a character" or being "the most improved". Being the "most improved" was what we used to call remedial kids who just about sc****d their final year exams. Same with Joshua "learning on the job", these are terms used for fighters you don't genuinely believe are as great as you hype them up to be. The talk of resume is more of that bull****. In a decades time no one is going to be looking at his fights against Parker or Pulev as competitions that pushed the needle. If anything, I think people are going to resent the fact that he and Whyte had many legit marquee matches.Comment
