You just a Fury hater period.
    Of course it's overrated.

    Joshua has never beaten a legitimate champion, only belt holders like Charles Martin & Joseph Parker, both of whom are shit.

    Number of long reigning champions dethroned by Fury -2

    Number of long reigning champions dethroned by Joshua - 0

      3X heavyweight champions:
      Muhammad Ali
      Lennox Lewis
      Vitali Klitschko*
      Michael Moorer*
      Evander Holyfield (4X)

      *Moorer and Klitschko only count if you include the WBO title reigns they had before the belt was fully recognized

      I think Joshua is overrated but obviously anyone would want to add themselves to a list that only includes Ali, Klitschko, Holyfield, Moorer, and Lewis.

          I think losing the hwt title and winning it back is a huge accomplishment. It’s just hard to celebrate someone like AJ whose losses are both huge upsets.

            Evander Holyfield was a 4X Heavyweight champion and Muhammad was a 3X Heavyweight champion.

              To be fair, Lewis losing to Rahman and McCall were both huge upsets too.

              For me
              Usyk > Rahman > McCall > Ruiz

                Better overall? yes. Not better hwt’s.

                Lewis’ losses seem to be “lucky punch” type losses while AJ was outclassed in both losses.

                When you look at AJ/Ruiz 2 the 1st loss is even more unbelievable.

                  Completely different eras and quality of competition.

                    if u lose and come back and beat the same opponent after making adjustments thats impressive

                    if joshua does manage it again u could easily argue he was complacent, a fat guy & a small guy beat him up first time & he knuckled down and got it done

                    joshua should do better with a better plan next time, he knows exactly whats he up against

                      Terry norris domination of Simon Brown in the rematch was amazing but it never lived down when he got ko'd by him
