    Better resume, Fury or Joshua?

    Fury:

    Klitschko
    3x Wilder
    Whyte
    2x Chisora
    Wallin
    Cunningham
    Hammer
    Schwarz

    Bodybuilder:

    Klitschko
    Usyk
    2x Ruiz
    Povetkin
    Pulev
    Whyte
    Parker
    Takam
    Molina

    Bodybuilder got spanked by Ruiz and Usyk and has two defeats. Fury is undefeated and got robbed in the first Wilder fight.

    Fury dethroned the #1 heavyweight not once, but twice. And he dominated both of those fights.

    It's not even close.

        Before you start whining, just to be clear, in my view Fury is top dog now, beating Whyte was the big one for me....at least until fury vs aj/usyk happens.

        However, make no mistake about it, Wilder absolutely ducked AJ. Just because Fury was having fun with the american audience and trashing aj doesnt mean he personally believed any of it. John Fury himself plays the same role. Yet when Wilder accused Fury of cheating, John Fury got emotional and started speaking 'his truth'. His truth was exactly what i had said numerous times to people on here.
        -Wilder cherry picked a 50% version of Fury so he could blag his resume.
        -Wilder wanted no part of fury after that until he saw the cut from the wallin fight, then he came back thinking he has Fury's number.

        So...fury dethroned Wilder only because wilder underestimated Fury and perhaps overestimated Joshua or saw a cashgrab (50%) and let it slip. Eitherway, you cant hold it against AJ if Wilder wasn't willing and nor can you ever claim wilder was 'number 1' because he wasn't.



        Fury beat a distracted, bored, tired version of Wlad who had problems at home with his baby mother. He later took sole custody of that girl which ought to give you some insight on how bad it was. Hayden pantwateierre later got battered by some junkie. She's a druggie headcase who was wrecking wlad's life.

        He beat a cherry picking fake resume protected wbc (which means a fake) champion who only needed to beat some hippo called stiverne.


        if aj loses to usyk (likely) then wilder vs aj needs to happen just to determine who the 3rd best is/was...but i suspect with the likes of joyce, hrgovic and jalolov around..even that position is under threat now.

          Fury.

          Same opponents:

          Fury vs Wlad - Wlad 11 years unbeaten fighting in his back garden, unified Champion, in his 30s.
          Joshua vs Wlad - Wlad without a win for around 18 months. Wlad coming off a lost. Joshua's back garden, Wlad no belts, Wlad in his 40s.

          Fury vs Whyte - Whyte now at world level with top wins behind him. Whyte added being a world class southpaw to his list of skills.
          Joshua vs Whyte - Whyte raw, beat nobody, domestic level, no southpaw ability.

          Other opponents:

          Exclude Wilder and it's about even between the rest of the fights (not including what's listed above, as of course that makes Fury's much better)

          Now factor in Fury's 3 fight with Wilder, the second best HW of all time. It's no contest. Viva la Fury. Nash out.

            Fury has the better resume but he didn’t get robbed in the first Wilder fight. A draw was the best decision. Can’t call it a robbery when you land an average of 8 punches a round and was dropped twice.

              at this point not really a debate-

                Regardless who's got the better resume we still want to see who wins h2h! Ali had better resume than foreman but we still wanted to see fight. Fury had better wins than wilder but we still wanted it.
