People need to understand that, in all honesty? Fury, Wilder, Joshua, Usyk have all fought their most important fights.
We are now witnessing the conclusion to THEIR era. THEIR era, many of these other Heavyweights are competing in the era below the Top-4.
So yes, I may objectively criticize Fury for not having the depth in his resume that I think he could have 'But Fury has still fought in big fights, that were of historical magnitude' Not a very high number of fights, but Fury still has two mega wins on his resume.
The Top 4 Heavyweights are competing in their own competition 'And that competition is to identify who is going to be the last man standing'.
Lennox Lewis was the last man standing from the late 80's and 90's era 'Muhammad Ali was the last man standing of the 70's'.
What is happening in the game today, we have seen before in past era's 'That is why I personally don't complain or discredit the Heavyweight division, the events are all apart of the competitive cycle'.
Now? The Heavyweights below the Top-4. Ability wise so far they look to be not even anywhere near Fury, Joshua, Usyk or even Wilder's level.
A peak David Haye, peak Chisora, maybe even a Danny Williams on his best night. Would in my opinion, potentially beat 95% of the up and coming Heavyweights in the current Heavyweight division.
That 95% estimate was in reference to Danny Williams 'Because a Heavyweight and fighter like David Haye, in my opinion would of beaten 99.9% of the up and coming Heavyweights'.
Large majority of Heavyweights are out of condition. But they use the statistics that appear on the scale 'To claim they are super Heavyweights. In reality there are very few solid at the weight Super Heavyweights active in the game.
So in some ways the thread starter is correct 'But in other ways he is wrong'.
Because no matter how much people mock and devalue the Heavyweight division 'It is still a division, were boxing fans KNOW exactly what they are watching. When two Heavyweight fighters agree to compete against one another, people understand? That those two fighters are going to prepare primarly to beat their opponents 'That will be their primary intention'.
Within the Heavyweight division there are no weight limits, no catch weights and no re-hydration clause 'And the Heavyweight division does not suffer from the effects of the modern day toxic weight draining culture. That is present within all the lower weight divisions'.
I don't particular rate the Fury, Joshua, Wilder, and Usyk era very highly skill for skill. But in terms of competition 'It was real, and it has been engrossed with passion'.
Wladimir Kiltschko was the last great Heavyweight World Champion, in terms of behaving like a Champion and taking on all comers 'People in the game understand this now, and his statistics prove that statement of mine objectively'.
But Fury, Joshua, Wilder and Usyk. When their competition of who is going to be the last man standing is concluded 'People within boxing, the experts and the analytical fans will on some level understand appreciate what they have done'.
People will appreciate Fury's story, Joshua's story, Wilder's story and Usyk's story 'And all the other fighters that play apart in that era'.
Note: So whether the Heavyweight division enters into another Dark Age or not. People will just have to come into acceptance that for whatever reason, these men 'These fighters' Are at the apex of the sport, and they are the best at what the game has to offer etc.
