    It is amusing to read how tactical are the AJ nuthuggers on this topic so far.

      I cant say Fury is better than Josh until he beats Josh. Fury might beat Usyk. And Josh beats Fury and Wilder too.

        As someone who used to go to the early Fury fights back in the day i'll hold my hands up. Since becoming the man his cv has been absolute rubbish. Since winning the belt a decade ago he's fought Wilder and Whyte who were ranked. (whyte was sparked out by Povetkin the previous year too)That's pitiful stuff. Very sad to see a generatonal talent like Usyk being aged out of this era. Usyk has done everything asked of him but what is he meant to do? A pure dung era of HW boxing is this.

          But he fought valiantly - twice - against Usyk, and that's a point many tend to overlook following his famous rant.
          how did he fight VALIANTLY? he did nothing in the Usyk fights.

          He coulda beat Usyk easily. he has the skills and all the tools but just lacks the MENTAL side of things. The boy is mentally WEAK. No heart no guts no OOMPF

            I'm not saying he has no problems, for sure his mind was damaged by the Ruiz defeat. But I don't think Joshua lacks courage. He's become gun-shy, yes, but I believe that, in the right circumstance, he would show his bravery again as he did against Klitschko.

                  I don't remember so.

                  But I do remember a Boxing News cover with a huge "A-Farce" headline after one of his fights (possibly his debut, but I'm not sure).

                    First loss came from Danny Williams
                    Fought Guinn , Rogan , Haye few others who were better than the average fighter
