One year ago exactly Fury lost a competitive but clear decision to Usyk. This generation’s best. When was Joshua’s last good account of himself vs a top tier opponent? No Fury fan here. Just the facts. It’s as if the Dubois demolition didn’t happen with some of these fanboys. Joshua didn’t just lose by KTFO - that can happen to just about any good fighter. He lost every minute of that fight before the KTFO

It was another shiat show. Paul ran till he could run no more, gassed out from.. running and stressing about getting hit. His own crowd, who ironically came to see him get knocked out, booed him. Paul has no talent. He would not make the top 1000 of any division. He is the m-o-r-o-n he has always been.

It was a bad fight and the way in which Joshua lost to Dubois means he is in the twilight of his career, but it is a very, very poor assessment to suggest Paul was in any way competitive and that Paul lost because of the size difference not a skill difference. Paul ran and had little interest in exchanging punches. And after four rounds of running, he didn't have the energy to even keep his gloves up. If this was a lower level fight with no-name participants, Paul's actions of thowing himself to the ground and grabbing his opponents legs would have resulted in a very quick warning and then points deductions and then probably a DQ. Once he actually stood in front of Joshua, he got busted up. No surprises. My prediction was that Joshua wins and Paul's only chance to go the distance was to run and stink the joint up for 8 rounds -- he didn't even have the fitness to do that. So, shlt fight, Joshua is torwards the very end of his career, but this fight isn't the nail in his coffin. Looking so bad against Dubois was far more worrying than anything on display here.

Not finding a way to get Fury out of that third Wilder fight has to be one of the biggest blunders in boxing history.

I'm not convinced Fury actually comes out of retirement for this anyway.

the World Boxing Association (WBA) has ranked Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) at No. 14 following his win Saturday over former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Poor assessment by a boxing writer.

I don't know how you managed to get so much information out of a freak show event.

Against Usyk himself as well, wasn't a blow out in either fight he was just a step behind in most rds.
