    The judges typically get it right in big Championship fights. The robberies usually happen in crossroad fights when the promoters are trying to push some guy up the ladder and he doesn't deserve it. I.e Terrell Gausha vs Elijah Garcia.

    Even if Fury loses to AJ it's still difficult to say that he's not the second best of this era. AJ lost too many times for me to automatically give him that award. I can understand losing to Usyk (he did much better in the second fight and almost won) but losing to Andy Ruiz and Dubois knocks him down for me. I'm still waiting to see how far Wardley's power can carry him. I'd love to see him fight Fury after the AJ fight if that happens. My bet is if Wilder's double punch knockdown plus the mat hitting Fury in the back of the head isn't enough to KO him then I doubt Wardley has enough ammunition to do it.

    But I would love to see him try.

        He had a case for all seven, but there was one split round, Round 2, which I gave to Usyk, but 7-0 is fine too, so if you went that way, great card. Viva la Fury. Nash out - His Majesty

            Usyk good but he needs to best a wider range of big b oys. Beat fabio, ajit then your reaching a place where not much more you need do

              The rematch featured little skill from either fighter as was just a scrappy mess. Nash calls it - 114-114. Nash out - His Majesty

                - - Blubber is what walking, blubbering shyte in the ring looks like.

                He ducked record purses vs AJ back in the day where all the heavy contenders suddenly got light in their loafers.

                Luckily we have an all time great in Usyk who's coming up to 40 yrs of age, but he needs to retire lest he get dragged thru the shyte of boxing as is typical.
