    Deontay, Fury, Joshua, who is the best?

    Ultimately one of those 3 beasts is the alpha male that's making history, and we are all here watching them like impotent cucks. We are the beta male fans!

    But which of these top 3 is the real alpha?

    Tyson Fury has beaten Deontay in reality but it was a fake draw, he also beat Wlad in a more dominant way than Joshua did so to me that puts him marginally ahead of everyone.

    Deontay is 0.15 milliseconds from being better than Tyson Fury and can take out any of them in a devastating way

    Joshua has heavy hands too, more well rounded skill than Deontay and but his lack of head movement compared to Tyson Fury is concerning, after seeing what Deontay did to Fury whos probably harder to hit he seems at risk vs Deontay. But he also seems a big threat to both of them too. For me he is too hard to predict, you cant tell how it wil likely go down with the other two they are easy to predict because they are very unusual and specific in what they do but Joshua has his skills and assets very roundly distributed so you cant tell how he will do vs their very specific skill sets and assets. Its like there's no obvious answer. Hes not wlad he has a better chin, so he might do better vs Fury than wlad did. But Fury might outbox him in a similar way with better footwork speed defence work rate etc, then with Deontay he could get KOed via lack of head movement or he could mop up Deontay when he gets sloppy or just out class him with the skill advantage.


    I think Tyson Fury is the safest bet since he just beat Deontay and he beat Wlad much easier than Joshua did. That's who I predict.

    Who do you think is the best of these 3?

    Purely objectively speaking on my part, Id probably have to go with AJ.

    Tyson's Klitschko win was more impressive than AJs (age, inactivity etc.), but Tyson today is unproven, unless you count his fight with Wilder but Wilder doesn't have a win like Klitschko whereas AJ does.

    Ortiz is all hypothetical, what we know is that Klitschko was only beaten by Fury in recent times and then AJ, who fought a more diminished Klitschko than Fury did but that Klitschko is still above Ortiz who is untested if we are to be honest.

    Safe bet, if I had to bet my life, AJ>Fury>Wilder.

    We know Tyson can beat Wilder (arguably already did), and Wilder can beat Fury (those knockdowns). Fury CAN outbox AJ, and Wilder CAN knock him out. I think AJ is too well rounded and experienced now

      I used to have Wilder first, then AJ, and Fury last, but Wilder got exposed big time.

      I have Fury first now, Joshua second, and Wilder last.

        would you say he got exposed had he won via knockout? (which he very nearly did) We all know hes not winning due to a well rounded textbook skillset, I don't see how anything has been exposed?

          Would you still be picking AJ had Deontay won via KO? Wilders ability to land that huge right and Joshuas relatively inferior head movement and perhaps foot work compared to Tysons? Seems like hes open to getting taken out? Which is exactly what Fury said at the end of his fight.

            Probably AJ but I think they would all trade wins with each other. One isn't clearly a step above the others.

            Gotta say, the more I see if each one, the more disappointed I am. Was hyped for this era but the action is not living up to the drama.

              This Era is incredibly entertaining considering how weak the division is compared to say the 90's or 80's, these top 3 guys are the reason for this, they would do well in other eras.

              What makes you think AJ has the edge? What specifically will he do vs Deontay and Fury to beat them in your mind?

                Fury is the most skilled of them all and has a personality. I'd go with him.

                    Yes. We already knew he had power, but it is now obvious that that windmill technique isn't going cut it against the very top of the division.
