Tyson Fury #1 Heavyweight Ring Magazine

The Ring is slumming it

Fury is no1 he beat wilder, we all saw it with our own eyes.
Wilder might ko fury in first round in rematch. But that will have to wait for February for wilder to take furys spot

It's no different than the other governing bodies being owned by promoters in everything but name. It's just more honest this way.

Everybody knows Arum and Warren pretty much have the WBO at their beck and call. The WBC is extremely cozy with PBC. The WBA will hand out a world title belt to anyone who asks politely, so nobody has to even try to corrupt them.

That's why the TBRB is what matters.

And either way, both the TBRB and Ring have Wilder and Fury 1/2 or 2/1, so that means the rematch will be for the vacant lineal and vacant Ring titles as well as Wilder's WBC.

Vacant lineal title? This is getting ******.

You folks need to understand that ratings change continuously...meaning they are CURRENT rating. This is for those bringing old fights into the discussion.

last 1 year
Wilder fought 3 top 10 (including top 5) fighters with 1 draw and 2 spectacular wins
Fury fought 3 fights with 1 draw and two wins.
Joshua fought 2 fights against someone who was not top 10 and got KO'ed before fighting him again to win. Prior to that, he won against Povetkin.

[Phenom]

Fury has beaten 1 fighter in the top 10 (yes he beat Wilder)
Wilder has beaten 1 too.
Joshua has beaten 4.

So it makes perfect sense to have Wilder and Fury above Joshua.

Joshua got knocked the **** out by unranked boxer by the ring magazine doe...

Also Breazeale, Ortiz were both in the ring top 10 this year

[Kris Silver]

This comes down to Ring being entitled to deem in reality, that Fury clearly beat Wilder.

Which, he did.

Wilder should have a loss.

And unlike Joshua whom has a lot of belts and has beaten bigger names and ranked fighters, he hasn't avenged it.

Fairly clear to me that its

Fury
Joshua
Wilder

But this is the game of it all I guess. Need them to fight each other.

Joshua has beaten 4.

You have to understand how much losing to HUGE underdogs hurts the perception, especially the way he lost. Him doing the rematch helped, but him "running" instead of KO'ing the guy that took his '0' and his belts by force and caused him to spit the mouthpiece out, didn't look impressive.

[Combat Talk Radio]

In order of best 8 wins (my opinion):

Joshua:
Klitschko, Parker, Povetkin, Whyte, Ruiz, Takam, Breazeale, Johnson

Fury:
Klitschko, Chisorax2, Hammer, Johnson, Schwarz, pianeta, Seferi

Wilder:
Ortiz x2, Brezeale, Washington, Stiverne x2, Arreola, szpilka


Whether you agree with my top8 and ordering or not - Anyone who looks anything at the resumes at all will very quickly rank Joshua, Wilder and Fury in that order. It’s not even close.

One of these recently got KNOCKED OUT by a significant underdog while showing his mouthpiece to the ref.

That moment alone, especially since it wasn't avenged by similar or better performance, nullifies any #1 consideration.

You didn’t notice that he just avenged the defeat with a near perfect boxing exhibition then? 😂

Here's what I (and you) saw. NOT how you avenge an embarrassing knockout loss.
