It’s all relative when you think about it. Everything is more main stream now, social media is almost a catalyst for every single thing. Managers and promoters have more knowledge and analytics today and the past decade. Place an Ali vs Frazier fight or a Holyfield vs Tyson fight in this era or any of those big HW fights from those 2 eras, and they all would be competing for the biggest HW title fight ever. It’s just like Floyd Mayweather benefited from his era and the kind of money that could be generated.
So I don’t believe Joshua vs Fury is on the same level as some of the all time top HW fights based on their collective resumes and careers. Fury beat Wilder and Wladimir basically. It has yet to be determined how the rest of Wilder’s career will shape out. Joshua beat Wladimir, albeit a 41 year old version, and has a bunch of wins against decent to good fighters who are still determining their careers. So both Fury and Joshua are benefiting from an era where more money can be generated across the board based on a bunch of variables and not necessarily on their careers.
