    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.

      I think you should stop talking yourself. Remember you claimed AJ and Whyte were bums with glass chins? Neither have glass chins in any way. In fact, both have chins of steel and titanium with alien blood compared to the absolute glass that Kownacki clearly has. Did you see the nothing punches that got him out of there? Helenius is a 10 years shot fighter who basically brushed against him with punches that make Fury's lightest taps seem like a Lennox Lewis bomb.

      Kownacki is a proper bum. He's not even decent. 3 shot fighters gave him close wars and knocked him out. Whyte and AJ have plenty of substance. Kownacki has none. Nor will he ever have any.

      I enjoyed the bum getting exposed once again though. Hopefully you learn not to talk shlt in future otherwise you'll have the embarrassment of utter failure once again. I wouldn't have minded if there was actual potential with your guy, but there was absolutely none. It was your delusion and lack of insight that allowed such ******ity. And the fact he was Polish like you.

      Please support fighters who aren't complete garbage in future.

        Not bigger than Ali vs Frazier, Foreman vs Ali, Holmes vs Spinks, Tyson vs Lewis, Tyson vs holyfield, holyfield vs bowe, holyfield vs Lewis, Tyson vs Lewis. Fury vs Joshua is just a level up from Bruno vs Lewis. A domestic squabble that is big in Britain, but nowhere near the biggest ever.

          damnnnn, that was a harsh assessment of Kownacki. But then again, he did just get ko'd by a 25-1 underdog. Wait a minute!! So did Aj and you praise him as a steel chinned God. And the guy that ko'd Aj is probably a 50/50 fight with Kownacki.

          Ahh, either way, I actually train at the same gym as Kownacki. I don't really know him but my boy is 1 of his sparring partners. Since you consider him to be "garbage" in your exact words, I'm sure I could arrange a sparring session between you and him. Is that something that you might be interested in?? Serious inquiry.

              I've thought for a couple of year'sif Wilder vs Aj ever happened it would be in the new stadium being built in Vegas.
              Now ithink Fury Wilder has to happen there.
              I don't like thought the idea of Fury a Morecambe lad fighting outside in Vegas heat. I'm having flashbacks of Mcguigan outside in the heat.

                If kownacki does get the victory against Sid-nee in their spar will it change my opinion? Kownacki is dog S#hit and you know it. What exactly are you saying now is that boxing fans have to spar professional boxers otherwise they should refrain from calling them shot? He blocks punches with his face so it was just a matter of time.

                Wilder has no fundamentals and was exposed against Fury I suppose in your eyes I now have to spar him

                  What does Kownacki have to do with this ? I am just of the opinion that making Fury vs. Joshua (same as Wilder vs. Fury or Wilder vs. Joshua) the biggest HW fight ever is pure ******. There were much bigger fights before as there were much better HW boxers before.
