Fury has the better top end wins. He did a better job vs Wlad and beat Wilder (twice arguably) but his resume definitely drops off faster than Joshuas. Right after that you're at guys like Hammer and Chisora. He hasnt fought anyone in the current top 10 other than Wilder (who himself has only beaten one of the current top 10) and hes allowed to fight guys like Wallin and Schwarz at this stage in his career while AJ gets condemned for facing Ruiz as a last minute replacement or having a mando against Pulev.Comment

Fair enough with Parker, I think that was actually a decent win for JoshuaJoshua has 2.
Parker was #3
Ruiz Jr was #1
Waiting for your excuses now.
Edit. Here's something interesting. Klitschko was ranked number #2 AFTER Joshua beat him. So it's really 3. He was only off the prior list for inactivity.

As for Ruiz, he was no.1 for beating Joshua. So it’s a bit of a cyclical argument - Joshua is held highly because he beat no.1 Ruiz, who beat Joshua. Had Ruiz not smacked Joshua around the ring, he wouldn’t be no.1 and Joshua wouldn’t have a rank 1 win on his resume... kinda giving him credit for his failure there
Klitschko was unranked, as was Fury in 2018. So I’ll accept ParkerComment
