    Ok
    Prime? I wouldn’t go that far.

    I dont think Fury is overrated though.

    The argument you’re making tc

    “He beat wilder who even when he gets outboxed manages to find a way to win.” Lmao okay

    Will he beat Joshua? I don’t know. I’d think he’s the favorite though. It’s a toss up imo. I’D bank on Fury’s chin over AJs though. Fury is the lineal hw champ. It’s hard to be overrated when youve beaten the “man” and havent lost since

      If resumes were switched A.J fight wouldn’t have lost either . In fact former AJ sparring partner Wallin would have got the win if it was not on Arums promotion going into that Wilder rematch .

        - -Impossible to be The Man when Fury has Zer0 title defenses and ducked the great champion Wlad rematch that AJ took.

        Oh, and AJ has the 4 belts that count in the fake lineage you novices beat to.

          I think it has more to do with the heavyweight division. Fury can beat anybody in the division right now. It is not necessarily because he is great but because the division is pretty average right now.

          Like the pundits have said, "All of the top heavyweights have vulnerabilities."

            We can’t go on “ifs” and pretend scenarios. Wallin was mostly semi competitive for a couple rounds. If the fight didnt get stopped off that cut and Fury gave him a literal beating down the stretch and won a clear decision...then it was clearly the right call to allow it to continue. Obviously...

            It’s cute you think the IBO belt counts over the WBC and Ring title. Bless your heart.

            Whether you like it or not, Fury didn’t lose those belts to AJ. There are many who think Fury is the TRUE champion because he’s yet to lose a title in the ring.

            I like both AJ and Fury but I’m not going to get my panties up in a bunch if someone thinks one is better than the other. AJ might have a better overall resume in some eyes in terms if contenders and what not, but he’s rocking a loss and his best win is outdone by Fury, who coincidentally has the second best win as well (Not named Klitschko) in Wilder. I wont argue if you think Ruiz’s win of AJ is the second best at HW but its kind of counter productive to go that route.

            If you don’t think Fury is favored, cool. But you’re wrong. Whether or not AJ beats Fury is a different story than the overall narrative that Fury is deservedly seen as the betting favorite (however wide or slight it may be)

              Who is claiming he is unbeatable?

              This is a very weak era and is a clear favourite over Joshua

              You are making out as if Fury is being hailed an ATG, when he’s not. Ironically Joshua has been on here - the next Klitschko apparently

                Klitschko was not in his prime. That's a lie.

                  Klitschko was not expected to lose that fight. That's prime.

                  Regardless, Crawford has no win that comes close.

                    Overrated? Absolutely.

                    He has just two wins of real significance:
                    1. A great champion who was 39. It turned out to be his penultimate fight.
                    2. The most protected and limited champion in memory.

                    They're still very good wins, but they've taken on almost mythical significance when it comes to Fury's new following.

                    He has a granite chin... all based on one punch. A left hand that was more push than crack. Again, it's a knockdown that has taken on mythical levels of significance compared to what actually happened. Pulev took 20 punches of more significance on Saturday. That counter right hand that started his problems in the third was a really beautiful shot.

                    The thing is, Fury's an excellent boxer. I was adamant that he would beat Wilder before the first fight when the vast majority in this forum didn't give him a chance.

                    He's also awkward as hell and very confident/****y.

                    But I've no idea how people have bought into this unbeatable mystique. You're comparing him with guys who stayed at the top and fought mandatories, voluntaries and unification. And you slate the guys who have done that stuff!

                    He's got an ATG reputation off a couple of decent wins and a bit of marketing. Surely boxing fans see through that?

                      Fury is a wannabe & gets far too much credit for his "boxing skills" & isn't as slick as he or many think.

                      The dude is just an oversized oaf who happens to know the basics to boxing, which has been JUST enough to get him by, so far!

                      Fury is a clown & regardless of what he accomplishes, he will ALWAYS be the big bigot that punched himself in the face!

                      Don't believe there has ever been any Heavyweight great that ever punched themselves in the face!
