    AJ has ONE title defense in his current reign like...I’d get your argument if he had a GGG like streak of defenses going but no. AJ’s best win isn’t as good as Fury’s and Fury’s second best win is better than anything AJ has..and there’s a loss on AJ. Now, AJ’s resume continues past those two wins and I see the argument of AJ being seen as having a better resume past that. But most people think Fury is #1 right now and he’s the betting favorite and rightfully so. Whether you want it to be considered 1a and 1b doesnt matter. Fury would still be in that A spot
    You are deviating from the point of argument. Show me any boxing site that record a title defence for fury, non, because hez had non.
    These are facts and am not interested in emotional defence.
    Call a spade a spade.

      Fury has worked his way up from the bottom, he wasn't given anything in his career, unlike many others including another well known British HW champion.

      Fury rubs a lot of people the wrong way, however they let their hatred for the man blind them when it comes to boxing.

      Fury is a special talent, and it's not just me saying it, Emmanuel Stewart & many other professionals said/say the same thing.

        He is a Heavyweight. His style and character is highly needed in this sport and no different how HW’s have talked for centuries. What’s the big deal. As long as you’re not twerking in the digital media age all is forgiven

          And who would be the mysterious heavyweight that beats him?

          Fury beat Wladimir when he was a clear underdog.

          He would also be a favorite over AJ; who is seen as next ATG, lol.

            Why do you put so much regard in defending an abc belt against some bums?

            If Fury fights and beats Joshua next, he's clearly the greatest HW of this era.

              His resume is paper thin.

              To boost it, Fury fanatics are NOW rating Wilder to be an ATG, when just prior to their 1st fight, he was nothing hut a bum

              How perceptions change when needed
              When fighters fight, it is not between resumes.

              Lomachenko had better resume than Lopez, but he clearly lost.

              How much will his "better resume" help to AJ; when Fury beats him?

                Any champ without title defence(s) is rubber stamped.

                  This is true

                  Strange how little a fighters resume is mentioned in NSB, though. Don'tcha think ?

                  I guess resumes are for boxing nerds.

                  If we are NOT going by resumes, how one can prove a person is overrated ?

                    You can't win a title, run away from the rematch, come back after few years, beat a couple of taxi drivers, beat another champ and run away from the rematch and the circles goes not.
                    I don't rate such champs, champs don't run away in the heat of pressure.

                      A fair point for AJ is that his resume does get overlooked by a lot of people, he has beaten a lot of contenders, but anyone in their right mind knows what Fury would do to Povetkin, Pulev and Parker (all opponents that Hughie fought).

                      Hughie arguably beat Parker and he stole rounds from Povetkin, imagine what Tyson would do? Fury fans already saw Fury vs Chisora II and Fury vs Hammer to see what he does to smaller men. It's not even close, it's masterclass 'hit and not get hit' for however many rounds it lasts.

                      I really do think Fury needs more of those 'contender' level guys though to shut people up and show them what we already know he does to them.
