You can always tell when somebody is clueless about the subject they are opining on when the hyperbole goes thru the roof.
As soon as you started mentioning Ali in the same breath as Fury all your hopes of credibility went out the window. I don't put Joshua in that bracket but in many ways he has overachieved despite his limitations. His fights against Wlad, Whyte and Ngannou on entertainment value alone will ensure his name is mentioned in retrospect when talking about great heavyweights. No ATG but certainly up there for the modern era, which has been quite poor (post nineties). No embarrassment in overreaching and trying to take on all the challengers. Ruiz Jr is a decent fighter unlike many of Fury's opponents, and not only did Joshua fight him, but he beat him in the rematch. That is what the greats all did. They all dared to lose. In attitude, he has that in common. Hell he had little or no chance of beating Usyk but still rematched him and made the adjustments needed to at least make it closer. Fair play to the fella.
Fury never ever really tried until now to test himself, and he will be made to look every inch the loser that his dismissive attitude has made him. Usyk will dismantle him in a clinic that will leave Fury looking like the Emperor with no clothes. You still will not accept it even if he then goes on to fight Joshua and gets knocked out in the first round. It is too much of a climb down.
