There's no doubt that AJ's stock is rising while Fury's is plummeting, even though Fury remains technically undefeated.

Common opponents isn't always a good barometer in boxing, but sometimes it'll have to do.

Wlad - Joshua put on a show for the ages against Wlad, while Fury stunk up the ring with the most pitiful, boring heavyweight title fight ever conducted... bar none.

Wallin - Fury went tooth and nail with Wallin... while Joshua had him out of there in the 5th round.

Ngannou - Fury got knocked down and came away with a split decision against an MMA guy making his pro debut... given credence to the notion that MMA'ers can cross over no problem. Joshua dispelled that notion with two right hands in the 2nd round.


Fury's stock was at its highest when he took on the big, bad Wilder after negotiations with Joshua went nowhere... and survived a horrific knockdown in the last round in coming out with a draw. He put an exclamation mark on that by beating Wilder in two subsequent fights. But as @TIC mentioned... his wins over Wilder mean less now than they did back then. Wilder himself has plummeted like a lead balloon.

Pretty sure Fury must feel some pressure to put away Usyk decisively.
