Ranking the top heavyweights right now (Sept 2022)

[palmerq]

You're not meant to accept the challenge Joshua. What an idiot,now you've got endure pointless slanted negotiations for a while now.

[NoSavingByTheBell]

A good big man Fury beats a good little man Usyk. He ties him up and exhausts him. Joshua did FUCK ALL to exhaust Usyk. Fury will drain him out in 8 rounds and smoke him.

[TIC]

tyson saying the purse split offered is sixty forty. frank warren saying he'll send an offer for the fight in november. wasn't tyson supposed to be fighting in december?

[NoSavingByTheBell]

The Nutjob Fury will ICE Joshua. Literally ice.

[Beanz]

What a bottle job Fury is turning out to be.

Usyk
Joshua
Fury


Toss a coin for the rest. Seriously Fury's record of opponents is not great. Wilder's is even worse and while Joshua's opponents are for the most part hardly stellar it is better than Fury's or Wilder's. Fury/Wilder have made themselves seem far more competitive than they really are by avoiding others.

Fury lost to Mcdermott, struggled against Wallin ffs and got knocked on his arse by Cunningham. Usyk is a nightmare for him and he knows it.

Oh my...

To start off with, dissing lists of opponents on fighters we don't like is everyday fare for us. I do it all the time.

That being said, I'm not gonna argue the point that Joshua's list is better than either Fury's or Wilder's.

But... to say that Wilder's is even worse than Fury's?

Last Five Opponents of Each (other than each other):

Wilder: Ortiz, Breazeale, Ortiz, Stiverne, Washington

Fury: Whyte, Wallin, Schwarz, Pianeta, Seferi


I'm gonna have to differ on that one.

Fury is the Poster Boy for shitty opponents.

[Master]

Beanz is just frustrated by Fury antics. First he is retired then want £500 million now that Usyk has turned down the fight he wants a quick fight against AJ.

Eddie will find a reason to not take up the offer as his cash cow would get destroyed by Fury and put the career to an end of poor AJ.

Whyte, Klitschko, Chisora etc Edge Fury ahead of Wilders opponents but I agree that Furys list of opponents are not great. You can only fight who is out there and it is not a great heavyweight batch but there are quite obvious missing opponents on boths list that Joshua has not ducked. Wilder has admitted he ducked Joshua and Fury is no better.

[Mark TKO]

Agreed re Furys resume but he's done everything he said and come back from one of the biggest mental and physical breakdowns I've ever known in sport.

He also took on wilder within a few months of being out the ring nearly 3 years when he was nowhere near peak fitness. You could argue the first fight was his best performance of the trilogy given the rust.
