I think three is too quick, but AJ would gas and get picked to bits by Fury, like tonight, but a little harder though.

Fury definitely has the better engine but he can go 12 rounds as he did with Usyk. Fury would be the favourite for sure but you can’t write off Joshua. Matey talking about 3 rounds is clueless.

The harder fight for Fury is Usyk. I want to see Fury v Joshua, but I can’t see Joshua winning the rematch.

Defiantly is just purely about styles. Usyk is a horrible guy to look good against and no way a forgone conclusion for Fury.

IF AJ beats him though then it’s on.

He's not one of the greats.. yet. He has the potential to be but not with his paper thin record.


For context. Lenox Lewis, who I think is the best, had 17 defences. Fury has had 3

He might not have the defences but look who he beat to take the belts and their record at the time. Sure you could argue Wilder has a padded record but he was still smashing everyone. Klitschko was unbeaten in what, 10 years? One of the greats imo.

I agree on Lewis, for me he’s the best.

Klitschko was a brilliant win but Wilder was a awful champion who had a record of rubbish wins other than a prehistoric Ortiz

He was still smashing everyone into another dimension. Not that I thought Fury was going to have a problem outboxing him.
 
And Ortiz. His record if you actually look at it in detail is really terrible. I always knew Fury would beat him. I didn’t think it would need a trilogy to prove it though. If Fury beats both Usyk and AJ then he obviously goes down as the best of his generation. I wouldn’t go beyond that though.

I think we all agree his record is padded but he’s still unbelievably dangerous as we saw in the first Fury fight.

He’s already the best of his generation. If he retires now, who is better?

Without beating Usyk or Aj? So he beats Wilder then Whyte and that’s enough to call him the best? Not a chance. He can’t take the easy way out. He can easily fight both of them in his next 2, make a load of money and see how he comes out of it.

We can leave Wlad out of it that was years ago and AJ knocked him out in his 17th fight.
 
What a punch.

Retiring undefeated as the lineal champ I think gives him the crown of Best of the Era and with his unique attribures and boxing smarts I'd put him again the best of any other Era.
