Joshua just got brutalised and badly KO'd again , I have no real interest in watching this , Fury for my money deserved at least a draw in the Usyk rematch .If he comes back he needs to fight the best , Joshua is not anywhere near.

confident that their overdue contest will follow later in 2015.

Sneaky tactic! AJ going back in time to face teen Dubois. Even that's not a guaranteed win if he brings his 2024 chin back with him.

Fury performed noticeably worse than AJ and Chisora in the first fight, getting badly brutalized and dropped by Usyk. In the rematch he did no better than AJ did in the Usyk rematch, but the difference is that was an older more battle worn version of Usyk. Fury still couldn't come close to beating him. Fury has always been somewhat overrated, partly because of his ability as a self-promoter. If you actually compare their records, AJ always outperforms Fury when it comes to shared opponents.

AJ and Fury both fought: Wladimir Klitschko, Wallin, Ngannou, Kevin Johnson, Whyte..

AJ knocked out everyone. Beat all 5 by KO.

Fury only knocked out one (a past prime Whyte). He went the distance with the rest. Ngannou arguably beat him. Wallin gave him a close fight.

So real question is does Fury deserve the AJ fight or has he never really quite been on AJ's level?

Dubois already Ko'ed Aj on his feet as a teenager, confirmed by other sparring partners there.

Ajs level pmsl.....the make a reputation beating shot past it 38-41yr olds level.
Ok, we get it, your a muscles fan.
Pop quiz, name 1 prime elite heavyweight Ajs beaten? Or faced? Parker was still a prospect in 17, Usyk was a past his prime cruiserweight. Just watch Usyk at 31 in his prime against Huck, a completely different animal. Usyk has made them look like mugs whilst himself being on the decline.

Aj, Wilder & Fury had 1 job, to face each other. 2 of them had the biggest trilogy since Bowe Holyfield in the 90s, the other coward only wants it now to cash out against shot old men.
Here's the thing, i dont like any of them because of the rematchroom era they created. Thankfully Usyk cleaned up they're mess with Turkis help.
Always remember, Aj ducked undesputed in 18 on live tv before Wilder turned down the dazn money in 19. Unforgivable.

Comparing shared opponents on paper, in black and white. No emotions, no subjectivity. Just the raw indisputable objective facts. Only the Usyk rematch did AJ and Fury have comparable performance against the same opponent. But AJ clearly outperformed Fury against every other shared opponent by knocking them all out. Fury was unable to knock any of the same opponents out, apart from a past-prime Whyte. And Fury arguably got beat by a novice Ngannou along the way, who AJ had no issues with at all. So AJ's level is proven to be above Fury not by opinion, or the mythical eye test, but going by their actual fight records. Pysl all day but your p!ss won't wash away their fight records. Fury still has some sycophants actually ignoring fight records and performances, and instead they parrot his self-proclamations of "greatness". Sheeple will be sheeple.

I absolutely LOVE this fight, and here's why:

It will be meaningless for the purposes of determining the best HW on the planet, and once removed from that often charged debate, it can become a simple spectacle of two irritating Brits beating on each other.
And who doesn't want to see that? Because we will be pretty much guaranteed to see the irritating Brit blow-hard get pummeled and humbled. And if it's the OTHER Brit, then we get to see that irritating Brit get pummeled and humbled.
Win-Win for the fans.

Hearn fanboys need to accept the stark reality that their hero is washed. The boxing equivalent of a wresting jobber now. And a loss to Fury would rewrite his entire legacy
