You're assuming the Wilder that fought Fury was the same one that fought Parker. Just as you're assuming the same Wlad that fought Fury fought Aj. The whole comparison of look how one fighter fought against this fighter compare to this one hardly works in boxing or mma. Especially in the top 5 of divisions, there's way too many variables and it's why skillsets are preferred over performances. If Aj and Fury were to fight next week, Fury will still be the favourite in terms of betting and by all the experts.
It's like saying the last time City lost in the league was against Villa so they should've really smoked us a couple of weeks ago...
That’s nothing like what I’m saying.
I’m saying he has two top wins in his entire career, one of which was the most boring heavyweight title fight the majority of us have ever endured, the other was only impressive due to his time out of the ring and the fact that Wilder, despite being a shit boxer, is a huge puncher.
I don’t think that’s close to enough to deem him “the best of his generation”, not least when other boxers of his generation have looked much more impressive against those two big wins.
For me to give Fury credit as the best, he’ll first need to beat Uysk, who I currently feel is most likely to be the best heavyweight of this generation, and Joshua, a man like Wilder with so much raw power but also an actual boxer to go with it. He does that, no questions asked for me, he’s hand down the best of his generation.
If Usyk beats Fury like he did AJ, and I think he may well, that’ll also make the best of his generation claims look daft.
The top three from this generation are clearly AJ, Fury and probably Usyk (so few HW fights though), Usyk has already convincingly beat one of the top three twice, neither AJ nor Fury have beat any of the other top 3.
