That's subjective. Personally, I think the Wlad AJ faced was far better. For the first time in forever he had trimmed down, actually seemed to have a strategy for his opponent, and had the hunger. He didn't respect Fury, and thought he was fighting just anther no mark challenger.
Tough bums? Are you seriously putting that forward?
It's not 'my rules.' You seemingly want to discuss technicalities instead of the quality of the opponent. The reason why you plainly refuse to list names is because you can't find any worth mentioning. After Wilder and WK we've genuinely looking at Schwarz and Chisora. Cunningham maybe? Hammer? I suppose the latter did put away channel 5s own Sprott...
Conversely, AJ has fought Uysk, Pulev, Wlad, Ruiz, Povetkin, Parker, Takem, Molina, Whyte etc. It's not even a discussion. Would they stack up to years gone by? No, but AJ still fought them. Fury didn't.
