Realistically who out there at moment would that be though ?

Usyk maybe in 2-3 years time?

I don't recall too many people calling Ali's win over Foreman a fluke. They said the rope a dope was genius. Because it was Ali. Fury has his detractors as now does AJ, it makes an interesting fight but I see Fury winning, just not sure he is the best Heavy in the division.

Different sort of fight though. Styles make them; I had Floyd winning a shutout against Canelo and scraping barely past Maidana in a fight that really could have been a draw. I still think prime Canelo absolutely destroys prime Maidana.

Wlad was either going to have to end up throwing shots at Joshua or just caving in. Fury was never going to try and get rid of Wlad so it ends up a totally different fight. But the big questions regarding Joshua, (chin, ability to recover when hurt, engine) now have far more positives about them. The issue for Joshua last night was Wlad's power and he took it; Fury may be many things but he's absolutely nowhere near as powerful as Wlad.

Wlad was clearly fighting a very different fight. He threw 137 power punches in ten and a bit rounds compared to the 69 he threw against Fury.

Good point. Also against switch-hitting/southpaws. I predicted Crawford would take Postols jab away from him that way

Yeah but Ali was able to back up that win with a dozen world title defences. I'm sure there was some people at the time that perhaps suggested there was an element of fluke about Ali's achievements at the time, but because it was backed up, nobody questions it. Also, Fury was so much long odds against Wlad, it was unexpected. Going into that George Foreman fight, Ali was already world champion, and had 40+ fights under his belt.
