Chris Algieri: AJ has better resume than Fury

    par Yamanaka: Chris Algieri

    Chris Algieri is drawing a line between the biggest single win and the complete body of work. He says Tyson Fury takes the crown for that specific moment with Deontay Wilder, calling those victories huge at the time. But when you look at the full resume, Algieri thinks Anthony Joshua comes out on top. It comes down to how they handled the same guys. Klitschko was a thriller stoppage for AJ, while Fury's fight with Vladimir was boring and sloppy. Dillian Whyte lost his title to Joshua in his prime. Then there's Ngannou; people argue Fury lost to him, but AJ knocked him out in two rounds. Joseph Parker also falls into this category, where AJ took the belt from a former champ. When you stack them up foe for foe, Algieri argues AJ did it better against similar opponents. The comparison is close, maybe even 50-50, but he leans toward Joshua overall because he performed better when the opponents were the same.

    I said it like this. I said that the best win between either Friday was Tyson Fury with the wins over Wilder. I think those were huge wins, especially at that time with who Wilder was. But I think overall, the better resume is AJ, especially if you compare similar opponents. AJ always beat them better. You know, the Klitschko fight was a thriller and he stopped him. The fight with Tyson and Vladimir was a boring, boring, sloppy fight. Dillian White, AJ beat him in his prime, took his O. he's he nganu and people argue that that tyson lost to nganu and anthony knocked his head off in two rounds so when you compare them foe for foe and similar similar uh same same opponents aj always did better and i think he has a lot of really sneaky good win like the joseph parker win taking that guy's oh and in hindsight that's a really really good win former world champion and you know he he beat him took his oh he took a lot of ohs of guys when they're in their prime So when you look at it really, really closely, because you have to, because it really is 50-50, I lean AJ overall.
