Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury

[kbackup408]

Adrenaline is running high everywhere, boxers, fans, social media (even my grandad's rather excited).

Who wins this fight possibly could happen at the end of this year or 2018 ?

Will this realistically ever happen - I don't think so

[Oiky]

Fury

[rossij8]

Won't happen, if it does not for 3 years at least

Voted Fury though, if fit - awkward for AJ

[kbackup408]

3 is excessive pal I got a feeling this is exactly the fuel to get Fury to motivate himself to strip his weight down, April 2018 probably !

[banjo]

Fury is an intelligent fighter with slick moves and skills, AJ is a bang bang artist. Fury played with Wlad, AJ went life and death with him. At this moment in time I side with Fury.

[ashedward]

Fury isn't going to get a decision in this country on the back foot against Joshua.AJ will look busy enough to get a decision even if he's missing allot,personally I think AJ knocks him out if he's not near the standard he was in Hamburg,that was one great night but I can't see him getting to that level again,I could be complely wrong.

Probably one of the best comments I've seen today, on a Matchroom card Fury will not get the nod regardless of how well he boxes !

No looking at the doping charges they rule Fury out for most of 2018.

[Stuffs]

Joshua.

Fury will never be fit again.

Fury will never be as good as he was against Wlad. That was a once in a lifetime performance.

Fury can't (imo) hold off the bulldozer tactics of Joshua.

Fury COULD probably land some reasonable counters, but there's not enough in the jab to stop Joshua coming at him like a freight train ala some of the opening rounds last night.

Fury's key v Klitschko was confusion. You can't confuse Joshua. He's not clever enough to be confused. Fury had Klitschko over thinking his every move, and thus ponderous. AJ would just go for it.

AJ early and brutally for me.

If Fury returns in July as planned its got to be against a no hoper. Under the circumstances this would be a wise thing to do as he cant risk going in at a high level and getting beat. I would think a second outing possibly towards the end of this year begining of 2018 against a decent opponant which could leave him with a fight against AJ around next summer at Wembley. I think a 13 or 14 month plan from July 2017 would get him back to where he was. Im not sure if this is all wishful thinking as he has to apply for a licence and all this doping stuff is still all up in the air.

If my thinking is kind of on track Im thinking that AJ's next fight could be the WBC belt towards the end of this year, September time, possibly in the States. Then if succussful another defence around February March time which then would leave the way forward for a fight with Fury after that.

[Lenny]

I don't think Fury can beat Joshua fighting like he did against Wlad. Realistically fighting like this he isn't going to have the power to discourage Joshua and I don't think Fury would survive an onslaught. Once Wlad started putting it on Fury in the 12, that jerky style looked pretty ineffective.

Maybe they come up with a different game plan, I wouldn't be surprised.

For me there isn't as bad a style match up for Joshua as Wlad out there. Someone big who's great a timing straight rights, ties up inside, is light on his feet with a good jab and awesome power. Joshua will have learnt loads last night, like Fury did when he came back after losing to McDermott and being knocked over heavily by Cunningham

Why would Joshua fight in the US next with this support and cash?

Not sure why he'd fight in the States. He can sell 90k at Wembley and will do massive PPV business. On top of that, everyone who matters to the money men, (ie, casuals), will be absolutely buzzing about that fight last night; both men down, both men looking out of it, both launching comebacks, more knockdowns and a stoppage. In a nutshell that's why Joshua is making massive money here and Fury can't sell a ticket, hence Joshua having no reason at all to go to America other than as a box ticking exercise.

If there was a heavyweight Floyd out there he'd have to, but what does Wilder bring to the table in terms of profile? He's nothing in America compared to what Joshua is over here.

AJ is such a nice guy surely he would want to take his love to america to and get exposure as a world wide athlete?

He doesn't need it. He's now the biggest draw in the sport no matter what his detractors think. Theycall the shots and Fury Wilder Parker whoever will be desperate for a slice.

That doesn't make any sense. He could be the nicest guy in town or an absolute dick but he's not going to fight in the USA for fun is he? He makes far more, draws far more, and can bring the biggest names to Wembley. Anywhere else for the Wilder/Fury fights makes no sense.

You might be right, maybe Wilder would rather fight at wembley for the cash.

[Tanzio]

AJ ends the overhyped King of Blowhard Mountain, early.

[BitPlayer]

I'm surprised Fury has a substantial lead on the poll.

[BitPlayer]

Joshua will have learnt loads last night, like Fury did when he came back after losing to McDermott and being knocked over heavily by Cunningham

When they fought Fury showed as well as being bigger he moves even better on his feet, is even better at tying up, and he has much longer arms. The only real advantage Wlad has is power, all be it a big one.

Power, punch speed, shot selection.

In my opinion, Wlad was nowhere near his best versus Fury. Bad camp whatever. Maybe it was all Fury's skills that bamboozled him but unless Fury comes back and wins a second big fight we will never know

[Stuarty]

If Fury gets back in the kind of shape he was in for Wlad then I'd favour him for a points win. If last night showed us one thing it's that you can't write AJ off though. Massive fight. Hope it happens. Also hope Tyson takes a warm up first though.

What round did his second wind kick in mate haven't got a chance to see it again, I reckon Fury wins on points but knowing Eddie the envelope will be at hand
