Joshua - Fury

When this happens, Anyone else think it's an easy night for a fit and motivated Fury?

easy work for Tyson...

[Sklar]

I think it's an easier night for Fury than versus Klitschko but the same risk exists i.e. incoming power. If he stays switched on throughout he should win wide on the cards.

Agree but will he be proper fit? AJ has a bit of dog in him and will go for Tyson. If Tyson is fit then this plays in to his hands but if he's not then it's goodnight! Almost makes me want Wilder to fukk off and keep fighting in absurity. AJ Wilder has to happen first while Tyson is finding his feet

[DrDuke]

An easy fight for the Klitschko-bout version of Fury. Joshua is not a creative boxer, so Tyson's awkwardness will ruin everything for AJ.

[sweetscience]

should be an easy ish night for Fury

prefer him to have a better coach though than he has at minute, even if its just part time if he is happy with this current guy

[gilgamesh]

Fury ain't having no more easy nights against Elite fighters. He was lucky he faced one that was willing to engage him in a staring contest, and not a fight.

Joshua will smash his fat ass inside 6, and that INCLUDES if it's the version Wlad fought. Being in the ring while a guy doesn't throw punches at you doesn't make you an ATG defender. Contrary to popular belief on this forum.

Joshua isn’t an easy night for anyone!

I’d favour Fury and would want him to win but Joshua is becoming underrated of late and Fury is going in the opposite direction.

Joshua won’t be happy to settle in for a points loss. He’ll put it on Fury as best he can and come forward looking to knock him out at some point.

Let’s hope they fight

Joshua will fight very cautiously against Fury. It's Fury's movement that Joshua will struggle with.. (If he has the same movement)

[moogie101]

A fit & motivated Fury takes this easily, of course the real question is whether Fury ever gets "fit & motivated" again.

[PredatorHayds]

I’d favour AJ. I don’t think Fury has the one punch power to keep AJ off him.

The Wlad fight was close. I don’t know where this notion of a masterclass came for.
I thought his best performances where against Chisora 2 and Hammer. He used his physical attributes well in those fights.
I actually had Wlad nicking the Fury fight.
Who’s to say the Fury performances weren’t helped by the ‘wild uncastrated boar’ he was eating at the time.

Movement alone don't win you fights. AJ ain't just gonna stand there like a f*cking idiot staring blankly for 12 rounds. At some point he's gonna try to hurt Fury.

[Nightmare Roy]

Could be like a cat playing with a ball of wool...if he doesn't get chinned, good fight very interesting let's see how he looks in his comeback fights

[oogiebe]

As of today...Fury stands no chance to beat AJ. After a couple of fights, we can take another look.

More gris for the mill.

Some decent points. He made Del Boy look well out of his depth that night. Complete mismatch

The Wlad fight was closer than a lot of people remember. It was atrocious to watch too, especially looking back!

The drug issue is a fair point. Plenty of fighters seem to lose a bit after being busted for using the gear. Tyson might have been benefitting from that?

[leejonesjnr]

Joshua will beat Fury if they ever fight. I don’t think they will.

[ewenhay]

Fury is a long way away from fighting for the belts. If he does manage to stay on the rails til then people are going to be shocked as to how immobile Joshua actually is. He made a 40year old Klitschko look like the second coming of Ali movement wise.

[HeavyHitters]

I would take Wilder over Joshua, but only by a slight margin. But you all are kidding yourself if Fury would win this fight with Joshua in easy fashion. For one, I do believe Tyson's chin is a bit on the soft side, and if Joshua lands a few of his upper cuts against it, Fury would be in big trouble.

I hate to think this, but if these two ever do get in the ring together, it could end up being an ugly hug-fest. Both being tentative and not willing to commit to throwing bombs, all the while worried about being countered by the other guy.

Late round TKO for Joshua, or a close decision sloppy win by Joshua.

[jamamb]

i think fury if hes on his game has some tools and the style to give aj some problems, to make him look ponderous at times, but i do think in the end aj would get through and win.

Totally reasonable. Closest thing Fury was in the ring with to Joshua was a 40 y/o Klitchko (39?), and frankly, the more time goes by, the better Joshua would be. If Joshua wasn't so big and tall, I'd feel different about it, but it takes away what Fury is used to being his advantage. And yes...it would be FUGLY...(f'n ugly)

Its all talk until the weigh in and the ring walk.

chisora 2, even though it was a gatekeeper hed already beaten and was a horrendous fight, was actually a very good performance from a competitive standpoint. basically took apart chisora and never got touched just pretty much using his jab, compare that to how whyte did vs chis. and pulev, even though he clearly beat chis, didnt do it nearly as easy

furys fiddling has something to it and it can be effective vs anyone i think. but i think aj and wilder get to him eventually. if hes back and in form id really want to see him vs them. even though i find him super boring it would be interesting to see how itd really unfold.

even though ajs a big guy hes still giving up like 2 inches in height and around 5 in reach to fury. i dont doubt that fury can jab and fiddle and use quicker feet on the outside and win rounds. also aj didnt throw his power shots nearly as freely vs parker as i expected, it seemed the movement threw him off a bit. that fight made me think a bit, its the type of style fury would use, and we saw how wlad had basically no output vs it.

im not sure aj would come in as agressively faced with that as i once thought. but i do think in the end aj sees it through for a win.
