WHO WINS? Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua

[mickey1975]

Won't fight for less but money not his God. If he only cared about being seen as the true champion he'd take the short side and prove how right he was all along surely?

That old chestnut? Why shouldn't AJ take half to try and win a belt properly?

Quite simple really, because he doesn't have to. Fury needs him, not the other way around. Joshua would be a fool to concede terms to fury.

Fury really doesn't need anyone. He couldn't care less if he doesn't box again. Money is irrelevant to him. Half of the time I just like winding Jerk up.... Wrong, really, he sounds about 14.

Surely there’s no debate to be had about who’s more popular? It’s Joshua by a fvcking country mile

Yeah, don't be cruel Mickey, you wicked bastard.

I honestly have to watch what I say with you because I'm not sure you're not a bit slow. Tyson won't fight for less, money is not his God. He's always had money. Hearn and Sky will beg for the fight once the real champ knocks a few out. Trust me.

Do you think someone winning a vacant belt is a genuine world champion?

[Rob3_142]

What's the alternative? Let Tyson sit on them for 3 years?

Tyson is going to look stupid if he's spent half the year saying he could come back and destroy Joshua whenever he likes only to end up fighting BJ Flores.

Fury is infinitely wittier than AJ and he'd likely get right in his head with all the verbal wind ups at the presser.

These poll stats were hilarious even before Tyson became a fat cokehead.

[BillW]

This could be the ideal comeback fight for AJ.
Biggest non title fight ever.

Tyson would have beaten AJ then, he will beat AJ now...

A peak Fury is the best heavyweight in the world. Too classy for A.J. Fury wide points decision.

Whether we'll ever see a peak Fury again I have severe doubts in fact seeing any version of Fury in a ring again I wouldn't bet on.

Very predictable. Tyson ruined him, yet the shot version very nearly beat AJ. He’s still bitter at Tyson.

That's the difference: Fury is better at talking, Joshua is better at fighting.

Well I'd say that Joshua ruined Klitschko and Fury beat him comfortably. I wouldn't honestly blame him for being bitter though, Fury wasted 18 months of the last few years of Klitschko's career. Wlad could clearly see flaws in his own performance, and backed himself to win the rematch. Unfortunately we never knew what would have come from it.

Josh couldn’t emulate Sanders or Brewster against an old man.

True enough, if AJ was that good it should have been an easy nights work.

Wlad was a very different fighter tactically back when he lost to those two.

Of course he was. He went unbeaten for over 10 years!

Fury couldn’t emulate what Sanders or Brewster did but does that take anything away from Fury’s win?! Of course it doesn’t! It was good, narrow win in a fight where Fury’s style made it really difficult for Klitschko to get his shots off. His feints worked perfectly.

Yet to say Klitschko was shot against Joshua is complete rubbish!

Right. He became the 'shot version' one fight after his stinker with Fury, despite quite clearly turning in a great performance in his last fight.

[wesshaw1985]

clearly turning in a great performance in his last fight.

the opponent, in his last fight, made it look like a "great performance."

Disagree, Fury is the better boxer of the two
