Even Matchroom’s Frank Smith believes that AJ wasn’t prepared for that fight. The Joshua fanboys on here believe that flying to Milan for a Fashion show and not training is ideal preparation.

Eddie as well said Joshua would've been better to fight someone else but that AJ wanted it so they tried to make it

"[Usyk] can’t run forever. Tyson’s going to get him in the corner, he’s going to get him with some punches, and he’s going to hurt him eventually," Tyson told iD Boxing.

I think that is an excellent summing up by Mike Tyson*.

It's really frustrating, as I do think Tyson Fury is a serious talent and, away from his alter ego, he comes over as a decent guy. I just don't get the shenanigans and lack of desire to test himself.

*Incidentally, Mike Tyson, is usually bang on the money with his fight predictions. Always worth getting his view on a fight; he reads the game so well and gives honest opinions.


"He’s going to run all night. He has to stay and fight to win the fight. At some particular time, he’s going to have to stand and fight.

"He can’t run and box all night – they’re not gonna give him the decision, now with Tyson. They want to see some fighting. After watching him and Deontay Wilder in a fight, they ain’t going to go for no running and hitting."

"Tyson Fury is going to win, and I think Tyson should fight more. They take too much time in between fights," Tyson said.

"I fought 15 times in one year. I’m a strong believer of four or five times a year; they should fight."

In another interview, he describes Fury as the boy who cried wolf.

And looking at the comments on all the YouTube videos, it would seem that 95% of the people commenting have come to understand that Fury is a bit of a ducker.

You'd have to say that Joshua has shown more courage in his career than Fury. He might have 3 defeats to Fury's 1 defeat (at the hands of John Mcdermott), but he is definitely the braver of the two.

For example, Miller is out, in comes Ruiz

Fury bolts it and fights Wilder for a third time, in comes Uysk. And he went in with Ruiz and Uysk straight away afterwards. Joshua can be proud of the mettle he has shown.

Lennox, you seem to be taking the Eddie Hearn approach of continually repeating something until it becomes true….
Let’s just wait and see.

What like you continually claiming to be a Traveller and close personal friend of every Yorkshire based boxer ?

1181567 wrote: ↑05 Mar 2023, 13:42 A couple of days ago you were defending Billy Nelson, now Mickey, both are more than capable of speaking up for themselves (and in the unlikely event they did need support it's unlikely they would see it from you)

Go away mollusc

Don't be obtuse I was addressing Keith.

1181567 wrote: ↑05 Mar 2023, 13:53 So it seems I clearly misread the previous post (I'm also simultaneously posting on another forum) and debating over on Off Topic.

But exactly who appointed you as public defender?

One can surmise that he wants no part of Uysk. I listened to Simon Jordan and Spencer Oliver earlier. They were debating who would win out of Lennox Lewis and Tyson Fury.

Really its an academic exercise because not only are they from different eras, can anyone imagine Fury agreeing terms with Lennox, if he can't agree terms with Uysk or Joshua?
