Think they both get beat but fury is the tougher fight
You're entitled to that opinion. I disagree and you outlined exactly why after saying you had no idea how anyone could feel that way. I think Joshua stops both of them too, I've considered him the best heavy for many years. When wlad was still champ.

Deontay is probably harder to hit, yeah, I know, Tyson is dazzling, etc...

I’d like to say we’ll find out wh the tougher fight is but sadly we won’t, really don’t see the fury fights being made anyway.

Fury will never have a meaningful fight again.

All I can say is that I'm sad this won't happen, or at least won't happen with Fury at his best, because I would have made an absolute killing on Joshua walking through that big goon.
Pernell Fury
Yes I find it pretty hilarious that there are people out there who would apparently call Fury one of the all time great Heavyweight defenders apparently.
Getting knocked down hard by a Cruiserweight, and winning a staring contest is all it takes I guess

Klitschko lost that fight, rather than Fury winning it. Wlad didn’t throw a punch.
The Klitschko that AJ beat would be entirely different.

Wlad didn't throw vs Fury because he was made uncomfortable. That would never change unless we are talking about pre Sanders version of Wlad.
Fury is awkward, and so is Wilder to a degree. An awkward boxer is usually harder to beat than an awkward puncher. So, I gotta go with Calzaghe.

Fury’s harder to hit than wilder. More defensive fighter, doesn’t engage as much. Very awkward opponent

Agree with this. I’m not a fury fan but his win over Wlad doesn’t really get the credit he’s due. The fight was a stinker from an entertainment point of view, but safety first defensive boxers exist in the game, and this is what they serve up

Fury moves more fluidly, but he's very poor defensively. Not that Wilder is good in that department.

Fury can be mocked, he’s a facking idiot, but if he fights on the back foot at range he’s a tricky customer. Wlad has been the man for ten years and couldn’t get to him till round 12. You can say Wlad was awful that fight, but part of the reason for that was due to fury

They both looked awful. Fury did show a lot of improvement going from punching himself and a punchline to a champion. Almost getting stopped by chisora to dominating him in the rematch. Perhaps his wide open chin against wlad was some new wave ninja style I'm not familiar with.

2 negative fighters serve up a stinker should we be shocked? Wlad had it in his locker to be more aggressive but didn’t.
It sounds like I’m a fury fan and I’m really not, but decisioning Wlad in Germany takes a level of competence at the very least

I like fury, he makes me laugh and had some entertaining fights pre wlad. I just find it impossible that he could reduce Joshua or Wilder to throwing 10 punches a round with the same tactics.

For me, Fury in shape, is the best heavyweight out there.
