“I fancy the Fury fight,” said Matchroom Sport MD Hearn (below). “I think Fury could be an easier fight than Charles Martin.
“Styles make fights and I don’t know how Fury would handle Joshua’s speed and power. Fury was sensational against Wladimir Klitschko, but how much did Wladimir Klitschko have left?
Joshua is the guy who I give the biggest chance of defeating Fury. But it would be very hard. Fury is something special. That combination of size, speed and skills is very rare.
If the greatest HW of this era couldn't land a glove on Fury, a big stiff roided idiot like Joshua has no chance. Easy work for the Furious One.

Joshua was blocking shots and firing back within ten seconds of getting wobbled, all without relying on any clinching. Compare that level of composure to Fury after feather fisted Nicolai Firtha rocked him.
Whyte hurt him worse with the three body shots he landed in the next minute.
I think it's a 50/50 fight what about you?
We definitely didn't watch the same fight. If he was that badly hurt, he would have went down from the other flush punches that landed near the end of round 2. And it took him 2 rounds to get his legs eh? Thats pretty interesting considering that he rocked Whyte in the 4th.

Didn't do more than wobble him?
Did we watch the same fight? Joshua was out on his feet at the end of the round and was stiffer then usual for about 2 rounds.

loool what a load of bs lool :lol1:
fury would outbox and hurt AJ
i even give charles martin a chance against AJ
AJ got wobbled badly and was gassed against whyte,
how would he even cope with a bigger man fury on him for 12 rounds,
cant see it happening at all
Life and death? He won every round en route to a 7th round KO. He was caught with a check hook that didn't do more than slightly wobble him.
You guys need to stop overstating the drama of fights just to prove a point. Jesus.
I will say this: Hearn is just being a promoter and you can't fault him for that. Joshua isn't ready yet but I think he has much, much more potential than Fury does to be a true HW champion. I dont think Fury himself will get past Klitschko in the rematch.

If this is the kind of stuff you're into, g watch the WWF. No offense but you sound like a fucking child.
Real fans care about fights. Not who has better stare downs at the weigh-ins. Jesus, I always wonder if the IQ level on this forum will ever eventually rise a little bit...
Spare me the "real fans" bullcrap. Of course fights are the most important aspect, but what's wrong with a bit of out of the ring entertainment? Is it high brow? No, but boxing isn't a high brow sport, and Fury's great at injecting excitement into potential fights and drawing attention to the division with his antics. Boxing needs characters as much as it ever did. It helps keep the sport vibrant and gives us a reason to emotionally invest in the action. Otherwise we're just watching a bunch of semi-naked men punching each other for money.
Boxing was bland enough during the Klitschko era. Time to shake things up a bit.
I thought he clearly lost the 3rd as well if I remember correctly.
U might be right brotha. I think AJ took that one off but Whyte didn't do much either way
What does it matter how athletic he is outside of a boxing ring? Why the fcuk should anyone care about that?
Fury brings unpredictability to the sport, as well as genuine charisma and excitement. He'll storm rings, drunk as fcuk, to call out fighters to their face, start brawls in press conferences, utter all kinds of controversial shit that'll have people up in arms. You think that bland, media-trained puppet Joshua will ever do anything like that? No, he'll talk about hard work and never giving up on your dreams and winners don't take drugs (all the while being juiced up to his eyeballs). Fcuking bleh.

Well I definitely only saw him losing the 2nd (along with the sky sports scorer) but Whyte is surprisingly good, for sure. His conditioning is the only problem at this point. That power faded badly as the fight went on.

I would say Joshua lost at least 2 rounds in that fight. But Whyte can fight, no shame in that.

What are you basing this on? cain Velasquez lives in the gym and he looks like a 6 year old doughboy
No he doesn't and he hasn't done it similarly to Joshua for years and years always eating the right food - even away from camp. Plus he's not done the physical training same way Joshua has.
I think the opposite. I've never seen any real boxing skills from Joshua that could trouble Fury. I honestly think Fury could go 12 rounds without Joshua hardly laying a glove on him.
Fury is far too intelligent for that big stiff smiling idiot bodybuilder from Watford. He just went life and death with Dillian Whyte.
