When he does that horrible impersonation of Muhammad Ali slinking his body back etc he is open to being hit, someone like AJ would sledgehammer his way through that guard.
Simple put Wladimir got his game plan all wrong and we've seen Fury being hit plenty of times before.
Whether or not Joshua could penetrate Fury's defences remains to be seen. He has the size and the reach to do so, but he'd still be at a physical disadvantage to the taller longer Fury. Unfortunately there aren't too many fighters who can give us a gauge on how well Joshua might do against someone of Fury's slipperiness. Szpilka and Scott are about the only ones who come close, and both are glass jawed and lack both size and (in Scott's case) heart.
Joshua hasn't proven himself enough for us to give an accurate prediction on how he will handle himself against better fighters. Dillian Whyte was a hard match for Joshua and I don't know how he would handle himself against the likes of Fury or Wlad.
In a couple of years, Wlad will retire and Fury and Joshua will be a lot older. Who knows what will happen then? Pherhaps Joshua would win, maybe not. We don't know what will happen then.
I'm not going to state my opinion on Joshua because it will start WW3 but I think that he hasn't really proven himself yet. He only has sixteen professional fights.
Right now I say he beats Fury and Wilder but David Haye is a different ball game both Fury and Wilder in my opinion are suited for AJ they're both stand up straight guys and they won't be able to make themselves much of a hard target to hit like Haye could.
Fury specialises in making himself a difficult target to hit. He gets sloppy sometimes and leaves himself open but when he's on his game he's slippery as an eel. Wlad, one of the most accurate fighters of the last ten years, could barely lay a glove on him.
We can only see how well joshua matches up with them when he is in the ring with them .....personally yes , he's quick and has great timing & power combination puncher and size wise he matches up with all of them....I think people are really underestimating just how intimidating joshus is when your in the other corner.....look at wilders defences each one has taken him into the later rounds and caused him massive trouble and I would bet any body on he would finish molina,duphaus and spiilka would be stopped within 6 rounds.....joshua beats fury and wilder as for haye that will be slightly tougher...wilder is to reckless who still throws wide looping punches and leaves himself always off balance...joshua throws straight and tecnically sound and will make wilder pay.....joshua beats fury inside 9 rounds.....quicker more powerful puncher and has better timing ..both of those boxers fight tall which will suit joshua better....haye crouches lower and attacks from angles and has also good timing...it all depends how well joshua copes with with Hayes crab style movement...dangerous fight for joshau but if joshua takes Hayes shots then there's only one winner....chisora was able to land on haye and be competitive and joshua is in a different league to him ..and if AJ lands on you its all over
I think he can beat them. He is s giant with fast hands and very hard correctly thrown punches. It depends on how his chin holds up against the big punchers. His chin could be his downfall. He has the size, skill, hand speed and power to knock them all out if they don't knock him out first. I guess that's a maybe.
well i don't know about wilder but fury isn't an easy target to hit as well. on tv he look slike he is easy to hit but his head movement is amazing, he really confused wladimir last time. i think AJ has more potential to beat haye right now than fury

I really think Fury is going to be difficult to beat for anybody right now, assuming he's motivated and in fighting shape. Even Wlad commented on how awkward Fury is and very difficult to catch.
Haye, i'm not sure, it's hard to judge what he has left considering he's fighting bums. If he is anything close to what he was with good speed and head movement etc.. then i'd say his style might be a big problem for Joshua. I'm not sure if he has that same speed and movement anymore.
Wilder would be an interesting one. His boxing ability isn't that great but he can land shots and carries big power. I'm not saying he's a bad boxer though, he's definitely shown a bit more than AJ has right now.
Then again, what do we really know about Joshua? Can he fight going backwards? can he fight inside? hows his defence against a good level opponent? there's a lot of unanswered questions. What i do know is that he's been hit clean once and went stiff for two rounds like Frank Bruno used to and he was on queer street, but he did show good heart and composure. What happens when he can't land his shots so easily and is forced to fight in ways he's not had to yet?
Wilder has greater pro experience and speed, while being of a very similar size and power. He can also go the distance so I greatly favour Wilder right now.
Haye has even more experience and speed and, apart from Klitschko, has never struggled with bigger guys, even that 7' giant Valuev. I tip Haye for sure.
Fury, if he makes Klitschko II a repeat of the first fight, will be far too skilled and fast for Joshua. He'll also have greater height and reach. I go Fury as long as he beats Klitschko again, or at least goes the distance.
