Can Fury outbox Joshua for 12 rounds?

If ( and that is a very unlikely if in my opinion) he gets into real good shape, he has a solid chance to do that. His style is really bewildering. It couls also be that he will never fight again, with Fury you´ll never know what to expect...

i was confident fury would beat him but after watching saturday night i think its going to be hard for him not to get clipped at some point, styles make fights and joshua coming forward throwing combinations is going to be much harder to deal with than klitschkos safety first approach. i'd sure as hell love to see that fight though. That give Fury a lot more openings doe ,his not a puncher but its HW and good timing will get AJ droped.

Stupid question, can Joshua even last 12 rounds? He was a walking zombie for about 3 of the 11..

With absolute ease. Joshua just got out boxed by a man who Fury basically shut out. Fury is far more awkward than Wlad, Joshua would be completely befuddled by Fury's switching and general footwork. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Lol is this even a question? For those that think Fury doesn't have the power, just rewind the tapes and watch the last few rounds of that Klitschko fight when Klitschko threw a few and tried to turn it into a dog fight, then Fury fired back and Klitschko held on after tasting his power. On top of that Klitschko's best shots had no affect on Fury while that one punch that Klitschko landed sent AJ to the floor and had him badly hurt.

An athlete dabbling with coke or drinking heavily will have numbered days in their respective sport. Add Fury's horrible diet and long lay off and if his career lasts more than this year i'd be surprised.

Some where over the course of 12 rds, Joshua lands a uppercut/left hook/right hand that Furys chin can't take and puts Furys lights out.

Fury gets KTFO

I could see it going that way. Like i said if he punches with Fury that'll open him up. If he gets him worried about the left or the body that'll give AJ the chance to throw the phantom. From the outside it looks like Fury just walked into a punch, but Steve threw what's known as the phantom overhead or looping overhand. The punch goes out of their peripheral. He can't see it coming, but he has to be in position for it to work. You know what Fury for all we know could come back like post USADA era UFC fighters. He will get KOed.

:lol1: you can see the Mike in AJ but not the Foreman in Wilder? Did you realize AJ's like a rough Mike while Wlad's like a much better version of Primo? Mike is a much better combination puncher than Foreman.

Nope. Wlad is risk averse and had no answer for being the shorter man and out of range. He's not willing to step in to throw his shots. Fury merely stayed out of range, flicked out mostly pitty pat punches and took a wide and extremely boring decision. Joshua has no such problem. He will step in to land, he will come through those flicking jabs and he will close that distance. Joshua will blitz him, and it will be over early.

Absolutely. Joshua buys into look baits easily. Just as easily as Wlad. It's one of the elements that made AJ-Wlad so close. Fury practices a form of big man game formula that favors elusiveness over everything else. So what he's going to do is posture and position himself so that he appears more vulnerable than he actually is than when AJ goes to close the gap Fury will just have to lean to get out of the way. If AJ really rushes in or Tyson just fights really safe Fury will step to the side and twist him. Tyson gives up purity of the powerline for elusiveness so AJ's best bet is to punch with Tyson. That way Tyson's the one closing the gap AJ's just occupying the power real estate. hurt him with a left and when he's good and worried about the left wing the looping right hand. Like how Mike and Marciano used to or even Tommy. Tyson Fury does throw a lot of baits. BUT HE DOES NOT HAVE THE PUNISHMENT. he doesn't have the punching power nor speed. Wlad as a safety first fighter does not run red lights. Joshua has bursts where he will run through redlights. You better hope your 1 punch puts him out or you're going out when he goes apechit. this is why Deontay Wilder is actually his stylistic nightmare. Fury is easy work. he got floored by pillowfisted Steve Cunningham.

I believe he can. Wladimir was 41 and had to conserve his energy because of past experience when he's gassed out (Brewster), he let AJ recover for 2 rounds thinking he'll finish strong, but it was a mistake and he should have taken him out when he had the chance. With Fury...he'll go for the KO after the KD and let his hands go more without losing stamina. Fury is actually quite athletic despite his weight issues. I think Wilder also beats AJ. AJ ios just too cumbersome, look at the Wlad fight....when he threw more than 3 punches he had to stop to catch his breath. Terrible conditioning. And his power is overrated...it's not a Foreman/Mike Tyson blow...Wlad was able to get up 3 times and was stopped and didn't look badly hurt. Wilder, Fury spark him out or run circles round him till he collapses on his feet.

the fury from the klitschko fight would make it very ugly (like that awful fight) that's his only chance imo

He might outbox Joshua for stretches but Joshua will go apechit in his bursts and no man alive can survive that. He's coming in with punches from all angles with precision somehow. like a prime Mike Tyson. unlike Deontay WIlder. dude's got stamina. got Wlad outta there in rd 11.

I question if he shows up fight night now I like Fury but he is a wildcard mentally NOW! Then the weird stuff his cousin pulled with Parker Not So Sure about the Fury's all together now!
