So now that Fury has shown he is still legit and is on a similar level to the one he was at before he left for 2.5 years, who would you pick to win if say they fought in April?
AJ is a better textbook boxer than Wilder but that makes him more predictable for Fury. He'll have more success in spots than Wilder did but lose a close decision.
AJ won't be throwing bombs like Wilder did, but the idea he's stiff and robotic is a Fury creation that people are buying into.
He's a good, technical boxer with real power.
I think Fury wins, simply because I think he's the best fighter around. Too big, too quick and above all, too smart. I'd love to see him go down as one the best there's been.
FWIW I reckon it would be a dreadful fight.
AJ either wins most rounds with Fury doing what Parker did in disengaging and running but getting outscored with the jab, or Fury getting a little too close and getting knocked out. AJ can force himself on Fury a lot more due to him not having much punching power.
There's a reason the bookies have him as favourite over Wilder and Fury. And I agree. If people start betting big on Fury when they do get it on, i'll lump a load on AJ and clean up.
Fury.
AJ is tailor made for him. You can't fight Fury if you are as orthodox and stiff as AJ. I don't even think it'll be a hard fight for Fury. it'll be a routine win. It's just an easy style for Fury.
We saw that AJ could barely lay a glove on Parker because Parker give him a little bit of movement and didn't just stand in front of him like all the others he fought, so imagine what Fury would do? - Did AJ even throw a right hand once he was up against someone that moved a bit? It's not even like AJ can then rely on the jab versus Fury either.
Fury would win comfortably in an underwhelming fight
I'm in agreement with this. AJ had the power to hurt Fury but I doubt hell be able to land clean. If Fury avoided Wilders bombs and weathered that storm I'm sure he can handle AJ.
When watching AJ vs Parker he looked terrible. It looked like he was afraid to engage a smaller Parker who wanted to fight inside. When he stepped back to avoid Parkers punches he stepped way outside of his range and couldnt properly return fire. When he fought Povetkin ate a whole bunch of right overhands and imo lost a couple of the first rounds.
I think Fury is a nightmare for AJ just like he was a nightmare for Wlad.
