Comments Thread For: Hearn: Fury is Fantastic Fighter - But Joshua Will Do a Job on Him!

I'm sick of the talk now. Edward & Aj alway's have to drag out negotiations & make it difficult, ask any fighter or promoter that's dealt with them.

As for the fight. One of them has fought 2 world number 1s in they're own back yards for all the belts as the underdog but has had his demons & never defended. The other has never been the underdog, beat martin xD then a string of 38 to 41 yr olds with only Parker(bent ref) & top 15 Ruiz of his own generation in between.

Who's better prepared? I know my choice.

Furys never been the favored in title fights , he really shouldn’t in this one either . Furys never defended one title as champion. These are two problems ,one he doesn’t like being favored and he hasn’t proved he can mentally deal with pressure defending a title ., Joshua has done it at least 7 times so he’s used to the big spot lights more and more often .

As far as dragging out fights , no . No ones ever had a problem making a fight with team A.J , ask team Parker which was a unification bout and Wlad Klitschko another unified bout , Fury and Wilder both chose not to fight A.J which is a third point. Fury doesn’t 100% believe he will win . If he did he would’ve went for the fight that pays an abundance more which was A.J .

A.J will stop Fury within 12 rounds , i also believe John Fury is telling him not to take the fight the evidence is pretty clear with his current statements that they will walk away if the contract isn’t signed soon ,we’re all waiting on Fury side to sign so it’s not team A.J being difficult ,it’s obvious the body language and statements of Furys own words of notions of not being ready so you tell me who’s more readily prepared.

So many salty fans here. No, it's not the biggest fight of all time; Hearn is using hyperbole to build it up. He's a promoter; what do you expect?

We all know it's a big fight -- let's hope it happens and may the best man win.

I think Joshua will struggle to land or be in range enough to do a number on Fury. I very much doubt even a Cronk Fury is going to run to centre ring and try to force AJ on to the back foot like he did to Wilder.

This is going to be more Fury v Wald than Fury v Wilder. Joshua got a much bigger shot selection than Wilder and isn't as blatently easy to read. But then he's slower.

Its nice to see the same old "but he ran from Ruiz, he got beat up by a fat midget" comments like they actually mean anything what so ever.

So is Fury going to come in weighing 250 + pounds? When was the last time Fury fought with his riddler style i.e Moving and bamboozling his opponents ?

Tyson Fury will fight Anthony Joshua, exactly the same way he fought Deontay Wilder II.

Fury when he first made his comeback, tried to recreated his former condition 'And to a certain extent he did vs Wilder I'. But since that fight Fury has not really used that much movement in his fights etc

Fury is 270+ pounds now, because he wants to train a certain way 'That is Kronk Fury'.

Styles make fights and people keep referring back to Ruiz Jr as their measuring stick. Joshua has a good boxing IQ so does Fury but the only way to beat Joshua is in fighting and this can only be done by shorter fighters like Ruiz Jr proved in the first fight, Parker who was separated by the ref. Tyson doesn't in fight so this works in Joshua's favour. So in my humble opinion Joshua wins on points or late stoppage.

Fury does in fight he’s very crafty at angles and slipping in sneaky shots close up , in fact he was challenging Wilder in an uppercut battle chest to chest at one point and it was easily won . However A.J is more dangerous there ,if Fury attempts that with him to much it’s going to be a mistake .

I know this may seem superficial but I can't look past Ruiz. MoFos shouldn't get KOd by obese Mexicans. I just can't see, ain't no way Fury loses to Ruiz. OK. You can say Lennox was exceptional v Holyfield, v Tyson v Klitschko but Lennox got sparked by Rahman. OK, but Rahman is, to me, several levels above Ruiz & was always in shape. Also, Lennox was winning every minute of that fight until he got caught with the big swipe. AJ was totally beat up by Ruiz round after round

No way to know for sure how Fury would do against Ruiz unless they actually fight -- my guess would be that Fury would take a page out of the book of Joshua-Ruiz II and stick and move for the whole 12, for which Joshua still gets criticised even though it was a complete shutout.

Joshua knocked Ruiz on his backside. Then went in to finish the job and got clipped in a way that he never fully recovered from. Shlt happens.

The two sides are close to finalizing an agreement? Here we go again.
