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

[Angeljuice]

The way Hearn talks you think he’d actually had a fight in his life.

He has you fool. He had a few amateur fights as a teenager.

A very good fight but biggest fight of all time, that's a joke.

It will be up there in terms of revenue created.

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.

Well thought out comments. This fight comes down to a couple of critical points imo. AJ is not a fighter who adapts. He prepares and seems to fight on instinct. When he retooled for Ruiz, he changed from the get go, prepared differ ently and stuck to the script. Holyfield is a great example of a fighter with similar mental make up. When Holyfield fought Bowe at first he fought the way he likes and brawled. For the next fight he was trained to box, just like he was trained to box against Tyson, and he stuck to the script. The problem fof a fighter wired like this is when they have to make an adjustment during the fight.

Fury can adjust anytime during a fight. He also has reach and knows how to use it well. Fury also is one of a few guys these days who can actively and naturally fight off his back foot. I think Joshua is talented but on paper these advantages seem very large for Fury. Fury has the advantage of being able to create a lot of space fighting off his back leg. This gives him plenty of time to react to Joshua. Reach allows him to control Joshua with a good jab.

Joshua just does not have the aggression to break into Fury imo. Of course in the heavyweights there is always a chance!

Hearn had at least 2 fights ,it’s evident watching him on heavy bag or pads , not bad speed bag work either . He’s grown around boxing ,you got the wrong Billy of lying on here . Ha

Josh may well win. He's not green and he's in prime. Fury has given Josh the best chance to win.
Didn't fight Josh when Josh was green. Abused himself for 3 years on coke, booze, pizza and kebabs.

I’ve seen the videos in question he’s no better than a guy who’s just started boxing.

Why are you so defensive?
What have I lied about?
Are you another Angeljuice alt or just a Hearn fanatic?

Are you a Tyson Fury fan?

Bs I will be seriously surprised if Joshua beats Fury not going to forget the Ruiz 1 fight or the getting chinned by the ghost of wlad

I see the same fighter since then where as Fury improves his game every big fight he shows up and not against the likes of hammer and Cunningham

Fury is going to win a decision all day long imo
