Comments Thread For: Whyte on Fury vs. Joshua: It's Hard To Pick, It's a 50-50 Fight

[miniq]

Let me make this simple for everyone:

IQ: Fury
Footwork: Fury
Speed: Fury
Stamina: Fury
Recovery: Fury
Chin: Equalish, Fury is a naturally bigger man and can take a better shot.
Inside ability: Fury
Outside ability: Fury
Mental and physical toughness: Fury



Raw single punch power: AJ



That was easy wasn't it? Fury is going to jab his nut in, make him look like a big stiff amatuer then knock him out late fight. Fury could roll out of bed at 300 pounds and give AJ a tough fight. Gulf in class and ability.

I suspect Whyte should survive Povetkin next week and Fury can then decimate him worse than he did Chisora.

Who has the more powerful jab?
Who has the better uppercut?

Joshua.

I'd argue if you compare every punch in their arsenal that are comparable (and yes Fury has a few punches that Joshua doesn't because he is unconventional, convention being the use of only legal punches), that Joshua puts more mustard on all of them.

Fury fought Klitschko for 12 rounds and didn't hurt him once. Joshua put the hurt on from both the outside and the inside.

For once I'm going to actually agree with Whyte, somehow his bs level was turned off.
I enjoyed Ajs rise but then he said in that sky interview in 18 with Johnny Nelson "i won't be rushed into the Wilder fight" when asked when he said"19 20 21"Hearn then said 2020. Quack. Hearn even said "maybe he'll loose by then" Coincidence that's how it turned out exactly & now they're open to a 5050 fight.
Then Ajs reign of moneyball boxing began alway's picking the oldest slowest fighter's available. 4 of his last 6 are 38-41 & Fury will be Ajs first top 2 heavyweight.
Fury bore meat no defences beats the long standing world number 1 & unfortunately had a mental breakdown, what he's achieved by coming back & beating another world number 1 (aj just lost to #15 ruiz) to finish his collection of all the belts is miraculous.
Both flawed but Fury's already had 2 legacy fight's & i think that prepares Fury better than Aj fighting 4 past it slow old men Ruiz & Parker who wasn't allowed to hit back.
If its a jabbing match Fury wins. If a brawl breaks out & there's preasure Aj gasses & he's fragile. Aj can catch Fury though i just hope after the fight we won't be talking about an Edward paid ref again.

Anthony Joshua has a deeper resume than Tyson Fury 'Joshua has taken on all comers as a champion'.

Wladimir Kiltschko was in better condition for Joshua than Fury, he weighed in at 240 pounds for Joshua vs 245 pounds for the Fury fight 'Kiltschko went through 3 back to back training camps coming into the Joshua fight, because Fury kept on pulling out of their rematch',

You may mock Ruiz Junior, but he is a good fighter 'Better than 98% of the fighters of Fury's resume'.

Fair enough Tyson Fury has too great wins at elite level, but? The man has been a very poor champion 'He has made 0 Championship defenses'.

When Tyson Fury faces Anthony Joshua, for the first time in his career 'He will be favourite at elite level, against another elite level fighter'..

This is a completely new experience for Tyson Fury, the only time he was in this position before 'Was for the Kiltschko rematch'.

You cannot discredit Joshua's resume, he is the only active Heavyweight champion who has attempted to clear out the division.

Joshua has fought the best fighters available, Povetkin was better than anyone Fury has faced outside of Kiltschko & Wilder.

Note: I think Tyson Fury should win the fight with Joshua, but I am just highlighting that overall Joshua has a better resume than Fury.

You know what, that's a very refreshing post. All your points can be argued for or against, agreed with or disagreed with but all your bullet points are straight up Boxing
Ability based. No talking about fat Mexicans or Boars bollocks. Just Boxing ability.

So, 24 days or so left until a date must be given for this fight.

If Kenny Useless is the ref, the odds of Fury winning will double.

Fury has the worst resume in boxing. How smart, ''fast'', etc does a guy need to be vs Fury's lineup ?
AJ would have cleaned out everyone he fought (? vs Wilder)

AJ won't be waiting for a single shot like Wilder did/does.
Fury was allowed to push down on Wilders neck and hit him with rabbit punches all night.
If Wilder and AJ fight and AJ is allowed to be dirty, AJ wins.

Fury bored the judges and everyone who watched that snoozefest vs shot Wlad.
A motived Wlad pushed AJ a little and AJ bounced back.

Fury is clumsy
AJ is robotic

Hoping AJ wins
