Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson Favors Fury Over Joshua: Fury Too Elusive, Joshua Won't Hit Him

[JTfloyd]

These Fury-Joshua threads are hilarious. From reading over the pro-Joshua posts, you'd never know that Anthony got outboxed and brutally stopped by the chubby 6'2" Ruiz, at the very peak of his physical prime. Apparently outboxing a Ruiz who put on 15-16 lbs for the rematch (to the point he had a C cup) and stopping a 40 year old Pulev...means you're capable of doing the very same to a mobile 6'9" guy with a longer reach, who can fight tall, has better reflexes, better boxing skills, a better chin, better stamina, and who can effectively fight southpaw.

Oh I certainly don’t have him favouring well against the all time greats but this is one of the weakest eras in heavyweight division history, far weaker than the champions for a day era of the early 80s when I was a younger man at the zenith of my interest in the sport. Not sure he would have had an easy night with the likes of Dokes, Thomas, Weaver, Tubbs, etc and certainly would have been stopped by Holmes but Joshua would have been beaten by all I just named

You miss my point. The history of the HW division is littered with people who match your description of Fury (that is, the best HW in the world and there isn't anything anyone can do about it). Champs that are big, bad unbeatable mofos.... until they aren't. From Dempsey to Louis to Liston to Foreman to Tyson and so on. It's just the nature of the beast.

Tyson is coming to **** not run; Especially with Sugar Hill Steward in his corner. If he attempts out box AJ by running out the clock and playing keep away then he is going to lose on all three of the official judge's scorecards. The only way Tyson Fury defeats Joshua is by beating him up.

I strongly doubt Fury begins the fight this way. It may be that Fury decides somewhere in the fight he has to go full Kronk, but I am very sceptical that he will go that route early in the fight.

Got caught by Pajkic, got caught by Cunningham, got caught by Wilder, got caught and cut by Wallin. But Joshua can't catch him? Put down the blunt Mike. Fury is going to run around the ring and try to stink the place out like he did against Klitschko but Joshua isn't safety first Klitschko.

[BackToTheJab]

Even the greats get caught. No one fights perfect every fight. But on the evidence shown so far, on the big nights, Fury provides. He goes to that next level. Battle of the jabs ? Fury, inside ? Fury. AJ has a chance if he can counter in the mid range. I'd be hedge betting on AJ KO or Tyson UD.

Fury is nothing but size. His skill set is laughable. All gangly, herky jerky, sad attempt to be cute. Weak jab, clumsy combos.

Nothing but size in a sad HW era.

Because that didn't happen. Joshua was completely dominating until he got reckless and caught trying to finish off Ruiz. Fury has feather fists, he'll win a few rounds, when Joshua realises Fury hits like a girl and steps to him it's goodnight gypsy.

I will have a big laugh after the bout at Fury's fantastic fans. I hope you guys are well prepared for the mental breakdown after the bout. Fury can't be touched or caught? What a delusion.

We wouldn't be typing about Fury if his resume was just a little more legit. A knda prime Wlad ends the Gypsy Farce.

Fury will mentally destroy Femi before they even get in the ring. Fury is going to beat Joshua up and make him look like a bum.

Tyson wins by KO due to Femi’s glass jaw.
