    Fury is way above Joshua in skill.
    Joshua is not a slow fighter, he is a better round athlete than Fury 'And he is a solid super heavyweight'

    No matter how much people go on about Fury being 270 + pounds 'But Fury is not solid at the weight'.

    Lets be real, Fury does not want to train in the manner 'Like he used to while training under Peter Fury'.

    Fury is not solid at the weight, and he is no genetic monster 'Like people try to claim'.

    Franklin is a more in form fighter than Chisora 'Joshua has just beaten him rather easily'.

    Yes the performance was not as brutal as people were anticipating. But for me his jab, and the ability to hold and wrestle on the inside 'These are attributes that Joshua needs as a super-heavyweight'.

    This demand for Joshua to blast fighters out in quick fashion is nonsense. Tyson Fury is not pushing around or bulling a solid super-heavyweight in Joshua 'Fury has pushed no real super heavyweight around, the only top fighters Fury has tried to be the big man vs are Wilder & USS Cunningham'.

    I class Joshua has a physically stronger fighter than Fury, even when Joshua was weighing in at close to 240 pounds 'The ceiling for his brute strength was greater than Fury's'.

    And this comparison with Bruno, people make of Joshua 'For me it is not a insult'. Bruno in reality had possibly the second best Jab of the 90's heavyweight era, and the man had serious power 'Bruno was also only ever beaten by Champions'.

    Lets see then if the fight between Joshua & Fury happens 'Joshua has just won his comeback fight, and achieved his first win in 2 years'.

    Tyson Fury in comparison, even though he is the WBC Champion 'Fury has barely fought at World level in his last two fights, and STILL has not fought Usyk'.

    Who is Tyson Fury fighting next? Is he fighting Joshua? Joyce? Or is he was mentioning them to create a narrative?

    And all this talk about Fury's skill level, the fact of the matter is 'Joshua skill for skill has been fighting at a higher level than Fury'.

    Franklin is a better more in form fighter than Chisora, and he has proven that even while training part time? He was able to compete with Whyte.

    Joshua back to back has fought Usyk 'Who is a super elite fighter'.

    Tyson Fury skill for skill has not fought at elite level for 7-8 years 'Since the Kiltschko fight'.

    I rate Deontay Wilder extremely highly, his aggression, his power, his determination gameness and solid enough Jab 'But skill for skill technically as a boxer, Wilder is not a elite level fighter'. Although fighting Wilder was a elite level challenge for Fury, in terms of skill 'No boxing purest technically would rate Wilder as a elite level fighter'.

      With only 1 common denominator as to why they didn't happen.

        Exactly what i was going to say, the only ranking system i could find him on was boxrec (a system i don't like) where he's 34.
        Fight Wilder, Joyce, Hrgovic, Sanchez even. I'd even put big Mak to beat the Aj we saw last night.

        Earn you shot Kanye.

          Surely now the current crop are all in their mid to late 30s it's time that we started getting them facing off?
          Lmao AJ fans are reduced to “boxing fans will buy it” as to why their hero should stil be involved in top fights. Competitiveness is no longer required hahahah. Hate to see it

            Buy it for whatever reason you want as long as it gets made.

            It would be a big fight, and I think it would be a much better fight than you're thinking.

              Easy money for Fury. Former paper champ in decline. Massive payday optional defense. Would rather see Joyce-Joshua

                Yes, everything is "easy" for Fury. So he will probably fight Charr next, because everything else is so f.ucking easy for him.

                He gets a credit for beating Joshua, Usyk, without even fighting them.

                  it’s a big fight based on name value not competitiveness. It would not be a good or close fight cmon man. Fury would have hurt Franklin last night. AJ just isn’t what he was hyped up to be. He beat an old retired hadn’t fought in 2 years vlad klitscko. That’s his best win. 2 years after fury dismantled him flawlessly. Dude got KTFO by Andy ruiz then had to decision him when he was grotesquely out of shape in the rematch. The warning signs were all there. He’s not boxing’s first hypejob and he won’t be it’s last. Any fight with Tyson fury will be the end of AJ. He will be brutally KOd. Doubt fury gives him the time of day at this point tho. Hell tell him go beat wilder and I’ll give u a shot. And that won’t happen because wilder will stretch him and he knows it lol

                    The Matchroom paid incels are back with their strawman narrative. Fury with his trash last 2 defenses and not making Usyk unification is BS and he deserves the pile on. Joshua in a 12 round bore snore where he couldn’t even hurt the #50 HW in the world is at best a mandate that he is no more than a trial horse

                      If u ever seen the 3 fight you would know why. AJ has no chin heart or gas tank has lost to Andy ruiz by KO and usyk 2x. Usyk has 2 debateable wins on his resume and has been dropped by a lhw in the amateurs. Chisora and Bredis almost and in the eyes of many beat usyk. And Bredis just got dominated to a no name from Australia who fought with broken arm(jai opetia)and fury just dominated chisora. Neither of those guys are elite level hws. Go watch glowacki vs usyk. He lands a combo to his torso in like round 8 I think and usyk just falls to get a break from the onslaught. Wasn’t called a KD but there was no slip usyk just didn’t like the punches. I know uhate fury but he’s the best HW of this generation. just enjoy his greatness mate. He’s everything ur hero AJ will never be.
                      if ur an AJ fan u should hope they never put him in with the gypsy king. Why would u want ur guy hospitalized?
