Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua has a 'better chance than ever' of taking place

[thack]

Fury performed noticeably worse than AJ and Chisora in the first fight, getting badly brutalized and dropped by Usyk. In the rematch he did no better than AJ did in the Usyk rematch, but the difference is that was an older more battle worn version of Usyk. Fury still couldn't come close to beating him. Fury has always been somewhat overrated, partly because of his ability as a self-promoter. If you actually compare their records, AJ always outperforms Fury when it comes to shared opponents.

AJ and Fury both fought: Wladimir Klitschko, Wallin, Ngannou, Kevin Johnson, Whyte..

AJ knocked out everyone. Beat all 5 by KO.

Fury only knocked out one (a past prime Whyte). He went the distance with the rest. Ngannou arguably beat him. Wallin gave him a close fight.

So real question is does Fury deserve the AJ fight or has he never really quite been on AJ's level?

Joshua got hammered and nearly stooped in the final seconds barely made it to the bell v Usyk first fight after being totally out boxed .Fury was up on two scorecards when tagged and hurt in r9 , comeback to win later rounds .R9 cost him the first fight. on the cards . Second Joshua V Usyk ended up with Joshua having a mental breaking in the ring and making a complete idiot of himself. Fury v Usyk 2 was razor thin . Joshua's last fight was a complete annihilation where he was like a kid in a play pen again , similar to the Ruiz fight where he quit. Daniel beat him so bad and offered him an immediate rematch but was rightful advised to swerve , which he did .After that last brutal KO and Fury's razor thin loss , I think everyone besides the 'odd' one , but including the bookies would have Fury a clear favourite . So clearly it is Joshua who doesn't deserve the Fury fight . Losing in such a brutal manner doesn't put you up the rankings, it only happens in the mind of a fool.
