Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Confident He Would Put Anthony Joshua To Sleep

Joshua lets his hands go let's see what happens once Joshua checks that chin.

Being able to let your hands go depends very much on what the man on the other side of the ring is doing.

Just read in a British boxing magazine that josh would be betting favourite against haye?
But josh don't think he's ready for hate yet! So we will just have to sit tight for a little longer

Joshua doesn't think he's ready for a 35 year old inactive injury prone former cruiserweight? I mean there's being realistic about your abilities and then there's this. Show a little backbone if you're all that you're cracked up to be.

Yes its a little frustrating when hearn says things like josh would beast any heavyweight now. Then say he's not ready for hate yet, or there's no rush?

Mixed signals and confusing! Hsaye now isn't the one who took wlad the distance. He's been out 4 years so should be on Josh's radar now

Exactly. Can't have it both ways. Either Josh is this unstoppable killing machine that flattens all comers or he's a work in progress. At the moment he's a work in progress and I just wish more people would own up to that.

Why would we say anything critical? The point I was making, since you appeared to miss it, was that Joshua needs to fight these types of guys before talking about Fury, not that he wouldn't beat them in the first place. Chisora's a solid measuring stick and would go a long way to legitimatising Joshua if he wins. He'd still be a long way from Fury, but there'd at least be some substance to his top ten positioning.



We know exactly what Fury's level is, since the manner in which he beat Wlad was as emphatic as you could get, regardless of how entertaining you found the fight. There were no lucky punches, no blown knees, no fight ending cuts. Fury systematically outboxed one of the most dominant heavyweight champions of the last ten years round after round after round. Maybe Wlad got old overnight, who knows? But until we see how Wlad performs in the rematch and subsequent fights, the result has to stand on its own merits.

Not sure what you're saying with that last line. Fury took a shot **** on the chin from a far more experienced fighter in Cunningham then blitzed him as well. Being able to come back from being hurt is the hallmark of a great fighter since, at least in the heavyweight division, even one shot can end things for the night. Joshua showed decent composure for which I commend him, but he's not as battle tested as Fury by a long chalk and shouldn't be favoured over him at present.

I think you have bit more common sense that most fury fans on here so it's not always aimed at you..and I think you know deep down that joshua will cause big problems for a fury especially in a years time... Yeah I agree chisora will be a good measuring with joshua and I have no doubts in my mind he beats chisora inside 6 rounds...but we're talking about measuring sticks....what about Kevin Johnson went the distance with fury,chisora,hammer and char and joshua blitzed him.....I'm not saying he don't need stiffer challenges....he sure does and chisora will be the fight that brings joshua to the doorstep of a world title shot.....and I'm also saying joshua no matter when he fights or who he fights will beat any heavyweight he steps in the ring with.......2016 will be a year that puts joshua on brink of a world title fight....no one beat joshua in my eyes......

Fury never even landed any worth while shots on klitchcko except I think one in the 11 round....it was a shambles and a mockery....what are you looking at when you watch that fight really......look at the punch stats for heavens sake.....20 punches a round lol...lye took a shot from a blown up cruiserweight who 2 fights before weighed 197 pounds and in the fight he was 210 and fury 254...and he only had 13 knockouts in his whole career...that's says something about what kind of a puncher he was and to knock over a naturally bigger active fighter who towers above you...that's alarm bells I'm affraid.....look I'm not saying joshua should be considered higher than fury which he ain't of course fella ...fury has earn his win deserves to be ranked at the top....I'm saying if and when joshua and fury do meet then joshua knocks fury and gos to the very top of the divison ...joshua needs to up his game now for sure and I'm sure he will

Joshua is very heavy handed and if he can learn to land punches or an elusive target then he'll cause problems for anyone, Fury included. I don't know why people are expecting him to magically become this unstoppable force in a year's time though. He still has a lot to work on, and I'd prefer it if his handlers worked on correcting his flaws and improving his own mobility rather than rushing him up to a world title fight. I'd hate for him to turn into another David Price.

As you've probably guessed by now, I don't quite share your high opinion of Joshua, though I don't think he sucks by any means. His stoppage of Johnson was impressive, but that just tells us that Joshua punches like a mule, which we kinda already knew. If he can consistently take out guys like Chisora, Takam and Jennings then that says a whole lot more, and those are all good winnable fights for him in the near future. Even someone like Szpilka would be a good test, as Pinhead is a tricky customer with a lot of experience at world level.

He's not going to be ready for Fury until 2017 at the earliest however. Just too much to do between then and now.

Fury pulled a magic trick with klitchcko that's all.....nothing extra , chisora ws knocked out by haye and it was way quicker and more convincingly than fury did....and the first fight was close with fury , Hammer was knocked by wach way before he faced fury.....besides klitchcko which I personally think was either a set up or something was really wrong in his head...who exactly has fury beaten that are world beaters....not one fighter was or could have become a world champion at heavyweight fury has nothing in his arsenal that can keep joshua away from him......I think when fury finally gets in the ring with a hungry top 5 heavyweight he loses badly..whether it's wilder,Ortiz or joshua .....fury does not have a resume like a manny pacquaio ano besides klitchcko it's poor ....chisora got beat by haye, hammer was Ko'ed by wach, cunningham was a cruiserweight ....hardly awe inspiring is it

[2shameless]

One thing at a time. Retire Klitscko, fight the winner of Wilder/Povetkin and maybe by then Joshua will have earned the right to a title shot.
