Comments Thread For: Fury: Joshua is a Useless, Big Raw Novice - He 'Bought' His Shot!

[angad10]

people need to remember that joshua was wlads sparring partner not too long ago. and fury deserves respect for being the man to dethrone the man with the second highest title defenses at heavyweight- dr steelhammer. who is a legend and future hall of famer.

fury is the legit champ and the ibf belt should be his.

i am really excited about martin-joshua but both these guys are prospects. joshua did buy the title shot because of hearns backing and martin won by default as glazkov got injured. i still dont get the hate though. regardless of the circumstances and whether the belt is on the line or not we are getting a good fight and props to martin for traveling to england to fight the british wonderboy joshua. we will see a ko for sure.

id like to add that the fury - klitschko fight was a farce and i am glad i didnt have to pay a cent to watch it. i actually fell asleep while watching it. ive decided the days i cant sleep i put on a boring fight. it really helps.

Joshua is a hype job.

He is not much better than a super roided Wilder.

He was also gifted the Olympic Gold.

A worthless platitude. Plenty of punchers learnt to be punchers by altering their training and changing their style, Tommy Hearns being the obvious one.

Unless you have the bones of a small bird or the musculature of an anorexic girl you can be trained to punch hard. Might not be in your best interests, given your style and other factors, but it can be done.

Bradley's lack of punching power is entirely down to his technique.

Tommy Hearns was not a natural puncher?

Remind me to ignore your posts from now on.

Fury is just salty that AJ has a gold medal and good backing.

Joshua has very good footwork for a heavy weight. Not the fastest feet but he is always on balance when he punches which helps his power. Fury is always punching off balance and while he is jumping in mid air, hence why for a 6'9 250 lb man he has the punch power of a cruiserweight.

I used to like Fury a lot, but he talks out his ass so much. One day he hates boxing and wants to retire, the next hes a born fighter who lives to fight. And now he's claiming an olympic gold medalist has no skills...

Joshua is a like a damn one-speed robot with exactly ZERO variety to his game, just the same predictable two punch combination. That dude is gonna get starched by PLENTY of other HW's.

How was Whyte inactive for 3 years?

He had a 2 year drug ban

Thomas Hearns was a puncher from his first pro fight.

I agree that Joshua has shown not the best footwork and defense but his offense is pretty good and he trains like an animal, is in amzing physical shape.
Martin is the more natural fighter, not as well trained as Joshua but hes an big ankward southpaw with power, something joshua has never dealt with. He also has decent counter skills and that could be dangerous for Joshua. Joshua will propably start verry agressive as usual and if Martin survives the early storm and finds the right timing for a counter it could be lights out for Josh. To me its a pick em fight and with these betting odds one should bet a few bucks on Martin.
But look at what Joshua does in training its verry impressive for a big man like him he does anything possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1HydHBjJeo

Similar how Fury talked his shot?
Who did Fury fight to earn a shot at Wladimir what a big doofy oaf, Fury even said in sparring AJ was handing his ass to him this could also happen in the pro's If he doesn't change things up drastically.

Is Fury gonna fight or talk? He didn't put a time frame in his rematch clause? He's jealous that Joshua is a bigger star than he is.

Fury is right. 5 years of pumping iron can give anyone a hard punch. He's built like a brickhouse, but no skills. Easy night for Martin and yeah he has to go for a KO, because he ain't wining on points in the UK unless he wants to be lynched.

He can box - he has an Olympic gold, you don't get those just by being a puncher.

Fury is the luckiest man alive, and will get beaten by any of Joshua, Wilder or Parker, and probably a few others.

Listen to this.
