Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Warns: I Will Walk Through Tyson Fury!

[maddad2001]

Funny Joshua thinks he'd walk through Fury, dumb cause for a 6'9 guy with a monster reach and good head movement, plus good footwork for a huge guy and ability to switch stances.

Martin had zero footwork, zero head movement and most importantly didn't even commit to throwing punches. What does Joshua do when fury is pushing loaded jabs into his face from a huge distance, whilst constantly moving his head and feet. plus joshua carrying all that muscle I doubt would do well after 6-7 rounds of fury leaning, holding and jabbing at him. boring maybe but effective and aj could end up blowing his tank and being vulnerable of being stopped. his best chance is getting fury out of there very early.

Joshua hasn't met anyone remotely like Fury, nor has he had to show any skills that he would need to compete with Fury.

Fury is 6'9 who can move very well, for such a big man he can fight inside well, fight on the outside using his jab, switch hit. Can Joshua beat Fury in a game of jabs? What if Fury uses his massive size and gets Joshua backing up and gets on the inside, does Joshua even have an inside game? nobody knows yet.

One thing is for certain, he isn't going to get Fury stood upright infront of him like the rest of his opponents.

He's going to need to show he has a lot more strings to his bow to beat Fury. Time will tell if he has them if they ever fight.

Joshua has fought better competition than Fury barring Wlad who wouldn't resemble the aggressive Joshua so the question is could Fury survive 12 rnd and make it out of the red zone first 5 rounds .Joshua will continue to improve and each passing fight he will be more dangerous , i just dont see Furys limited talent making it out of this one .He moves very good but i cant see that as the sole reason he wins against a two fisted much more athletic, extremely hard puncher who will get in on him and unleash those vicious combos on the inside ,one is bound to land on Furys head sooner or later.Fury is like a bigger version of Ali but can also fight inside ,Joshua is like a mix of Lewis and Tyson ...Everyone talks about how many fights each had and it means little to who can actually utilise their skills more effectively,Fury may get past 5 rnds but the improved Joshua wont let up..... Joshua k.o 7/8 rnd.

Jousha will have a tough night with Fury

Anyone with size, JAB and footwork will beat this kid, but there arent many boxers who fight like this currently

I'd bet my house that Wladimir can beat him also

Jousha is good but he is feeling himself too much, he's still green.

This guy just had an extremely easy fight against someone who obviously froze under the spotlight of the big event. Someone who forgot all of his boxing skills in a panic. That happens on the big stage. That doesn't mean next time will be the same assembly line easy defense. And this is nonsense, him thinking that just because he works hard in the gym, he gets the big prize. Fury, Ortiz would give AJ nightmares in the ring.

fury has a 3 inch height and reach advatange,
add to that his better boxing skills, head movement and footwork

klitschko has better speed and power then AJ and he hardly landed on fury,
fury would dominate, outbox and stop AJ

everytime AJ would try to come forward that big jab will be in his face followed by a right hand...

Wilder must be relieved to have been left out of this conversation.

Eddie Hearn is not ******, so relax boys. Joshua is 4-5 fights away from a Tyson Fury fight.

These are the current IBF HW rankings:

3. Erkan Teper - Who?
5. Carlos Takam - Who?
6. Joshua Parker - NOT YET
7. Vyacheslav Glazkov - INJURED
8. Kubrat Pulev - VERY POSSIBLE
9. Derek Chisora - MEH
10. Andy Ruiz - POSSIBLE
11. Bermane Stiverne - VERY POSSIBLE
12. Robert Helenius - VERY POSSIBLE
13. David Haye - NOT YET
14. Dominic Breazeale - Who?
15. Jarrell Miller - Who?

Watch him in the next few months get matched against the likes of Stiverne, Pulev or Helenius for a valid IBF title defense. These are good step ups in quality competition with a name that would prepare him better for bigger future prizefights.

In no way, shape or form will EH put him up against Fury, Haye or even Parker at this juncture, let alone whom I consider the best heavyweight at this moment, Luis Ortiz. So chill, AJ has a few before he meets the Gypsy King.

Tysons experience would keep him there for a few rounds but already going to the floor from a cruiserweight doesn't stand him in good stead for the fast and powerful hands of AJ .Tyson ,Haye and Wilder will all go the same way,tap,tap, boom.

[LacedUp]

It would definitely be a tricky fight for either man. Fury would right now be favourite in my mind ,but it's not like it'll be easy. And either man could get stopped.

But of course Fury is on another level to Martin. But so is Joshua as he proved yesterday
