Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Opens as Slight Favorite To Beat Tyson Fury

[BWC]

Fury has all the tools to beat AJ except for maybe power. To beat AJ I think you have to have the power to back him off you or else he's just going to walk through a guy before landing the right hand. That's why Whyte, no prize, was AJ's toughest opponent to date. He at least was willing to throw and keep AJ at bay a bit..

Fury might not have the brutal one punch KO power of a Wlad/Wilder/Joshua but he can punch. In recent fights he hasn't really sat down on his punches properly due to him preparing for Klitschko.

I think Fury boxes AJ's ears off, beats him up and and ref waves it off late.

Oh that could happen, Fury can definitely box. But he will need to really sit on his punches to beat AJ

So a fight between the #1 and #2 fighters in the division never interested you?

Wow, you're an even bigger casual than i originally thought.

Never considered fury anymore than a top 10 heavyweight...ugly style and ungainly ...as for klitchcko the way he wrestled povetkin constantly to the floor he should have been DQ and then scraping past powder puncher Jennings was hardly awe inspiring....say what you want denium....I tune in late to every fight..whether it's postol vs mattysse, Crawford vs Gamboa, kovalev vs pasquale....now as I said before...the heavyweight division will change for the better now as Joshua will take over the division ...he will knock fury clean out and he will also beat Haye although I consider Haye tougher to beat but he will still hunt haye down and finish him......I'm casual according to you yet I've been all around the world watching fights and this casual is unaffraid to lay a wager with you....you talk a good game that's for sure...but it's time to back it up with your brave predictions ...name it

I don't think I've ever seen anyone on NSB get owned as repeatedly as Steve Plunger does. He's the gift who keeps on giving.

LMFAO at your avatar pi!

Steve talks sense on a lot of topics. But when it comes to Fury and AJ, he lost touch with reality months ago.

crazy, Fury will beat joshua worse than what tiger did to price

Ok buddy, when the fight gets made, me and you will have a bet. Are you in the UK? We should go and watch it live.

U crack me up lol....u have one rule for fury and another for Joshua.....fury's been dropped by fighters who weighed 50lbs lighter and yet u still try to defend it....Leonard has been hurt in sparring,pacquaio,Tyson almost every fighter it's happened to ...so what happened with Joshua with price whether it's true or not has no bearing on how Joshua is now .....I care about now and all I know is Joshua will beat fury....now I'm a forum poster the same as you but you seem to have an over the top opinion on how good you think fury is ....u even posted that you think fury could beat Muhammad Ali ......your ridiculous with your opinions and I'm looking forward to the day joshua KO's fury and it ends your fixation with tyson fury.......it will happen either this year or next summer and I hope you have some humble pie to give out when your hero gets sparked out

You are trying to make out that I am the same as you when it comes to Fury and AJ, but in reverse - worshiping Fury and crapping on AJ, but that's not so.

I've crtiticised Fury in the past for show boating during fights and getting out of condition between them. And, as a matter of fact, I don't think I've ever criticised AJ for anything, and I've defended him many times from people saying he is on steds.

I rate Josh highly. I just don't believe he's ready for a fight withTyson Fury yet.

I don't think I've ever said that Fury would beat Ali. But I have pointed out that there are parallels between them and their careers:

Both were mocked and derided as loud-mouthed, deluded fools on their way up, and given no chance by the experts of beating the dominant champions of their eras - Liston and Wlad.

Both had their chances of winning world titles written off after being decked by journeymen - Sonny Banks and Neven Pajkic - and also by much smaller opponents - Henry Cooper and Steve Cunningham.

Fury, just like Ali, uses humour and disrespectful, mocking trash-talk to get inside opponents heads and give himself a psychological edge in a fight.

I'm surprised that a UK fan like you seems to have forgotten that Cooper, who could have made LHW if he'd wanted, still came closer to knocking Ali spark out than anyone else in his whole career.

Ali has earned his greatness....he consistenly fought and beat the greatest of his era silly man....and for you to even mention fury in the same sentence shows you are complete c@nt totally.....let fury beat an in prime joshua,haye,wilder,ortiz and a Parker to even be mentioned in the same breath as ali...you are showing how ****** you really are by even discussing this sort of comparison.....I will not judge fury on his performance againt klitchcko untill he has beaten him again to show its not a fluke....if you consider the way fury boxed in the first fight against klitchcko was a masterful dominant boxing display then you really are beyond hope......as I said many times before joshua will KO fury and when he does I am gonna hound you off this boxing forum for being so clueless about boxing styles and terms of greatness
