He's extremely difficult to beat in my opinion.I hesitate to give Fury praise but I believe he's the best heavyweight today.....I can't believe I'm saying that, but he's way better than people realize. It's starting to seem that he doesn't have the mentality to be top level fighter for a long time....Depression, coke addiction, etc....If he was mentally stable he'd be a difficult champ to beat.
To the untrained eye he might not seem much as he doesn't look spectacular. But the way he negated Klitschko's game and offset everything he does for 12 rounds was masterful. His ring IQ is very, very high i think.Comment

I would say Fury is difficult to look good against and impossible to be perfect against. Wlad has this whole thing where he tries to be perfect, those opportunities aren't going to be there against a guy like Fury so you have to take some 50/50 opportunities which Wlad just doesn't do.
Guys that are willing to take those 50/50's will be rewarded and have a chance to force Fury out or really pen him in. A guy like Joshua will take those chances and probably more.
Fury played Wlad like a Stradivarius though no denying that. while his style is universally difficult I don't know that it wins against a guy really willing to bring the fight to him.Comment

I think Szpilka would make most guys look bad if he fought with that kind of movement.Nah I think you need to watch it again, we can agree to disagree on it but up until the KO right hand Wilder looked terrible.... I honestly cringed at some of the right hands he missed, especially some of the counters he attempted off the ropes.
Wilder is a terrible boxer with athletic gifts, that's the best way I can put it.Comment

Looking bad is different than losing rounds. I didn't say he looked great I said he was winning the rounds especially as the fight wore on. Wilder is not poetry in motion for the most part. He found the counter in the end which was poetry in motion~Nah I think you need to watch it again, we can agree to disagree on it but up until the KO right hand Wilder looked terrible.... I honestly cringed at some of the right hands he missed, especially some of the counters he attempted off the ropes.

That fight doesn't mean anything either because Szpilka is left handed and fights nothing like Joshua.
He is a great athlete, and he is not a textbook boxer but he can still be very effective and difficult to deal with because of his non-textbook style. Joshua may very well beat him though, I just think it is much more dangerous for Joshua than you believe.Comment
