AJ is the top HW at the moment.

We will never know until Joshua finally decides to fight out of the box and stop being protected and start taking some risks. I believe he is aiming in that direction now.
He is looking for meaningful and purposeful fights that are going to help define and enhance his legacy; As opposed to just fighting for money. He will like to begin doing that with a Deontay Wilder fight.Comment

He has no title defenses. No!
Joshua on his way to getting 10 title defenses very soon in what will be around 25 fights.Comment

I have grown to like Fury and would love to see him clean up the division by beating the other 2, but having seen them both live a few times i am pretty sure Joshua will KO Fury, i dont doubt he take a few rounds to close the range but once he does it will not last long. Fury has great defensive skills and can look like a master boxer against a crude swinger like Wilder, AJ is far more skilled and well rounded than Wilder and also has decent feet, underated handspeed and timing he also has a lot more physical strength than Wilder who Fury was able to push around. I think Joshua ends it in around 5 rounds with Fury and I would be surprised if Wilder lasted 3 with AJ he has no more than the punchers chance that any heavyweight has in all bouts.Comment

Fury is no1 and Josh unless he has an agenda shouldnt mind that. As it means he can fight Fury, beat him easy and then be considered no1.
Why today is it instant gratification? Would t josh get more satisfaction beating fury to be mo1.? I mean josh picked the belts out of bin or beat Martin to be champ. Is that bad enough?
Fury was the man, and you are only as good as your last fight which was fury beating Wlad. So why would josh be no1 beating Fury leftovers?
Yes, Fury is no1. JOsh needs to fight Fury and then josh can be no1. If the urgency for josh to be no1 is so great, he better gets his skates on and fight Fury as soon as possible.Last edited by hugh grant; 12-27-2018, 07:27 AM.Comment

Its impossible to have any general consensus on this until Joshua and Fury face off. In my opinion, based on both fighters last fights, Joshua will KO Fury.
Fury is head and shoulders a better boxer but Joshua is a fantastic balance of power, speed and aggression. What Fury has done to come back from his mental and physical condition is fantastic for him. He beat Wilder, in my opinion and he fully deserves to be back in the mix for title shots. He didn't deserve a title shot against Wilder though. He out manoeuvred Hearn/Joshua for that fight.
Joshua is doing what only the greats can do. He won a world title very early in his Pro career and has needed to maintain his status for a long time now. Fury hasn't and Wilder 100% hasn't.
People are only hating on Joshua because Fury got the fight against Wilder and considering the recent news about Wilder shutting (aka ducking) Joshua out, Wilder fans will continue to hate on him because Wilder *****es and moans because he didn't get his pay day (even though its not about money, right Deontay?) but its pure jealousy really.Comment

Having the right promoter. That's how he become a titleholder with just only 16 professional bouts against Charles Martin and a unified titleholder against both Klitschko and Parker after they both refused unifications with Deontay Wilder.
He has a super aggressive promoter who literally purchased the belt from the American Charles Martin. Moreover, don't even get me started with his win over Klitschko; Where he went life and death and to Hell and back against him.
That's right with a shot, washed up 41 year old fighter on the decline with diminishing skills. He was an opportunist. He was at the right place at the right time. Wladimir wouldn't unify with Wilder but yet he chose to unify with Joshua instead.Comment
