Comments Thread For: Hunter: I Told Hearn I'm Ready For The Challenge of Joshua

All three have their weaknesses. I believe Fury and Joshua’s to be smaller heavyweights.

Hell, look who gave Fury his hardest fight.

Cunningham? he certainly gave the big ***** a scare. Honestly though I think Fury's main weakness is complacency/attention span - especially when fighting someone he's "supposed" to beat. He arses around to much when he thinks it's easy. Wilder's weakness is his lack of technical ability, He's been outboxed plenty of times and not always by great boxers like Fury and Ortiz, before that right hand has got him out of jail.
Joshua's is shorter HW's and to an extent, over-thinking. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt with Povetkin as I've always rated the stocky Ruski, but he over-analysed the problem of Takam when he should have just his size to bully him.

Yeah, Cunningham. Fury is by far the most talented of the three, and at times it does seem like he gets bored, but Cunningham was outboxing him well until the KD, and Fury switched up his game plan.

Wilder....where do we start? haha. His footwork? his everything? I don't even know what to call it, because he has showcased excellent technical ability in the past, but it's like he's just completely forgotten it? Gets in his own head that he needs the knockout?

Joshua has been overthinking ever since Wlad knocked him down. He seems like a scared fighter since that happened, which is definitely causing him to overthink.

With Joshua, although he is boxing with a bit of fear since Wlad stuck him on his ass I think he needed it to realize he's not unbeatable. Although he was knocking everyone out he showed no regard for defense and was a KO waiting to happen. He'll never be able to move like Fury but the guard has improved, it's just a case of sorting out the balance between caution and attack now. In a way although he won and has continued to since, the 1st title shot against Martin probably came to soon as he still should have been having a few more learning fights.
