Would Joshua be able to run for all 12 rounds against Wilder? Or outbox Fury?

      He doesn't need to that soon... Next year he will get Pulev and (possibly) Usyk...

        Joshua would fight Wilder differently than he fought Ruiz. He had to fight Ruiz this way due to his fast hands

        As far as Joshua/Fury...he'll box with Fury because he has more power.

          Ruiz was all wrong for Joshua. He fights better against taller fighters. Joshua will have an easier time landing on Wilder, much easier. He has nothing to fear from Fury who is a HW Malignaggi.

            AJ is the much better puncher on the inside than both Wilder and Fury so he'd probably be the one closing the range and look to get in close.

              I think Joshua can beat Wilder on a good day, but not by running for all twelve rounds. He has to slip punches, as Pernell would admonish him, “make him miss and make him pay”.

              Joshua could outbox Fury in my opinion, and also could hurt him, too.

              I like Fury but think he is overrated. He’s a solid boxer with decent movement for his size, but the most challenging thing with fighting him is that he’s big, he’s awkward, and he’s hard to keep down.

                I think people seem to have forgotten that Joshua himself has dynamite in his hands, and has good boxing ability to go with it...

                Out of the three of them I think hes actually the most versatile and I would not count him out of either fight. He has the ability to walk Fury down much more effectively than Wilder did. He also has the ability to take Wilder out, and at the minimum present him with more danger and potential counter fire than Fury did. That first right hand that Joshua landed in rd 1 tonight would have prob put most heavies on ***** street.

                I dont necessarily disagree he may lose both fights, but as per usual here people are not seeing the intricacies of the style match ups. We have to see the fights play out, nothing is a forgone conclusion.

                  I'd bet money on fury boxing his ears off and Wilder koing him stiff and putting him in a pine box

                    answer is no just by having the reach they don't have to work that hard compare to Andy just to catch him with a punch

                      I agree. Wilder could be in trouble if Joshua lands the uppercut he landed on Klitschko.

                      And we saw Otto “All In” Wallin do a number on Fury’s face. Joshua could do as much or worse and get that fight stopped due to cuts. I don’t see him sparking out Fury, though, if Wilder couldn’t do it (yet).
