Should Joshua pick up some wins before fighting Fury?

[Mammoth]

To trick casuals in to believing it's a competitive fight or should Joshua just go ahead and take another L?

Joshua won his last fight. He's also considerably more skilled than Wilder and a dangerous puncher, Styles make fights and I think its a 50-50 fight. Recency bias is real though especially among boxing fans with short memories. I still remember your "Hurd is definitely going to stop J-Rock, J-Rock has no chance" thread.

I think they should just let the fight build even more, Joshua should fight his mandatory opponents 'Wilder will initiate a rematch'

Fury for whatever reason seems willing to fight Wilder again 'Probably because it makes business sense'

Me too. Ate crow on that one.

So why are you acting like Joshua has no chance against Fury?

[TMLT87]

I dont think its all that necessary but if he wants to face Pulev first before fighting Fury later this year I wouldnt be against that.

He should to stay in shape, I have a feeling this fight is going to take a while to get made.No fight is actually going to get him ready to fight a man with the size and skill set of the Gypsy King though.When the fight happens he will get sparked out

So why are you acting like Joshua has no chance against Fury?

Because even if I view Joshua as a much more well rounded fighter than Wilder, I still don't know what Joshua could do to win. If Joshua applies pressure Fury could outbox him. If Fury applies pressure, Joshua could fold.

Huge fight though. Should happen...

He’s got to beat Pulev first

Order of events as they hopefully play out: AJ/Pulev, Fury/Wilder 3, AJ/Usyk, Fury/Whyte, AJ/Fury
