    AJ has more ring IQ than Wilder.

    It will be competitive.

      Huge fight though. Should happen...
      I agree Fury is the favorite, but too many people are going to act like he's unbeatable after last night. It's the HW division, anybody can go down on any night, have we already forgotten Fury getting roughed up and pushed to the brink by Wallin?

          Fury is really hit or miss. He's been consistant in all the big fights he's been in though.

          And you're right, this is Heavyweight boxing and Joshua can punch.

            It looks like Fury only wants to fight 3 more times so the fighters? He may be facing are Wilder again, Joshua and possibly Dillian Whyte.

              The fight is inevitable but in order for me to get interested, AJ has to prove he isn’t gun shy against Pulev. He most certainly was in the Ruiz rematch. That version of him loses to Fury and it’s not close.

                Various mandatories will keep AJ from having to face Fury, who in the meantime will go to weed and probably retire.

                I mean. Because boxing.

                  Joshua has never ran from a challenge. We dont do marinating in uk either, we fight.

                    Anthony Joshua is dead game. Meaning he won't get beat red. Look at.how he has reacted to Ruiz 1. He snatched his soul in the second fight, dominating in ways only he could improve.

                    I heard that Ruiz was light for the fight but he felt weak and needed to get his weight back up. None of this B's I wasn't training shiet. He made a conscious decision to come in at that wright. After the fight he milked the public into thinking he was a fridge raider for self sympathy. Horrible excuse.

                      The same thing happened to tua and Chris Byrd, tua came in at 235 and said he felt weak.
