    Which version of AJ should go up against Fury? The buff bruiser or marathon runner?

    Should AJ bulk back up to his Klitchko and Ruiz 1 weight/build or should he stay with his trimmed down version we saw in Ruiz 2?

    Either one Fury beats in my opinion. AJ is too robotic and slow for Fury.

      The marathon runner for sure, still catching a loss whichever way.

        I dont think it matters either way he will be beaten. But if he stands any chance at all, probably the marathon runner, Fury can hang for 12 rounds, AJ struggles when he has too much muscle, he gasses early and that's when Fury will take advantage.

            I think AJ can come in slimmed down (or find a happy medium) like he did and still go for broke. His stamina was much better in the Ruiz rematch and he would be a jacked-up sitting duck if he tried and failed to blast out Fury in the first few rounds.

              AJ the brawler is the one that beats Tyson Fury.

                Joshua was over-trained vs Ruiz Junior 'I don't think that version will be appearing again'.

                Wilder must have a big frame because at 231 he was only 8 pounds lighter than Joshua, seems to deceptively carry his weight Wilder etc

                I suppose Joshua may weigh in just under 245 pounds at the max for his next fight.

                  I think the Ruiz version is better. Hell, he is still strong as a bull with more muscle than almost anyone. There is such a thing as being too muscular and it slows down the punches and lessons the power.

                    A bit of each.

                    Low 240s not too bulky not too scrawny
