Comments Thread For: Fury's Father: Joshua Frightened, Will Retire Before Facing Tyson

[Divine Hammer]

i believe its eddie hearns whose scared. make the fight eddie!!!!!!!!!!

[BillyBoxing]

Yeah that's fair enough, he signed his life away, he has to deal with the consequences of that

It looks that he's pretty fine with it.

I think Josh is a smart dude, and so is McCracken, they build him up and still doing, Josh is not a natural born fighter like Fury, he's a text book boxer, but a good one.
They know Josh was vulnerable, with bamby legs footwork and bad habits in defense.
Still, Josh is a tank, smart, strong, got hearth, good reflexes, decent inside game, good jab.

Josh has gotten better IMO, I thought his perf in the rematch with Ruiz was brilliant.

They should do the Josh vs Fury fight in Saudi Arabia...Arum needs to understand that.

This is just trash talk I’ma fan of both but want joshua to win it’ll be more exciting if this era has three top heavies instead of one

I think the issues with making fights stem mainly from promotional gobbledyg00k, purses, splits, TV rights, lowballing, dodgy contracts... AJ himself, I can't see that he has problems getting in the ring with anyone, even if he is perpetually muzzled and horrendously PR-trained. I remember Tyson Fury in an interview once talking about some of the details of dealing with Eddie, calling him a sleaze, saying you can't trust this man, etc. That seems about right to me. Even if Tyson contradicts himself sometimes, and talks a lot of bs, he strikes me as being about 1 million % more honest than Eddie, and unfortunately for us, AJ is not his own man...

Totally agree
At the same time it’s always AJ who comes out looking like the bad guy so to say
He made his bed now he’s gotta lie in it

This is coming from.the man telling his son not to fight AJ, but retire now.
Hope it happens- Joshua 100% wants it. The biggest impediments will be Fury's Dad telling him not to do it - and Frank Warren being an idiot asking for more than 50/50.
This is real talk boxing.

Joshua looked wide eyed & scared against the fat blob Ruiz. Deep down I don't think he really wants to fight Fury.

I think Eddie will force his hand. Good for us fans.

[Jax teller]

Joshua def not a coward, his record is good.

But he never seemed in a hurry to fight the other guys of the TOP 3.

I always thought he was reluctant to fight Wilder, at least in the US, so I don't see why he would quickly sign a fightwith the guy who murked Wilder

When was AJ supposed to have fought the other guys in the top 3, especially Fury?

Should have picked a fight with Fury after the Seferi fight when he looked like it was gonna take a while for the comeback and he was busy offering Wilder large multiples of his highest payday? The only time Fury has appeared to be possibly free since his comeback was when he was secretly sorting out his ESPN deal and even then he was supposed to be rematching Wilder.

Wilder's not been available since the First Fury fight either and has turned down every offer from AJ and refused to send his team to meet Hearn for the offer they'd made themselves. I'd go as far as saying Wilder has intentionally made himself unavailable which is why he was announcing his rematches with Ortiz and Fury a week before the first Ruiz fight without them being finalised.

I don't know about that. I, for one believe Anthony Joshua is a more complete and fundamentally sound fighter than Deontay Wilder but so was Wladimir Klitschko and we all witnessed what Tyson Fury did to him. However, we all witnessed what Anthony Joshua did to Klitschko also.

I will say this though. Fury would not be able to maul and manhandle the much wider and stronger Anthony Joshua the way he did the much smaller Deontay Wilder on the inside because the natural 250 lbs Anthony Joshua is a lot stronger than Tyson Fury. Therefore, I expect the "Herky Jerky" version of Tyson to return for this fight.

At the end of the day, I expect Joshua to get his hands raised. I got him winning this fight by either unanimous decision or by way of knockout.

[SplitSecond]

This is funny since John Fury is advising Fury to retire right now without facing Joshua.

[kafkod]

Yeah that's fair enough, he signed his life away, he has to deal with the consequences of that

AJ is his own man. He proved that by setting a cap on the money Hearn was allowed to offer Dillian Whyte and forcing Eddie to scrap his April Wembley date last year.

AJ won't duck Fury. I don't think he'll beat him, but he won't duck him.
