    Like i say, give me something that Joshua does better than Fury?
    Accuracy, combinations, power. Offensively Joshua is just better.

      Take anything Fury says with a pinch of salt.

      Joshua couldn't come close to stopping Parker, Ruiz, and the ref helped with Takam.

      Joshua obviously punches hard enough, but he doesn't carry that same lights out power that Wilder has.

        I’m picking Joshua when it goes down, I think a lot of people are neglecting Joshua’s boxing ability and variety of punches and different ranges. I agree that Fury is the favourite but that doesn’t automatically translate into a victory. Fury himself knows that’s a very difficult fight.

        I’ve seen a lot of Fury picks being based on the Wilder result which is laughable. Also being a harder puncher isn’t the be all and end all to stopping an opponent, you actually need the skill to deliver that power throughout the fight.

          It's easy to say that now. Why on earth didn't AJ and his team move hell and high water to get the Wilder fight then??????!!!!!!?????? Could've been undisputed...

            He might be accurate against flat footed bums like Andy Ruiz, but against a fleet footed Tyson Fury, nah.

            Whenever Joshua has faced a boxer with any kind of movement, AJ looked like s***

            This is the same man who got dominated and stopped 8 months ago against a fat midget nobody. We don't even know if AJ has anything left.

            He fought wide eyed and scared against Ruiz, and on the rare occasions Ruiz managed to close any distance, AJ shat himself and ran away.

            When he sees 6ft9 270 pound Fury in the flesh, his arse will drop, trust me.

              They did. Ya'll must have forgot. They also made massive offers to Fury. Ortiz and Whyte wanted to fight Wilder instead of Joshua too.

                Joshua has twice as many Twitter followers, and has more money... so he's OBVIOUSLY the better man haha

                  Not convinced by the KO. I don’t think he’d cause the same sort of sustained damage.

                  AJ is bigger and stronger than Wilder with solid fundamentals. I think it would be nip and tuck.

                  And a bit of a jab fest and rounds clinched by punctuating it with a right hand or jabs taken squarely.

                    Ruiz is a harder puncher and faster hands than Fury. Joshua fights better against taller fighters too.

                      Is he really though? His natural weight is how he came in against Ruiz the second time.

                      Joshua was all bulk, hence why he had no tank.
