Tyson Fury is an overrated awkward boxer who's opportunistic

[Cobra Curry]

AJ is a terrible style for Fury and he'll stop Fury easily. The fight might end up being one of the easiest fights of AJ's career if Fury ever comes forward like he did in Fury/Wilder 2.

Don't you think Fury would attempt to keep it long against Joshua? How do you see the fight unfolding in that scenario?

[Cobra Curry]

Wilder is a novice level fighter? No he's not lol. He was a 5yr unbeaten champion.

From a technical standpoint yes, he quite clearly is.
His 5 year reign contained four true contests against two opponents. He struggled badly in all of them.

Take nothing away from Fury, he's at the top of the division for the second time and all credit to him but let's not pretend that Wilder was some legendary champion.

[Marchegiano]

I think I might join team Joshua actually.


I don't feel that way about Fury, tbh, but, now that Wilder has an L and Joshua has an L, kinda feel like it's Fury's time. If Fury's going to pick up an L Joshua's probably the man to do that.

I don't think he'll try to bully Josh like he did Wilder. He and his handlers know Josh is stronger than him and I expect Josh to come in at around 245.

He'll most likely employ the same tactics as he did when fought Wlad. But the only problem is that Josh is more active than Wlad. And even against Ruiz, he was very active with his jab, left hooks and occasional right hand. On the inside, Josh loves throwing short hooks with both hands and uppercut. So expect Fury's cuts to reopen in that fight and that will make it more interesting.

[R-Hand Southpaw]

I don't think he has the tools to even trouble Josh that much. Even against Wilder on the 22nd, he was open all night to overhand right and left hooks. A good counter puncher, which Josh is, would've punished him and reopened those cuts and probably stop him.

Lmao. Joshua is NOT a good counter puncher. Good counter punchers are great at spacing. Is Joshua? No. That's how he got caught. Most the time hes either too far or too close.

Its pretty funny how you suggest that Fury is weak to over hand rights and that's not true in the slightest. Fury has long arms and literally jab/frames you with them. An overhand right will never reach when he has his arm on you and frames off.

On the other hand you know who is vulnerable to an overhand right? Joshua with that weak ass jab hes been using.

To top that off dude is pretty mentally weak and cant fight any other way than hes been drilled to. Hes not going to out jab Fury and dude got real PTSD when it comes to trading in close range.

Plus how is he at 237 lbs, 6 lbs heavier than Wilder gonna stop Fury from laying in him? We all know he has piss poor stamina.

How many other novices held world championship belts for 5 years? I'm curious?

I have never seen a boxer who has boxed all his life throw ugly/clumsy combinations like Fury, yet some idiots think this guy is the most skilled tosser on the planet.

The bubble will get pierced when he gets flattened by AJ. LMAO.

I said the same thing about Wilder and the truth is now out for all to see.

We'll see what happens when and if they fight. I will certainly not count Joshua out but Fury has a better chance.

Joshua did not adapt mid-fight to Ruiz but Fury adapted pretty good to both Wladimir (the technical boxer) and Wilder (the puncher). Klitschko caught and dropped Joshua but never came close to doing so against Fury. Also, Fury can take a punch and I find him mentally stronger than Joshua. Fury got hit and dropped twice but came back in the rematch willing to trade and fight in the middle of the ring. Joshua got dropped and fought a scared fighter.

That does not necessarily mean that Fury wins. But, the odds favor Fury at this point in time (assuming he comes motivated).

[Weebler I]

I think Fury would fight Joshua like he fought Wilder in the first fight, and probably shut him out.

I like both fighters but the stylistic match-up surely favours Fury who is the more mobile backfoot boxer.

[deathofaclown]

Why? Fury just destroyed the 2nd best fighter in the division, AJ got dominated & knocked out by an unranked fat blob 8 months ago, and fought & ran like a scared lil girl in the rematch

The gap is wider, not closer.

Exactly

AJ’s lack of ring IQ got him whooped by an obese unranked mess

People act like the rematch was a master class. Any semi decent heavyweight should be able run away from Ruiz all night. The guy is really about 5’11, has tiny T-Rex arms and is clinically obese. Especially the version that showed up for the rematch.

The few times Ruiz got close, AJ crapped himself

AJ is fragile. The next fighter that puts it on AJ is going to win

Oh like he did against the fat slob right?
