      I can't think of any. By the same token, I can't think of another champion as blatantly protected. But hey man, whatever floats your boat.

          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.
          LMAO. The fact that you said Josh isn't a good counter puncher negates whatever you want to argue about. You're obviously dumb and don't know anything about boxing.

          Josh is the best counter puncher in the division by a mile.

            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).
            He didn't adapt against Ruiz because his equilibrium was gone after the temple shot but he still boxed pretty solid on instinct for 4rds after that and won 1 or two rds.

            He adapted against Whyte, Wlad, and Povetkin.

            What boxer coming off a brutal loss in an immediate rematch doesn't fight scared? Lennox Lewis was even more scared against Oliver McCall and would've been knocked out if McCall hadn't be picked up from a mental home for the rematch.

            Don't start making excuses that Fury wasn't motivated when he gets sparked by Josh. Fury is tailor-made to be blasted by Josh and those cuts are gonna reopen with good hooks. Josh also hooks with his jab.

              You can't make threads like these when he gets testimonies like Bruce lee. Everyone who s pars with him say he's the best they've sparred against and they've sparred against josh, Wilder and everyone!say
              Plus he did it against wlad, and wilder. Of course furys critics want fury to do it against countless more opponents on wlad, Wilder level before they call him an ATG.
              But credit where credits due

                Fury will lose to AJ but that doesn’t mean he’s opportunistic you have to use what you do best . Fury has an 85/inch reach at 6”9 so he’s not going to have those crisp punches but he could improve on them , he’s used his size so long and has been winning all this time by just tagging opponents up until the Wilder fight in recent memory.


                Is he the most skilled ? Furys the best giant we’ve seen but I think that’s an illusion most has bought into but I think it’s AJ .

                  AJ sparred / fought Fury before and won, I don’t think hearsay matters at all when the two actually shared a ring if we are going to use sparring.

                    That's why against Parker he did nothing. That's why he got hit clean with a ton over hand rights against Povetkin. That's why Ruiz knocked him out. That's why he didnt fight Wilder.

                    Right?

                    Easy to be the best "counter puncher " when theres no one good at counter punching at HW.

                      On what planet is Joshua a more skilled fighter than Tyson Fury?

                      Joshua is a basic come forward in straight lines plodder with limited head movement. Fury's forgotten more about the sweet science than AJ will ever know.
