Comments Thread For: Malignaggi Strongly Backs Fury To Defeat Joshua, Explains Why

[4truth]

Typo: I was gonna say “in person”.

Even apart from how fluid he puts his shots together in person - the guy is huge. That alone would rattle a lot of boxers. You look at the first Ruiz fight, despite the fact that he wasn’t right before the fight - Ruiz was very scared to engage at the beginning until he was in survival mode and Josh walked in on that perfect left hook to the temple that rattled his brain.

Fury won’t go there trying to do to Wilder unless he wants the fight to end pretty quick with arse on the floor. He’s going to be moving around, running from left hooks and right hands. And he won’t be hugging with that bushyard tactics with his chin up in the air for uppercut.

Anyway, I picked Fury to stop Wilder and he did. But I’ve never been high on Fury and I’m still not high on him. I can pick 3 current heavies that would beat him soundly on his best night. His trash talk won’t work on them and they’ll go in there left hook him to death.

Ruiz was never scared to engage nor was he ever in survival mode. Where do come up with this nonsense from?

Though he did completely throw caution to the wind after he took Joshua's power and found it unimpressive. Caution and scared are not the same thing, not at all. Even in the first round it was Ruiz coming forward and Joshua flicking his jab and giving ground. Of the 2, Joshua was always the more cautious.

Paulie knows what’s up. Anyone who picks Joshua is either a fanboy or doesn’t understand boxing. There is nothing to suggest AJ would win.

Joshua punches more accurately and harder than Steve Cunningham. Maybe not a suggestion that AJ would win, but there are reasons to think he could win. Fury is talented, but far from unbeatable.

Have to disagree with Paulie this time. Joshua will knock Fury out with that lucky punch from the Gods. Yea, he'll knock that Gypsy out with a pitch-perfect uppercut from the Gods, just like he did to Klit.

Stopped him standing you groupie.

Ruiz had Joshua on the backfoot from the opening bell.

When you’re as big as that, you’re going to look stiff via camera, especially if you’re compact and not rangy. In person, it’s a different thing.

Fury is actually very clumsy and not as smooth throwing punches like AJ. I also don’t think his ring IQ is as high as proclaimed. He gets lost most of the time hence he’s been in a lot of close fights against bums. If Wallin for example had been a puncher and was more skilled - he would’ve made Fury quit with those deep cuts. But people always want to say it was because Fury didn’t get up for the fight and not to point to his obvious flaws. Fury is just lucky he has been matched with bums apart from one decent boxer who wasn’t motivated and an overrated bum.

Josh’s biggest flaw is his lack of patience and jumping in when he hurts his opponents. Take that out and he’d be as clean as a whistle. He sets up his punches and throws them with more fluidity than Fury. He’s faster than Fury. He’s better than Fury at midrange and on the inside. Has more power than Fury and he’s also stronger. If Fury keeps it long and fight dirty, he might win (I doubt it). But he would have to pray the scar tissue withstand all the lead hooks, hooks and stiff jabs that would land clean on that eye.

I’ve played every scenario and I see Fury getting sparked or stopped.

Get off Joshua dck..... Lol. The way u talking he should have never lost to Ruiz.

Lets be real Joshua almost got knocked tf about an older version of Vlad that Fury dominated

Fury KO 30 seconds AJ

[Jkp]

AJ is 6”6 he’s not a midget and has skills . Wilder made Fury look like Rid**** Bowe as far as offensive goes but it’s not the same fight . AJ likes the close quarters and won be so easily man handled , I see AJ defeating Fury if it happens as a solid giant athletic fighter himself with more concussive abilities where counter puncher is going to come in here .

Aj not a midget, but he got beat badly by one.
