    What is your opinion on the Fury, AJ and Wilder triangle?

    Who is the best, who beats who? Etc.

    In my opinion the order #1 Fury (clearly), #2 AJ and #3 Wilder.

    Having said that, I think Fury-AJ would be a lot more of a chess match, although I could see Fury catching up to him and getting the stoppage. At the same time, if AJ could hurt Tyson like Wilder did, I think AJ has the tools to finish the job. We saw Tyson can be caught in the first Wilder fight, but there's no telling if AJ could land like that... an intriguing match up but just feel that Fury all around is a better fighter.

    AJ-Wilder, I feel that AJ does a couple of things marginally better than Fury; more power, better finisher. But he also doesn't have nowhere near the boxing skills of Fury, would not be able to get out of the way quite like Tyson can. I guess the question there would be if AJ can show his power early and have Wilder on the back foot from early, could see him unloading barrages and getting the stoppage. On the flipside if Wilder landed a hammer blow on AJ's chin, would he recover? Could he keep out of the way long enough to implement his own game plan. I feel this fight is close to a 50/50.

    I believe the Fury-Wilder matter is settled honestly. Wilder will always have that tiny chance of catching Tyson and making it interesting, otherwise Tyson is in a whole different universe to Deontay when it comes to all around boxing ability. Tis embarrassing to watch honestly.

    What is your opinion?

    My opinion is as follows.

    I must have watched too many Jerry Springer episodes because “triangle” means something else to me now and always will.

      what boxing skills does fury have? the rabbit punching? slipping to one side. 300 step feints before throwing a flick jab?

        Would love to see these 3 on a Jerry Springer stage to be honest. Imagine the shots of Eddie Hearns screaming from backstage...

          Study boxing bro, Fury is a master at this. Not only does he pass the eye test, but anyone who's anyone in Boxing only has good things to say about seeing Fury up close. The man is the real deal, don't let bias rule your head.

            Fury beats both



            I'm Not sure about AJ vs Wilder. I think I lean towards Wilder because of his power

              Fury is a level or two above he can adjust and adapt on the fly. Because he's podgy his physical strength gets very underlooked.

              AJ is more skilled than Wilder but I reckon Wilder would catch him eventually. He maybe more skilled but he isn't exactly savvy or a great strategist.
              I don't think he has the chin, defense or reflexes to avoid or take that right hand. It'd just look like almost every other Wilder fight where he gets outboxed and suddenly lands and that's that. AJ will zip in and out in amateurish fashion and look good but hold his feet too long at some point and get bombed out. I have no faith he can take that right hand unlike Fury he doesn't recover well at all when buzzed. He takes literally 3-4 rounds or so to shake it off.

              I think AJs best chance has gone. The younger more aggressive AJ that let his hands go in combination likely had a good chance of overwhelming him early but not this cautious more patient and safety first version that'll stand off.

                  There is no triangle, when Fury finishes him again, Wilder will be out of the picture.

                    The first sensible post you have ever made OP. Keep it up. Denium Lewandoski needs to follow your lead.

                    But I don’t think Wilder belongs up there. He hasn’t beat any top level boxer and the first he faced one, in full, he was destroyed. I’ll replace him with Dillian Whyte because he beat Parker. Or Ruiz based on his performance against AJ and Parker.
