    I want to see a Foreman/Holyfield type of match up between these two. Get in the ring and give us the undisputed fight like those two did.

        Of course Fury get credit... Klitschko was undefeated for over 10 years when fury beat him. AJ is an opportunist would’ve never fought Klitschko if Fury didn’t beat him first.

          Yeah, maybe I was a little harsh with the 'preachy' comment. But I think his relationship with the fans would benefit from relaxing the PR a bit and not taking himself so seriously. Lighten up, crack a few jokes, not every line has to be a pearl of wisdom.
          I dunno but I think you will probably see a more open version of him when he's around or talking to people he's comfortable around. I think a lot of people in the British media are two-faced when it comes to Josh due to jealousy and he doesn't trust most of them. He doesn't even feel comfortable in most of those interviews.

          I believe the best interviews I've seen with are with Costello, Johnny Nelson and the lads that work with JD Sports. It's ironic how he's a funny happy go lucky geezer in person with a big smile on his face 24/7 but somehow turns to Socrates during interviews.

            True, I'm a nobody. But reflectively applying your own rubric, you have implicated yourself as a fool also. My comment about AJ is simply my observation after reading/watching a great many of AJ's interviews

            I am an idiot in many ways, yes. Just saying, in my opinion, there are 1-minute video clips of Fury that are more memorable and interesting than the entire back-catalogue of AJ's media output. Not too hard to understand. Oh did ****Mum get his ickle feelings hurt? Because somebody on the internet has a different viewpoint? Oh diddums
            The bipolar gypo has memorable interviews? You must have brain aneurysm because I can only wonder how hard it would be to find a man that contradicts himself every other day. And don't tell me you're laughing at a man suffering from mental health problems because that would make you a bigger prick than I initially thought. LMAO.

            Memorable quotes from Fury

            Fury in Feb 2020: I've got 2 fights left and I'll hang it up.

            Fury in May 2020: I've got a lot of fight in me and I'll fight till age 40.


            Definitely memorable and interesting to laugh at a mad man, isn't it?

              You don't know whether AJ would've fought him or not, now you're only speculating. What we do know is that Wlad was just a couple of months shy of turning 40 years old. No need to bring up age as a factor to discredit AJ's win when Fury fought an old man himself.

                AJ fought Klitschko when he was 41 years old coming off a lost to Fury where he looked old shot and couldn’t throw a punch and a 18 month layoff without a tuneup. Totally different circumstances than Fury.

                Based on Joshua history he wouldn’t have fought Klitschko while Wlad was on a run. AJ doesn’t fight anyone with positive momentum

                  So Wlad was old and shot when Fury beat him?

                    Hahaha hit the nail on the head. Still, could be a lot worse, could be a 'King' he turns into...

                      Yep. But at least Fury had the cojones to expose Klitschko when wlad was at the top his game. Nobody knew Klitschko was shot until fury beat him. Meanwhile AJ waited until it was confirmed Klitschko was shot 2 calendar years older and when 18 months without a tuneup.
