Again.....

Wilder knows this already just securing a nice payday before his career ends.

AJ is a late starter in boxing like Wilder was. Although they did well as an amateur and pro, they still lack that real IQ that you get from doing it from a young age, and that’s why they can’t really see what fury can do.

Joshua’s team better be able to drill it into him just how many good attributes Fury has and what to look out for, otherwise he’s going to be in for a rude awakening from the opening bell.

Sadly, I think AJ takes cues from Eddie Hearns, who likes to slander fighters who aren't signed to Matchroom. If Massa Eddie says Fury is light-punching and always on the back foot, then it must be true! And AJ's team are a bunch of yes men. I truly believe they will go into the fight (assuming AJ/Hearn aren't just all talk, again) with a bunch of assumptions about the Gypsy King. "AJ can work off the jab and use his strength to walk Fury down doe!" It is going to be a massacre, if it ever happens.

Judging from their most recent fights and a simple eye test, Fury clearly appears to be the number 1 fighter. However fights are won on paper, and I somewhat get AJ’s point in that Fury has been put on an untouchable pedestal with only two championship level victories, having had a longer pro career, and took 8 years to get to Klitschko.

On the other hand, AJ fought Klitschko with only 4 years’ pro experience and a shorter amateur career than Fury, and has solely fought championship level fights since with far less time to develop. Consequently in his own view, he has been in the deep end more than Fury and I’d tend to agree.

Even more so because I was never sold on Wilder in the first place. His general opposition level to date was so dreadful, yet he still managed to consistently lose rounds until he was bailed out with the singular punch in his arsenal. At this stage, I’m really doubtful a rematch victory over Wilder would prove anything more.

If Fury was to convincingly beat AJ however, then perhaps I’ll jump on the Fury bandwagon like everyone else!

You forgot to mention Fury beat Klits. A year and a half before AJ. Won the fight way more convincingly and didn't fight at in 2016...Before AJ.

16 months off is a long time

Great points. And if AJ thinks its gonna be that easy he's gonna have another loss.

AJ clearly has little boxing IQ, however I rate Rob McCracken and I think that he will devise a suitable game plan. However Fury has incredible ring IQ and I'm confident that he will be able to adapt to anything AJ does in there.

As long as Fury turns up fit and motivated, he wins any way he wants to. If he's not, the fight becomes more even, however I'd back a 75% Fury to beat AJ anyway.

I agree with that. Rob McCracken is a respectable coach, look how far he got that limited slugger Carl Froach! But alas, Froach was made of harder stuff than AJ. If AJ can mentally fold and lose the gameplan when fatlad Ruiz starts hitting him back, what is gonna happen when he can't get out the way of Fury's concussive, non-stop barrages?

You have to favour Fury going in, but I also wouldnt be too surprised if it turned out that we severely overrated Fury and severely underrated Joshua. Fury is not untouchable, hes had his fair share of ****ty performances in the past, and for all we know Wilder could actually be a lot more of a paper tiger than anyone realized and flattered Fury big time, its not like he (Wilder) has been fighting lots of top 5-10 level opponents for us to gauge his quality relative to the rest of the division.

[Citizen Koba]

Fury's lived up to his words so far and odds have to favour him beating Wilder convincingly again. Not quite convinced we'll see a demolishion job on Joshua, I'd most likely predict a fight more similar to the Klitschko bout ending in a fairly comfortable UD.

If Fury gets past Wilder then it's a must that he fights his mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte next. So says the WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman.
