Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Believes He'll Stop Tyson Fury in Six Rounds

[Roberto Vasquez]

Wilder is faster than Fury and Joshua. AJ is deluded about his speed.

I think this is a 50/50 fight. AJ has been chasing the fight and Fury has been running up to now so makes me wonder about that sparring session they had when Aj was a novice..... Esp since AJ has 3 belts - why wouldn't you jump on that fight when you had zero Fury?

I didn't know he was a comedian among other things.

Joshua will be lucky to still be upright by this stage .I think Tyson will have him well on the way to a stoppage by six and have him stumbling around looking levels below Tyson.We all saw how a little fat bloke out jabbed and out fought Joshua and believe me Tyson is levels above the likes of Ruiz.

Fury couldn't even stop Pianeta. How is he going to stop Joshua? AJ's not a small HW like Wilder. People acting like Fury has become some kind of KO artist. He couldn't even legit stop Wilder.

Fury has beaten one top-20 HW in 5 years and now he can beat everyone in the top-10?? - even though he goes out of his way to fight boxers outside the top 20?? Makes sense...

"call it what you want, "

Alright I will. You are not better in any metric except maybe power. Your stamina sucks, your defense is among the worst of all the top heavy weights, you cannot fight on your back foot, you cannot really box you are more of a power puncher and brawler, you would not tower over Fury and out muscle/size him. You struggled with a 40 year old boxer so you are going to struggle even more against a younger boxer. I see no way possible for you to beat Fury. Since this will be a multi fight deal I think Fury will carry you the first fight to be able to sell the rematch then in the rematch he will Wilder you.

[ShoulderRoll]

I wouldn't bet on this happening. The Kronk version of Tyson Fury is a very dangerous man.

Roberto Vasquez has it well. Quote me here again, virtually all of the big boiz have avoided AJ base on his two sides in Klitschko, Parker and Ruiz II fights. AJ stops Fury within the distance. Only way is fury getting under AJ skin.

I think as good as he looked against Wlad, AJ lost hes confidence in hes chin that night. He didn't wade in against Parker for instance. He's lost even more confidence now due to Ruiz, who can punch but nobody saw him as a big puncher at the time. Joshua probably stands off abit too long against a taller more mobile Tyson, loses on points, and Eddie Hearn *****es about it until there's a rematch.

Both Fury and Joshua have been knocked down, and they both get back up 'Even vs Ruiz Junior Joshua got up and was smiling' neither of them have been ****** out violently like Whyte.

Fury marginally has the better punch resistance, and recovery powers 'That was one heck of a shot Kiltschko detonated on Joshua'.

Ruiz Junior made Joshua evaluate himself, because HE was really the first fighter who seemed 'To brush off his attacks, that has never happened to Joshua before etc' It has had a psychological effect on Joshua, that is why he fought him negatively.

[BirdSong]

i mean if he want all out attack and got the better of him then yeah maybe he could do it, but he would have to dominate fury physically to do that and beat him up along the way, problem is fury is a better boxer than joshua and may just tie him up and move etc like he can do

Doesn’t really matter that Wilder is slightly faster when it consists of only a 1-2 from across the ring. Aj is much faster with combo’s, much more diverse with his counter’s/offense, can fight outside and inside, and shown he can box with anyone. He hasn’t been outright outboxed by anyone. Wilder had been a few times, so it being magnified vs Fury shouldn;t have been any surprise.

AJ will always be hanging with Fury boxing wise, Fury has a slight advantage due to his length, but Joshua is a smart guy and can set things up too. Plus he has the power to take Fury out first, whereas Fury it’s more likely after Joshua has faded.

Who cares when Wilder’s speed consists of a 1-2 from across the ring? AJ definitely isn’t slow, and he’s shown he can box with anyone. He hasn’t been outright outboxed by anyone. Wilder had been a few times, so it being magnified vs Fury shouldn;t have been any surprise.

Both fighters will be hit, Fury's defense is good 'But not great enough to not get hit by Joshua'.

55/45 fight in favor of Fury as it stands now 'Joshua for me needs to STILL rebuild from the Ruiz Junior duels' Beating Ruiz Junior was part 1 of his rebuilding process, now? He needs to violently destroy Pulev, and build back the momentum etc
