Comments Thread For: Joshua: Fury, Wilder Would Not Be Biggest Names I've Fought or Best I've Challenged

[BirdSong]

this is why it's hard to support joshua, he's right up his own arse all the time, what a stoopid statement to make, he come's across all studious and righteous but he's really just a twat, he should have fought wilder and he know's it, wilder may be damaged goods now and joshua get's brave, damn

[Jack Rivers]

AJ being back to ****y again. He runs his lips about being humble and respecting other fighters and all this other PR crap, yet he is the exact opposite. Act what you preach.

Fury has had a longer career but out of the ring with health problems both mentally and physically. Yes, we can say by his own doing, or as experts say is not because mental health is not by choice.

Klitschko was embarrassed by Fury and he never really laid a hand on him. Fury toyed with him. On the other hand, AJ was dropped and had problems with Klitschko. Sure he stopped him, but he beat an older klitschko that was out of the ring for how long??? Plus AJ use to spar with him so that's already an advantage plus AJ fought Klitschko on his home turf. I give Fury the edge here.

AJ has ducked Wilder for years. There's no denying that. Fury went to the U.S. to fight Wilder twice and went to Germany to fight Klitschko. AJ has to stay home and has not proven he can deal with adversity fighting a fighter on their own soil... Don't bother with Saudi Arabia comments.... Neutral ground fighting an undisciplined fighter who got fat.

Resumes don't mean squat when you are fighting boxer's out of their prime. Wilder and Fury would have beaten those same fighters. Parker is overrated. I like him and he's a good guy but he doesn't have the killer instinct because he's such a good dude. Wilder and Fury would have had him out by the 7th.

AJ beat Povetkin who beat Whyte that was knocked out by both the same way... What's that tell you? Povetkin has been on the decline for many years and is old...yes still dangerous if you don't have defensive skills...

AJ talks about his record but it's really garbage. Who has he fought that was considered and equal opponent or better? You can say what you want about Wilders resume but he fought the best out there in Fury. That alone beats AJs crappy hand picked resume.

AJ isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Questionably , possibly but not unquestionably. He may be arguably the best all round boxer but there is an argument for Klitschko being the most decorated or Joshua beating Klitschko catapulted him to stardom. Fury is without doubt the most awkward but let’s not forget Fury fought Klitschko at 38/39 years old. Klitschko reigned for 10 years

The current prime Fury is better than past his prime Klitschko, but in terms of a caliber and legacy - Klitschko is at the top of the list and I'm not sure AJ will fight anyone of that statue, unless Fury reaches an ATG status.

I'm not arguing that Fury is more accomplished than Wlad all time, he isnt. I'm saying that Fury is obviously a better boxer than the verge of retirement version of Wlad that Joshua faced.

It seems boxers these days are saying something just because they have to say something and not because they have something to say. Its their version of staying relevant in an era of inactivity.

[BangEM]

They obviously aren't.

Wlad is the biggest name he has fought and he's bigger than Fury and Wilder combined.

[Mindgames]

Klitschko is a more threat to an AJ type, both power jabbers and Wlads ability to disguise lead right hands . Fury won’t be able to hurt AJ at least in the first half where the fight is going to be won by then .

Wlad is a bigger name then Fury because AJ was only in his 19th fight , Fury is going to get a better AJ and I’d be surprised if it sees past round 7 .

Fury himself is going to make the fight easier because AJ is made for more taller fighters since guys under 6”4 are not the norm anymore ,AJ easily will adapt to anything Fury brings . Klitschko will most likely be AJs best win looking down the road . It’s hard to see anyone else ranking over that win on his resume and at the time he did it which was 3 years ago.

Why shouldn't Fury be able to hurt AJ? Ruiz wasn't known as a big puncher, he hurt him. A one armed Whyte hurt him. AJ hasn't got an iron chin, and he doesn't just walk into guys because as he showed with Parker, he hasn't got the confidence in hes chin to take chances anymore. He didn't even sit down once for fear of being cracked by Ruiz. Fury would hurt him just fine.

He actually got the belts off Parker, Martin and beat Klitscho for the vacant WBA. He reclaimed them back off snickers if that helps you sleep at night

You mean Eddie bought those belts for him.

[Roberto Vasquez]

Fury is unquestionably better than anyone AJ has fought. I could see Wilder losing to at least one of Joshuas opponents though.

Yeah 100% agree. Fury has beaten Seferi, Pianeta, Schrwarz, Wallin and Wilder.

I'd like to see AJ match that!

[champion4ever]

Technically, he's right. The biggest name he has fought and the best he has ever challenged in his career has been Wladimir Klitschko.
