Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: I Still Favor Tyson Fury To Beat Anthony Joshua Easily

Who cares what that clown thinks

Any chips with that salt pal?

He’s right, Fury wins easily

Khan is in a difficult position though, He is being honest but now it looks like he is being bitter because big AJ piped his wife

Being honest doesn’t mean he is right. In any case it’s a known fact that Asians hate blacks. No I’m just kidding but after seeing Khan quit after being punched in the thigh by Crawford he shouldn’t say another word about boxing. Fury is definitely the favourite going against Joshua but all this cake walk and Joshua has zero chance is nonsense.

Wilder is a great puncher but a poor boxer. He was regularly outboxed by mediocre fighters until the equaliser saved the day. Fury is a better boxer than AJ but it is not as vast as Deontay and he definitely won’t be on the front foot like he was against Wilder

Khan's wife was an easy win.

Wilder - Fury has every one picking Wilder to smash Fury especially seeing Fury stink up against Otto Wallin...in HW, all it takes is one single punch at the right side of the head to displace one’s equilibrium or a lights out shot...Fury isn’t the best in my book because he beat an over hyped Wilder whom has fought mediocre fighters all his life doesn’t make him the best...he needs to clean out the division to be considered the best...that is why I love UFC....for example Izzy is considered a GOAT rightly so because he has beaten and cleaned out his division. Fury only beat a current champ just like how Holms defeated Rousey. My point is, Till Fury defends his belt multiple times against top fighters and not cherry picked fighters like walllin then he can be considered a great behind the Klitchko brothers.

I was going to have a large bet on Fury before I read this!

Well let's think about this, it is said that heavyweights of yesteryear were much more skillfull and nuanced, when Bruno been mcall he was coming in off the back of two wins over ATGs lewis and holmes and then beat the unbeaten Oleg maskaev straight after losing to Bruno. So some could claim that the mcall win is superior to anything on AJs resume, yes on quantity AJ has the better resume but klitschko was coming into the AJ fight off of a loss and retired straight after, he was old and wasn't a champion and that is AJs best win. just like dillian whyte has quantity over some other heavyweights with wins over fighters like rivas, chisora etc. It doesn't make him anything special when it comes to the elite. That is my argument for Fury being superior to AJ, he has much higher quality of wins regardless of joshuas quantity. But yeah as 2x and unified AJ has on paper achieved much more than Bruno and a better reign obviously wirh defences but, based on best win AJ still needs to face an active good fighter of his generation like a proven Dubois/hrgovic or fury/wilder

History can never take away Bruno's victory over McCall. He fought a hell of a fight. All credit to the man, who beat the man.

“If that same Fury goes into a fight with Anthony Joshua, it's always going to be Fury that wins that.”

I never understood this way of thinking for fight predictions.

I think Fury beats Joshua too, but it has to do with a lot more than just how Fury looked in one night versus one guy.

You can’t just say if “Fighter A goes into a fight with Fighter B looking like he did vs Fighter C, he will beat Fighter B easily.”

Or the good ol:

“If he fought the version of this fighter who beat that fighter...he wouldn’t have stood a chance!”

Boxing does not work that way at all and it’s disappointing to see that from a professional boxer who does it for a living and has extensive experience in the sport.

Would Terence Crawford have beaten the “version“ of Amir Khan that showed to fight Maidana? Or maybe the version that fought Prescott would have shown up? Or how about the Khan fought DSG? Or the Khan that fought Malignaggi maybe?

A fighter will look different based on who he fights. Can’t just mix and match. “If Hearns fought the version of Duran that beat SRL, he would have lost”...No, no he wouldn’t have. Styles make fights.

Just cause you got a high KO ratio doesn't make you the hardest hitter. Just easier opps. AJ probably hits way harder than Wilder and got way more skills and the better resume
