Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: Easiest Opponent For Me is Joshua, Tailor-Made For Me

[KingGilgamesh]

Eugh.

I actually wouldn't be shocked if the undisputed fight doesn't involve either of them. I dont trust Fury to be consistent and I will always and forever believe Joshua is akin (and slightly better) than the likes of Bruno and Dubois. Decent fundamentals but ultimately mediocre. Another dull, upright European style fighter who crumbles to the first Mexican/American with a bit of skill, grit or flair. I think his matchmaking is akin to that too. I actually feel the more interesting prospects are going to end up blowing it wide open. Even as a Brit, I have learned to mistrust fighters we often overhype. Other than Fury (and Lewis if you count him) very few end up actually delivering.

Just as good of a chance Wilder lands on that week chin of AJ and it’s over.

If a morbidly obese midget armed Ruiz could knock Joshua into a concussion, then what would Wilders right hand do to him?

Joshua isn't slick enough to evade Wilders heavy artillery, and that coupled with his glass jaw only spells one thing.

Timberrrrrrr

If AJ and Wilder would have fought before Ruiz (when Wilder was quacking for dear life), AJ would have done the same as Fury but worse; go straight forward and put it on him. Lay him out like a carpet. Post-Ruiz? Wilder has shown time and time again that he can't deal with any type of lateral movement and struggles bad against anybody with a half decent boxing ability. Gerald Washington was outboxing him with ease for shít sake AJ could use the lateral movement he employed against Ruiz and turn spaghetti legs into jelly legs with the first punch landed.

Wilder's jaw is more suspect than AJ's. Everybody that has hurt AJ have been proven punchers (besides Ruiz, who, let's have it right, simply caught him in a place that most boxers would struggle to recover from). Whereas Wilder was dropped hard by a cruiserweight, hurt bad by Eric fúcking Molina (), was out on his feet in the last round against a Fury who was still in recovery mode and probably at 50% power, and I'm sure there's somebody else of little significance that shook Wilder (I could be wrong).

As for Wilder's power, it's somewhat overrated. If he doesn't land on a sweet spot then it bounces off his opponents. He loads up with almost every right hand he throws and hopes for the best. It's basically a numbers game; throw a bob load of power punches and one will eventually land in the right spot. Look at how many flush right hands he landed on Molina before he found the right one. He tagged Fury quite a few times in their first fight, yet only two/three did the trick. He tagged him a few times in the rematch, and nothing. If Wilder truly had such phenomenal power, every punch he lands would do damage. But they don't.

Wilder has never faced a true power puncher (Ortiz is debatable). He'd taste AJ's power, start back peddling before taking a powerful combination...and that'll do pig, that'll do.

What success did Wilder have? Ok he knocked down a 50% fit Fury a couple of times, a Fury that had recently lost 10 stone and beat a drug and alcohol addiction, when a 100% Fury turned up, we all saw what happened.

Wallin had a bit of success, but he still lost pretty much every round to a Fury who was weight drained and fighting with one eye, and we all know Fury struggles to motivate himself against lesser names.

Fury views Joshua as his legacy fight and will be 100% fit and ready, and in boxing terms, Joshua does nothing better than Fury, other than perhaps punches slightly harder.

Fury is naturally the bigger man with a superior chin, heart, footwork and boxing skills.

If AJ bulks up, he gasses out after a few rounds like he always does, if he comes in his natural weight like last time, Fury will physically bully him.

I don't see how AJ wins other than by landing a hail mary.

So Fury was weight drained vs Wallin... at HW ? Cool story bro

[The D3vil]

He's right.

AJ won't even knock Fury down & probably will lose a UD or wide-looking SD

[1hourRun]

Come on lads, let's make this happen!

I'll fight 1hourRun on the undercard.

denium, I'll end up fading you after petero /Peter Fury finishes training me!

Tyson Fury doesn't want to fight anymore, check this out. He got nothing to prove as he won every belt that was available: -

He still has 2 more fights left under ESPN deal though. Hope AJ fight is squeezed in here. But what if the mediation is in Wilder's favour? Interesting!

It's well documented that Tyson lost too much weight for the Wallin fight and was left feeling drained.

It's one of the reasons why he left Ben Davison and moved to Kronk straight after the fight.

One fact is Fury never defended and title. 2ndly every big win of Tyson Fury there is this cheat hanging on his head. You Gipsy bandwagon never had nothing to say about Glove issue with tremendous evidences. If AJ had any of those, u guy have finished him off b4 lacing his boot ever again. One last fact is Fury never signed to fight AJ because he's still looking for best cheating tactics. That's a fact.

[Dle]

Joshua would definitely be easy for fury. Fury does set a lot of traps especially with those hurky-jerky feints. Fury’s good but he really needs to lose those gay shorts

What cheating was "hanging on his head" for the Klitschko win? A failed test for coke? Lol irrelevant. What cheating was "hanging on his head" after he convincingly outboxed Wilder with ease but was robbed of the win with a draw? Don't say the gloves, that only came about after the second fight (very convenient). What cheating was "hanging on his head" after embarrassing Wilder in dominant fashion in the rematch? Gloves? No padding? Or is it the gloves were loose? Or is it there was a foreign object in the gloves? Or is it Wilder's water was spiked? Or is it that the referee had been paid off and was drunk? Or is it that Breland was influenced by Team Kronk to throw the towel in? It's hard to keep track of all the batshít nonsense

There's no evidence of cheating against Wilder. None. You say there's a few still images that show the gloves looking dodgy? I say there's hundreds, if not thousands of still images that show his gloves looking normal. You say there's four or five seconds of video footage showing the gloves looking dodgy? I say there's around 53 minutes of video footage showing the gloves behaving normal. The most solid evidence of no cheating occurring is the athletic commission. They checked the gloves, multiple times, including immediately after the fight. No anomalies found. And THAT, is a fact. Case closed.
