Fury v AJ is a mismatch

[OnlytheTruth]

He stopped wilder.. and was prolly on his way to ko him had the corner and ref not stepped in..

He beat klitchko before joshua and basically beat wilder every round except the 12th of their first fight.. so what are you talking about lol

Hes fought two of the 3 better heavyweights In the last what..? 10 years?


Well he was out of commission for a long while..

But yes his style is a nightmare. I like AJ a lot, he seems like a solid fighter but dude has no quit. Hes been willing to fight even after massive kds and fight well. I just dont see how he could handle a guy fury size with his skill level

Fury didn’t stop Wilder at all. His TKO is off the back of the towel being thrown in. It wasn’t an actual TKO stoppage.

AJ haters always want other fighters to duck him, says it all. Shook.

I think Fury beats AJ.

AJ can't box him like he did Ruiz. He also isn't tough enough to out brawl Fury either. Fury really has a dog in him and Ruiz showed the world that AJ can't take a punch.

So, it depends on how Fury shows up imo. I'm no fan of Fury either but he prefers to box and move. So AJ can't try to point fight him and if AJ tries to bring the power, Fury is a dog. He mauled Wilder in that second fight. Nothing short of a mauling. So, I can't see AJ beating him up in a phone booth either.

If AJ wins, fair enough. But my money would be on Fury in that fight.

Pulev is old and his last big win was in 2016 against Chisora. Being a mandatory means nothing in boxing. Ruiz made A.J gun shy. Of course he can knock out Fury if he hits him but he will have to mix it up and risk getting tagged. Fury by late stoppage or decision!

[MUNG]

i think fury wins but i think joshua will do quite well in the fight, he will bite down on his gumshield and give it a good go i would say

fury most likely makes it quite a tactical fight, much more so than the public will want to see, UD12 at the end with fury winning 8

Fury has bipolar though so deserves some sympathy.
forPersonally I want Fury for to win though as I prefer him as a person to Joshua.

I don't have any issue with your personal opinion, we are all entitled to it but saying fury is bipolar is just a way to created an excuse from running away from wlad rematch and never had a defence as a champ.
There is no assurance that fury will fight AJ despite clout chasing on IG.

I thought that Fury v AJ would go the same way as Fury v Wilder 2, but I'm not so sure of that now. I think Joshua has a lot more to his game than Wilder now, and as such I think he's got a better chance than Wilder. There are things that Joshua is better at - I think that Fury's size actually works against him when it comes to his punching technique - he can slug when he sits down on his punches, and he can flick with his jab, but there's not a great deal of snap on his shots and he's not really a very precise or fluid puncher. It's not really his fault, his arms are longer and heavier than most people's legs, but its still a fact that his handspeed and accuracy aren't all that impressive compared to the rest of his attributes. Joshua by contrast is more precise, varied, faster, heavier and fluid with his punches all around - Joshua's going to be very dangerous even for Fury if he can establish the right distance and work. I still think that Fury has the most advantages though and is right to be a heavy favourite, the mixture of size, reach, footwork and ring IQ that Fury has presents a mountain for Joshua to climb. Joshua needs a very good gameplan perfectly executed and probably a fair bit of luck if he's going to win if I'm being entirely honest.

I dont feel he ran away from the rematch though against Wladimir Kiltschko. Ive a feeling Fury would have beaten him in the 2nd fight. From what I read on Furys autobiography and other sources is after Fury had achieved all he set out to do that's when the problems started to occur. Hence becoming the champion after beating Wladimir Fury felt unfulfilled and went on a downward spiral. This is typical of bipolar that cause people to have massive highs and then lows .

I feel Fury has turned a corner now though and accredits his boxing training/children as a huge part to his recovery.

I think though Fury is no coward and will fight Johsua.

You can't know that for certain, we can only hope he takes the fight. He has a record of abandoning fights, hez about to do so with wilder 3. He won't just change over night because its AJ.

I dont know all the ins and outs of Fury running from fights as I came to the fight game late after being a massive football fan as a child/youth. But Fury early on his career had people ducking him due to his size/ability.

Most fight fans me included dont want to see Fury/Wilder 3 at this moment. I feel though Fury wants it against Anthony Joshua. The money/legacy. Look at the way he came back from that knockdown against Wilder in the first fight. He had "cojones " as they say in Spanish.
