    Big Joshua fan, and agreed, Fury beats him with relative ease.

      I heavily favor Fury myself, but I'd hesitate to call it a mismatch just cuz its #1 vs #2. 1 vs 2 never really feels like a mismatch to me even if I'd 100% call it as much if it was #1 vs #7 or the #4 guy fighting a un-indie ranked guy that I had a similar take on.

        Why do you think that?

          Wilder/Fury II was #1 vs #2 lol So was Usyk/Gassiev

              Joshua is impressive when he let's his hands go. I have no idea what he was waiting for in the fight today. Everything was landing especially the uppercuts and he just stood there looking at Pulev from round 4 until the KO. He should have finished the fight in round 4 imo.

              Fury is definitely the favourite going into the fight but Joshua is dangerous. He is going to have to be a lot more active to beat Fury.

                Fury wants the fight.

                AJ and Hearn want to squeeze out another payday before Fury ends him.

                  Fury has a difficult style for anyone to deal with combined with a significant size advantage but the reality is that Fury only fought one decent fighter in the last 5 years since he fought Klitschko. That fighter was Wilder twice. In the second fight Wilder was clearly having an off night from the get go so I don't know how much we can take from that win. The way I see it is that both AJ and Fury will be stepping up levels when they face each other.

                    I didn't see those fights as mismatches either & those actually seem more competitive then Fury vs AJ to me looking back on how I felt about them pre-fight & how I feel about Fury vs AJ currently.

                    Hell cats are retroactively acting like they thought Fury was a mortal lock to win despite it being a virtual pick em since the odds were posted.

                      Joshua definitely has a plan A & B, he can box and move and he can stand and trade and he seems he is edging to a plan C with a hybrid of A & B.

                      Fury has only shown us his Kronk style once, his whole career was the loose gypsy style, which was boring to watch.

                      Can Fury fight the Kronk way against better fighters ( Wilder is garbage)
