Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua KOs Pulev With The Weight Of A Fury Bout On His Shoulders

[PRINCEKOOL]

Hahaha. I can tell you right now. That the Tyson who fought Cunningham was a binge drinking, takeaway eating Stay at home dad. He barely trained at all. Still Knocked Cunningham out of his BOOTS.

The hardest hitting heavyweight of all time connected with the best shots he will ever throw in his career, and a 40% version of the Gipsy king Got up.

Joshua gets dropped by old shot inactive fighters. And unmotivated fat boys. Enough said.

Wladimir Kiltschko was 240 pounds, and had 3 back to back training camps before Anthony Joshua 'That was the Kiltschko who was coming for Fury in the rematch'.

Fury in my opinion was spooked during the entire build up to the rematch 'Because for the first time at elite level? He was the favorite, Robin Hood the Prince of thieves was now living his worst nightmare'.

Tyson Fury is the favorite and does have the momentum up against Anthony Joshua 'But I want to see how he deals with being a favorite at elite level'. Tyson Fury has always been the underdog, and sometimes it is easier to be a underdog 'Nobody expects you to win'.

I hear you, and though I strongly disagree, you 100% raised Questions that DO need to be answered. And now you’ve got me thinking, I’m excited to see how he deals with that.

Obviously I’ll believe it will make no different to him, only because he’s so ELITE mentally. One thing I can also say with Certainty is that, in Tyson’s mind he’s always the favourite and that Press conferences etc, it may come across brash, but he’s been honest. Not one bit of it is lies.

Anyhow. Like I say, you’re post was a good one in my opinion. And it will be interesting. I don’t think anything like Joshua will get in the ring and have NO CHANCE at all. That’s ridiculous. I just think over the course of the fight, fury will impose himself more.

We all know the punches missed takes it out of guys. Fury great at defence. Joshua ATM Seems caught between two different styles, you can see he’s only Just started scratching the surface, i was shocked when I heard his trainer say “we do 2 boxing lessons a day now” Because he sounded buzzing, like they never did before. So maybe when josh says they better having me sooner than later, could possibly turn out to be true. Intriguing nonetheless.

I just can’t help myself and wind up certain Joshua Fan boys!! But I need to stop stooping to such Levels myself personally!!

He was not spooked when he fought in the rematch against Wilder though. He was the favorite in that fight and he showed why. Wlad was still coming off a long lay off and going through marital problems and child custody issues. At 40 years old it is not as easy to get back into it and I am betting his mindset was not all their either.

You fail to mention that he also took the hardest shots from the hardest hitter in all of boxing and got up like he forgot to turn off the stove. Fury's defense when he is 100% is the best in the HW division easy. He has the stamina and IQ to beat Joshua. My biggest gripe with Joshua has always been his defense. When he gets stunned he does not know what to do he just freezes.

If you see my other posts, I clearly havent forgotten any of that.

He was not the favorite against Wilder in the rematch, most of his hardcore supporters were completely petrified for him. The large majority of the British boxing media was also terrified for Tyson Fury, and the prospect of him being sparked out badly 'It was only really his family who where backing him with serious force etc'.

Look at the way Tyson Fury and his team celebrated in the ring after the fight? You only celebrate like that, when you are relieved 'I witnessed Fury's hardcore fans on these very forums, totally afraid going into that fight'.

Note: When the fight with Joshua and Fury draws closer, I can envision more Fury fans 'Saying nice things about Joshua, you watch how they will start to build him up' etc I am neutral on both fighters, so this is why I can observe these things objectively.

You are basing his underdog status by what people online say? I was basing it off of what the bookies and the casino's were doing. Most of the articles I found all had it a basic toss up. Meaning there was no clear cut underdog or favorite. So going into that fight Tyson was not the clear underdog.

Goes to show you how much the British media knows about boxing eh? Goes to show you how much the online fan base knows about boxing eh? It was clear to anyone who studied the first fight that Tyson Fury had all the goods necessary to dominate Wilder in the rematch.

Tyson Fury was not the favorite mate, he has never been favorite in a big fight at elite level.

Thanks for regurgitating what I wrote. You were claiming he was the underdog and that everyone was saying he was the underdog and that only his family was thinking otherwise. I looked up and read numerous articles as well at all the vegas adds and they all had the fight a toss up. Some Vegas casinos had Fury as the favorite. I had Fury as the clear favorite. I do not care what you personally had him as. You made it clear the British media had him the clear underdog and I pointed out how wrong they were.

Tyson Fury was the underdog mate, I cannot be bothered debating.

According to who? I can provide links to numerous articles that all said it was basically a pick-em fight meaning it was 50/50 with no clear favorite.
