Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua: Who Ya Got?

[KTFOKING]

I ran a poll after Spence/Garcia for a future match up of Spence/Crawford, and it was fairly close until the end where Crawford started getting a decent amount of the votes....So how about Joshua vs Fury after we just got done seeing Joshua get rid of Pulev in 9?

I think Joshua is live, but will go with Fury via decision.

I know I'm in the minority but I like Joshua in this match cause styles make fights. I think Joshuas biggest weaknesses are his defense, chin, and recovery time but the thing is Fury doesn't hit that hard.

The mauling and holding that Fury did vs Wilder wont work on Joshua because 1)AJ is much stronger than Wilder 2)Is much better fighting on the inside than Joshua.

I expect AJ to fight well on the inside and use his great uppercut to stop Fury late. Of course, Fury can outbox him or even stop him but lean towards AJ. Id say 55% chance Joshua beats him.

Easy Fury wins no doubt about it.

Fury. It's not a fight that's impossible for Joshua to win but I'd like his chances more if he'd have put together a few more wins since the Ruiz fights.

Fury. All round better fighter.

No denying that Fury is a phenominal boxer but he hasn't had to face someone like Joshua since Klitschko. Wilder was a threat but only with his power. Joshua has that power too but he can also box.

Fury had to produce a great individual performance to win in Germany but I think that Klitschko should have done his part more and actually thrown his hands. I think Klit would have won the rematch, if it had gone ahead.

No doubt that Joshua is the underdog here but when people talk about Joshua being chinny or whatever, Fury has been down against much technically worse and much smaller fighters. The time between matches and Joshua likely getting some confidence from the Pulev KO means I'm going for a Joshua win by TKO, 7 or 8.

I pick Fury by decision.


But AJ is a good fighter and has a chance of course. Plus these are huge guys, anything can happen.

I'm with you that this is a closer fight than most think. Joshua may need to risk it more like he did in the past though. If he just tries to out jab Fury and occasionally land the right hand, he will be too predictable. But Fury had 50 pounds on Wilder, he won't have that against Joshua. Can't wait for this fight!
