Comments Thread For: Dubois Backs Fury, But Would Not Be Surprised if Joshua Won

[Noelanthony]

I've never considered aj a great champ. He's a decent boxer with a great body backing his poor chin and average technique.

Fury is the best in class.

Why is AJ chin so poor .He has been hit on his chin by some heavy hitters. Who has cracked his chin and it’s shattered? Fury has been hit by cruiserweights and gone down but got back up so has AJ. Whyte has hit Josh on the button with his favourite left hook that usually floors people( Joseph Parker to name but a few) yet he took it. Don’t jump on this bandwagon that AJ can’t take a punch. Povetkin was cracking him on his chin.

Can't stand some AJ fanboys who still think Joshua is an unbeaten unbeatable wrecking ball. Will they bring the resume or the Wallin fight after Fury takes him to school?

And if Fury doesn’t take him to school what happens next? Well for me I will say I told you so. Fury has fought every dangerous opponent on his terms which is credit to him. He beat Klitschko but not really wanting to engage and being awkward. Klitschko threw maybe 20 punches in a 12 round fight. Gun shy is understatement and as for Wilder he can’t box, period. Fury has looked terrible against lesser opponents. However he is a rightful favourite I’m not denying that. I like Fury so I have no qualms coming on here and saying I got it wrong. It really isn’t that serious for me. Fury fans have a right to be confident. Wilder fans that have now converted and are now Fury fans I get it to. Peace

JOSHUA will disgrace Fury and all of you will come and bow before the great Black Race

Wouldn’t be surprised either. AJ has heavy hands and a good arsenal of punches. I still see Fury beating him to a lopsided decision.

No you don’t have to compare that way. That’s what you think so that it matches YOUR Agenda. If you wanted to compare, then compare HIS REIGN TO OTHER CHAMPS. When you do that, it’s very easy to realise that, he’s not a GREAT champion. Half decent. That’s it. Very easy. Next question.....

you make your list of crap champions and I'll make mine. It'll be quite a long list. Then we can see where Joshua stands against them. We can also compare best champions since 2000 and see where you put Joshua - he's better than average either way you jump.

I think if Fury goes forward, he gets beaten.

I think if Fury stats at range then he wins plenty of rounds but Joshua gets to him eventually. He's not fighting Wilder in this one - he's facing a guy who can actually box. Wilder caught him twice. Joshua will get to him more.

So I actually see Fury trying to be the boxer/puncher. Stay at range and then actually commit when comes in. That's exactly AJ's style too.

Could actually be a decent fight.

I like your preview better! Hope it's like that. The thing is neither have great chins but Fury has better recuperative abilities.

I guess in this case, we will have to agree to disagree then! Respectively!!

While Dubois has refused to discuss the exact details of the incident, several insiders reported that he dropped Joshua hard during a sparring session - which quickly ended their in-ring training scrap.

While others have used that story to enhance Dubois' reputation, he's refused to piggyback off that tale.

Lol so not true. Dubois is on Youtube saying that happened and Joshua says it never happened (Joshua does confirm the David Price knockdown happened) Every Dubois story I see it mentions the Joshua incident!

I think this is why Joshua was saying Dubois quit against Joyce. Because they have this bad blood between them. So Dubois picking Fury is no surprise.

[Roberto Vasquez]

I will be very surprised if Joshua wins, because he looks like Bruno 2.0 for me.

He is still probably the second best heavyweight, but this is not a very good era.

I think Fury should win but it's close for me. Fury hasn't really fought anyone top level outside an old Wlad and an unproven Wilder. Fury is an excellent self-promoter so he's build a lot on a little. He has still looked great in those fights but Wilder did still put him down heavily and he avoided the Wlad rematch. Also zero title defeneses compared to 9(?) from AJ. Fury has boxed longer than AJ too

Maybe AJ is Bruno 2.0 but an improved version of Bruno isn't a bad thing - he needed the improvements!

Who in their right mind thinks Joshua is unbeatable? He already got stopped by Ruiz.
