Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua on Tyson Fury Fight: 'I Promise You It's Happening'

[Bain01D]

Fury could sell 80k at Wembley now versus a good opponent; Joshua had klitschko remember. That said AJ could sell 80k vs anyone now and remains a bigger draw for sure. Had fury lost a fight he wouldn’t have been able to come back and get a £50m payout for a rematch ...

It’s built on style, character and level of opponents, joshua has consistently fought the best, has the capability to KO anyone (fury is capable but much less likely) and AJ’s approach is seen as refreshing.

It isn’t like by all boxing hardcores but is by the public at a whole and you need to crossover to the wider public to become a huge star.

Fury likes to approach things differently, he knew he wouldn’t win sports personality of the year for example so tried to pretend he doesn’t want to be nominated (and lose) so he claim he only lost because he told people not to vote; that doesn’t help his wider appeal and is too short-term thinking

Yeah, agree with the right partner he could, maybe Wilder or others but not against Takam etc (although think that was Cardiff)

I think Fury is a bit more old school fighting man and isn’t bothered about his cross over appeal, commercials etc so will never really be as big a draw as AJ I don’t think, doesn’t bring in the casuals

Where have you been? He’s been on 3 different tv programmes. Made videos and took a pic with Hearn and Joshua on his shirt saying “You Big Dossers” ? Are you living under a rock? Lmfao. Obviously somebody doesn’t have much internet. I guess you surfing on you’re local libraries WiFi.

Matchroom casuals for you pal.

NOTHING I like better than name calling. It shows how emotions guide an argument, not facts.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you liked the clinch a minute, inactivity of Fury's win over Klitschko more than then throwdown between Joshua and Klitschko, more power to you. I stated in my post it was a CLEAR WIN for Fury. Never debated it. But by zeroing in on one fight and trying to belittle what I wrote by going to little child insults, you show you cannot actually argue the entire point of the post I wrote no matter how hard you try to change the subject.

Tyson Fury has 2 fights against Wilder and the win over Klitschko propping up a resume of complete club level fighters that will amount to nothing in boxing and will never fight in any other meaningful bouts in their careers. Joshua has fought multiple top 10 contenders and top HW fighters in the same amount of time. I compared resumes to point out that there is no real comparison. If Joshua/Fury does not happen, I do not believe it will be because of Joshua because his past indicates he actually fights.

By the way, the "sucking the thumb" thing was real lame. If you are going to toss personal insults, try harder. I will give you props if you do something original, but that was just weak.

I never made no real effort to insult you. Nor did I have any interest in the whole post. I made that clear bro, I told you “I’ve only read this part”
I also said IF you would prefer that win, THEN You are a melon headed dosser, you’re the one who decided the shoe fits!!


But I deffo agree about beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So i respect you and you’re opinion. I guess we will see when or if Aj gets in ring with fury. But you cannot know too much about boxing.

AJ is desperate to proof the doubters wrong, he's desperate to proof that he's the better fighter. He's eager to become undisputed champion, that's he's been going after all belt holders. That's what the mindset of a elite fighter supposed to be instead of building a fake record by fighting journeymen.

The undisputed heavyweight champion could been known by now if Wilder had the balls to face AJ two years ago.

AJ protectors just can't keep Wilder's name out their mouth LOL fact is Fury and AJ are going to lose in 2021

...and there is the personal jab. What I know about boxing is apparent in the entire post you admit you did not read. I spent time looking at the entire recent careers of 2 respected boxers and their performances in those fights. You made it as far as one opinion, preceded to be mature enough to drop melon head dosser, that I suck my thumb, then say you took no pot shots at me personally.

ILOVE opinions. It is why I post here. I am interested in what people see I do not. It helps me see all the little things in boxing I never noticed before. Just leave the grade school stuff out if it. Disagree away. Tell me i am wrong and why. I enjoy the back and forth. But this website can play to the worst of people, and that is lazy.

Not debating who ducked who in the whole Joshua/Wilder saga. Enough blame to go around on that. If you say you have inside knowledge that Joshua was the main obstacle to that, I will buy that. No worries. I have been around long enough to respect your posts. I have done a complete 180 on Golovkin based on a ton of what you said, and I was a HUGE fan of Trip G.

But all I pointed out is using Wilder alone as proof that Joshua will duck Fury is a little spotty considering the depth and quality of each man's resume. Joshua has a way better track record than any other HW right now, and I find that non-debatable.
In the end, I am just hoping the fight gets made. I really do not have a dog in this fight, I just respect Joshua and his level of competition he has fought in this era. Fury is a fantastic fighter, I just think his entire legacy is built on 2 fighters names.

it was clearly obvious, but yup I got all the links/bookmarks

fair call, that does not automatically prove that AJ will avoid Fury, I agree

I just found it ridiculous that AJ fans were somehow insinuating that Fury would duck him

FACT: there is nothing to indicate that... they were projecting, badly

[aboutfkntime]

The way you respond just makes me feel like I'm talking to a 5 year old.

Truth in what? I simply that said that Tyson Fury has been (and here is the key word here) relatively quiet since the Pulev fight.

Ok, lets talk about making stuff up shall we?

"Fury has proven that he will take the biggest fights on multiple occasions" Oh has he now? 3 'big' fights out of 31. Totally proven.

"AJ still has ducking Wilder TWICE, hanging over his head" - you are the only clown pushing this. Wilder has already said he chose Fury over Joshua. Joshua hasn't ducked anyone. Its now actually a FACT that he never ducked Wilder. Its only you who thinks otherwise. Well, you and any other fucktards on here.

"the fanboys are twisting it, as usual" - I refer to the above statement. You proved me right, thanks.

FACT: those two opponents are better, and more dangerous, than anyone AJ selected

Klitschko was unbeaten for more than a decade, and Wilder was undefeated and regarded as the most dangerous heavyweight on the planet... not only did Fury take those fights, he won!

and the fact is, AJ avoided Wilder TWICE in 2018

" avoided " = could have taken that fight, but CHOSE not to

you can deny that if you wish... but that will put you at odds with me, and with the MANY insiders/fans who know exactly what happened

I still have all the links/bookmarks

it is FAR MORE LIKELY that AJ will avoid Fury, like he avoided Wilder... than Fury will avoid AJ

there is literally nothing to suggest that Fury would duck AJ, and that insinuation sounds super-fkn-lame coming from shlthead fans of the guy who ducked Wilder... like is happening in this thread LMAO

hey, shlthead...

did you just insist that you owned me in this thread, and then quickly put me on ignore so I could not respond?

sounds legit

I didn’t put you on ignore, don’t flatter yourself.

Let’s see how many facts you can pull from your arsehole this time.

that... is a fact

[MDPopescu]

Fury is the champ, I agree. Joshua is the bigger draw in the UK though. Fury is a household name in the UK, no doubt about it, but when it comes to filling out arenas Joshua is miles ahead. Joshua sells out 80,000 tickets in less than an hour. By comparison Fury's rematch with Klitschko, in a 20,000 arena hadn't even sold out by the time the fight was cancelled weeks later.

Add to that the stack of top 10 contenders Joshua has beaten. 50/50 is as fair as it gets for this fight with the winner getting 60/40 in the rematch.

... well... OK, something like that...
