Hurt feelings are trying to downplay analysis from an all time great. Drugs have never interfered with Tyson's knowledge of boxing. Continue puffing herb and sucking on frog juice.

Not just Nigerians, but a whole lot of men and women in the UK and around the world.

AJ will be odds on to lose, but a victory for him would no doubt better for the world of boxing and continue to broaden its appeal.

Broaden what? Boxing is a joke right now. Guys like Logan or Jake Paul making big money off of joke fights and pulling better numbers than the serious fights in the sport. Nobody cares about boxing

Only slightly. Some of these guys were blown out quickly. Mike had a 2 year prime. Holyfield fails the drug tests. Tommy Morrison blown out. McCall crying against Lennox in 1997.

Again, 90's still isn't much better. all eras have their stand outs.

Stick the best of the 90's against the best of 2010's and 2020's against each other we'd have competitive fights.

The next crop coming over the next few years to replace AJ, Fury & co in 2025 will be interesting. Pretty sure Fury is going to dominate the next 3-4 years and easily cement himself as a top 10 ATG.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on that one.

Tyson Fury is the favorite and should win 'But Fury does get hit in all of his fights'.

Fury is going to be hit by Joshua, even if he drops down to 250 pounds and brings back his riddler style.

I’m trying to understand why this bloke thinks Joshua winning is better for the “world” of boxing????? Why? For what reason?

[Biolink]

Joshua is punching straighter and sharper than he ever has get of the pipe Mike.

Why are some of you sensitive. He literally complimented Joshua's punching technique. Joshua will always have that rigidity to his game that makes him predictable no matter how straight he punches. That's just his style.

[alexguiness]

If Fury can survive the first 3-4 rounds then he will pick Joshua off easily.

Joshua has a terrible gas tank and loses confidence if he can't put a guy away early.

[abracada]

Inb4 the AJ nutnuggers claiming that Mike doesn't know s*** about boxing.

I’m also back Fury against AJ.

A great defence always beats a good offence!

Fairly simple. Firstly, Fury is far more likely to go on an extended hiatus if he wins and has shown no interest in facing up and comers. He has already said he won’t fight Usyk for one.

Secondly, AJ just has more crossover appeal, whatever way you look at it. I’ve been to his stadium fights and I’ve genuinely never seen such a diverse crowd of people at a boxing fight, men and women alike - this can only be good for boxing.

Related to the 2nd point, AJ is just more marketable, which brings more money to rest of the division - just look at the millions that opponent’s have made of him. For all of Fury’s talents, he still struggles to put bums on seats and the cancellation of his December homecoming is evidence of that. With AJ at the top, more people get fed - it’s as simple as that.
