    The same people who though Martin would do something against Joshua are the same people who think Fury would be easy work.

    What's shocking is, 2 **** fighters get to fight for a vacant title (Martin and ?). Take that title away and Martin was as as good as Cornish to me lol.

    Fury would give Joshua trouble. I see Joshua having trouble with only the big boys in the game. Possibly trouble with Wilder then again I don't think Wilder is great. Haye, Fury, Klitschko and most definitely Ortiz all will give him serious trouble.

    I think Joshua sparks Parker easy. Joshua needs to fight someone who can move well. I am glad he won.

    Right now Tyson and Haye too early for AJ.. But AJ coming along nicely, but let's not forget that IBF title he won last night was a paper title.. Fury in real terms should not have been stripped of that.. The IBF has become a joke now..

    There is a good chance that Fury would leave Joshua pizza faced after four rounds. Joshua was out jabbed by Whyte ffs, what chance in hell does he have of keeping Tyson's giant reach off of him. And when Joshua gets cut or his eye closes up, he won't be able to see Fury's hooks coming. It's an interesting fight and depends on whether Fury can keep out of range for 12 rounds because I don't think he could take Joshua's power.

    The best we've seen of Joshua is the Whyte fight.
    Last night's fight proved nothing, except that Martin was not a world class fighter.

    Joshua isn't ready for Fury, to be honest style wise I don't think he ever will.

    I disagree, they box a similar style in their respective weight classes. My point is that Fury has excellent shot selection, volume and stamina when on his game. Easily enough technical nouns to take the belt back.
    We know Fury owns that belt by right.

    We all know it's a paper title, but as a mandatory challenger Fury had no need to sign a rematch clause. The fact that has been ignored by the cult like Fury fans is hilarious. It's his fault he got stripped.

    I can categorically state that a mandatory challenger has no obligation to sign a rematch clause.

    I hope the Joshua hype train carries on like this.
    Apparently some of the UK bookies already have Joshua favourite to beat Fury if they clash this year.

    I'd love Fury to be the underdog when they meet. Definitely would put a lot of money down on him.

    The problem is, Fury has to get past Klitschko first.
    Wlad, even at 40, is a major challenge, more dangerous that most these youngsters.
    Wlad and Ortiz are the only guys out there who might beat Fury, and Fury won't fight Ortiz unless Ortiz gets a huge reputation. I suspect Ortiz will be frozen about by all the champs, he's too high risk for lowish rewards.

    I think there's more than just ortiz and wlad who might beat fury. Not saying I'd pick them over him but I'd give wilder, povetkin, pulev, haye, joshua, parker and a few others a chance to beat him.

    He's become ridiculously over rated since the wlad fight, people seem to have forgotten wlad was a walking punchbag basically.

    Fury is big and awkward with good head movement. That's about it, he doesn't have much power, chin is questionable plus his footwork is clumsy and he throws slaps and arm punches. AJ and many others will land a lot more than wlad did, just depends whether fury can take it.

    Hype trains tend to get derailed. In fact they all do.

    And the hype is super strong with this one.

    One fight against a top 20 opponent and now he runs through everyone in a couple of rounds.

    Fury would take Joshua into deep waters and drown him.
