    I have to agree with this, but 1. Lightning doesn't usually strike twice, and 2. Joshua is much more of a 'hunter' as current Wlad.

    I don't think we really can judge yet just how good either fury or joshua are at this point.

    Joshua is a paper champ, until he proves otherwise.

    He and Young fury have had about the same level of opposition this far.

    It could be a damn interesting fight.

    That's all true but we have no idea if Joshua can cope with someone half-decent boxing and moving at all.

    Deew's post above is spot on.
    Both of them are almost completely unproven. An interesting fight.

    People do like to say "mismatch" a lot, especially about any heavyweight fight with a guy who can punch like AJ. Because often, those guys DO win with crushing KOs in 3 or 4 rounds. And then they can say "told you so".
    Actually though, Hughie Fury might prove a decent challenger.
    I mean, I suspect he's at least as good as Dillian Whyte and Dominic Breazeale.

    Not sold on Fury.

    AJ decks him.

    Joshua is not a "paper champ". He is capable to be the heir of Lennox Lewis, easily. I have to add that I am totally unbiased.

    joshua also isn't an almost forty year old, clearly in decline.

    Put Whyte literally to sleep, don't know how much more KO'd somebody can be.

    Haye apparently has a bad chin but went the distance against Wlad so that must mean Wlad power is 7.8, let's just say Joshua along with quite a few others have enough power to deal with any of the guys at the top today.

    Also Ali went down from a light HW in Cooper and then went on to take big shots from Shavers, Foreman, Fraiser and so on, not sure where your logic is coming from.

    Hughie is basically a smaller and greener version of tyson. Hughie would make aj look silly for a few rounds but would eventually get caught in my opinion.

    Hughie should wait a couple of years because with more experience and strength he could beat aj.

    Took seven rounds to put a nobody to sleep. They could be more KOd in rounds 1-6.

    Non sequitur. But whatever makes you happy.


    Why would we say that when its manifestly not true? Joshua's team has admitted twice that he is not ready for big Fury.


    Not everyone is Ali. In fact, there was only one, which is why he is called "the greatest." Most never show that kind of improvement. What the hell does someone's chin improving have to do with Joshua's power? Are you saying that Joshua's power will similarly improve? Maybe, but right now its 8.5

    A bit comical from a guy who has yet to post a coherent thought.

    Naw, his post was even ****pier than yours. But it made you feel good about your own demonstrably asinine post so you liked it.

    8.5

    Catchwtboxing, you are a very eloquent person, I suppose that you have very high IQ....But, you are wrong about AJ power. 10/10
