Great win by Joshua, but the top heavyweights are Wilder and Fury.

    Wilder is simply the most explosive heavyweight in the game. He is flexible steel and he's tall and thin, so he doesn't get tired. He has some defensive lapses and doesn't use criticism to fix his flaws, like his bow and arrow jab, but his athleticism keeps him out of trouble most of the time.

    In the future he will have to fix that.

    Fury is very fluid and mobile for a big man and would likely be able to outbox Joshua in the same manner that he outboxed Klitschko. Joshua and Klitschko are very similiar in their stylistic approaches, but Joshua is younger and a bit more bold and determined than Klitschko.

    Joshua won't be able to bully Fury because of Fury's size, and Fury has a variety of punches and would use his footwork and jab to make Joshua look big and slow, but Joshua has a lot of heart so he could potentially bully his way through, but I doubt it.

    Against Wilder, Joshua can attempt to bully his way through, but Wilder will hit him so hard that he will probably never try that move again. Wilder can punch and he has quick feet.

    The best fight in heavyweight boxing will be between Fury and Wilder.

    In all honesty, I believe that Washington was a more fluid fighter than either Joshua or Klitschko. Washington was one of the more highly skilled boxers I've seen in a long time at heavyweight. To be honest, I remember Wilder's power saving him out of that one, but Joshua and Klitschko would both look stiff and comparison.

    Both Wilder and Fury are highly underestimated on this board. I think Fury is a bit more polished boxer and obviously has more size than Wilder, but Wilder hits harder and is more athletic.

    Maybe, but its still hard to tell exactly how good Wilder is because he hasn't faced any of the top guys.

    An in shape and motivated Fury outboxes Joshua and embarrasses him after getting in Joshua's head ;)

    For some reason, this match has me salivating to see Wilder against AJ. Questions would be answered there.

    Wilder needs that Haye maker against Joshua but his stamina is much better. Fury is at another level

    Yeah but you were really confident Wlad would best AJ so we can't trust everything you say.

    The way you pick fights are simple. The color of someone's skin is the deciding factor to you.

    It's going to be at least 8 months to a year before we see fury back in the ring imo, so that makes him irrelevant in the division as of right now. The other top guys in the division are of course Wilder and Parker, and those are the fights Joshua should pursue sooner rather than later.

    Fury is a morbidly obese washed up drug addict and Wilder refuses to fight an elite opponent. Joshua was passed the torch tonight.

    He said Wlad was going to hook of the Jab and knock Joshua out, I didn't see any of that happen.
