    Imagine Joshua vs big John McDermott, that would be brutal. Fury got his arse kicked by big John even though he didn't get the decision.

    This type of nonsense comparison will get you in trouble. Fury was 19 years old back then fighting men professionally at British title level. Joshua was getting his arse handed to him by the likes of Dilian Whyte. Remember Fury is only a year older.

    But fury had boxed all his life and comes from a fighting family that puts them through the mill in nappies hell they even pull them out of school to learning fighting where as josh did not pick gloves up until he was 18 years of age so I would say the bar should be raised higher for Tyson

    He was still a teenager fighting men. How many other British champions have been that young? The fact that he struggled in the first fight is irrelevant to any future Joshua match or even CV comparisons.

    But it does not get away from the fact that when he fought big mc josh had not even tried on boxing gloves
    Does fury have a world championship ama medal does he have Olympic gold as he stepped up sooner than josh
    Josh is learning on the job fury will tell you no man born from his own mother can beat him and he as had a long old road to refine his craft
    I think fury gives josh alsorts of problems but what I put above cannot be denied

    Fairly close but Joshua has the better resume IMO.

    It is close and I think could be argued either way.
    I think Fury deserves the credit for beating Wlad when he was on a long undefeated streak as champ so would overall give it to Fury but thats only my opinion

    In trouble with whom? I don't think that you can compare resumes when fury got gifted a decision when he clearly lost against McDermott. Fury fought vinny maddalone in his 19th fight ffs.

    Fury could soon be irrelevant like Khan

    In trouble with anyone who actually understands boxing! Wow he fought Vinnie Maddalone his 19th fight. He was 22!!! It's not comparable to Joshua's 19th fight. Joshua could be brought along more quickly because he was fighting (winning & losing) to top amateurs. While Fury did have some amateur experience he still wasn't going to have a world title fight at 22. He had to have learning fights along the way. Fury being linear world champion at 26 years old proved they done it ok.

    Comparing where Joshua is in his 19th fight to Fury is brainless. They are basically the same age now and had Fury been in the right place mentally then he would be in front of Joshua. Joshua only has two belts because he got a freebie against Martin and they took the Klitchsko fight because they thought he was gone. The whole situation was created because of Fury. Tyson dealt with Klitchsko easily, in his back yard. Joshua was gone for all money in rounds 5/6 and arguably should have been behind on scorecards. Read into that what you want although I appreciate he got the job done in the end.

    There is **** all wrong with fury, he is conning anyone who believes he is ill. As for the fight with klitchsko, it absolutely stunk and fury fans claim it is the greatest performance in boxing history. I would compare his performance to a football team going to a away game and nicking a one nil win. Anyway Joshua will have his day with fury and its going to be a violent one sided demolition job.

    The hater has spoken.

    Downplaying AJ's achievements or making excuses for them.

    So AJ only fought Klitchko because Fury beat him in a awful terrible fight? The same AJ who can sell out arenas and huge ppv numbers vs anyone.

    Oh and in case you forgot fury pulled out of fighting Vlad twice. Twice he refused to rematch the guy you claim fury dealt with easily.
