Speaking for myself, I never felt that Joshua's punch resistance would prove faulty enough to keep him from winning titles and beating the vast majority of HW's around these days. I do believe that it will prove susceptible to Deontay Wilder's X factor, but that's hardly Joshua's hamartia alone. I would expect Fury to respond just as well, or better, if hit by Wlad as cleanly as Joshua was. But we can't really blame him for rolling with the Steelhammer right hand or evading it altogether (Joshua would ideally have wanted to do the same).
That was against Clean Abell. Hey maybe in his second comeback fight he'll get a chin full of Granat.
Ali was 6'2" 215 pounds Fury is 6'8" 260 pounds Ali's footwork was more impressive than his head or body movement. It's very rare to see ANY body movement from heavyweights.
got up on strong legs????lmao, he stumbled around like a drunk for two rounds. the only thing that saved him was laying his massive blubber on the small, shot, featherfisted cw.
he has a great chin. that is why he ducked any hw who had size and power, until his cash out fight with wlad. his ducks took up more than one hand. tony thompson, ustinov, price, etc. instead he called out world beaters like pajkic.
AJ's weakness: Stamina, footwork (big stiff idiot) Fury's Weakness: His massive balls Wilder's weakness: Can't box to save his life
I get what you're trying to say and realise it was only a handful of fights ago. But it was long ago time wise and he went on to fight at a much higher level which changes you as a fighter. I think it's hard to compare then and now.
Ustinov who is 41 years old and lost to Charr a guy who had his knees replaced? 50 year old Tony Thompson? Just because Wlad the robot struggled with him once? David glass chin Price Get out of here They arn't even worthy sparring partners.
ustinov that fury headed for the hills after he wouldn't scare. thompson that fury blatantly ducked after he cleaned price out.
they would have beaten them when he ducked, which is why he ducked. he has avoided guys with size and power like the plague. why? because his chin is pathetic.
