We witnessed something special last night but fury will never get the credit because all the bull**** British press and the 90.000 thousand who fill Wembley for Joshua or as the lovers call him AJ can only talk about this manufactured heavyweight. If Joshua fought a goat he would still sell these stadiums out. Fury went to Germany and beat a great champion and made him look stupid. Then had his troubles and was out for near on 3 years but to come back after 2 pantomime fights and go to wilders back yard and in my eyes beat him is an amazing feat.realistically what really has Joshua done. He beat Charles Martin for the title haha . Then nearly got beat by klitscko. Think the British press and people should be ashamed of themselves this morning for not supporting this guy. I for one think he would make Joshua look stupid if they fought which I doubt will ever happen
I pick Fury to win But AJ will put far more consistent pressure on Fury compared to Wilder, AJ has more accurate punches, Wilder was missing wildly against Fury, but AJ might gass like Fury seemed to, I feel Wilder has bad stamina issues, he doesn`t do any roadwork.
I also pick him to beat Joshua. Joshua lacks the explosiveness and one punch power that gave Wilder a chance, and Fury has consistently proven himself at a higher level. People have been writing him off since the first Chisora fight. I remember when it was David Price overshadowing Fury and not AJ. Everyone and there Ma where picking Price to beat him until that all went tits up. Wouldn't be in the slightest bit competitive. Joshua has more facets to his game than Wilder, but I don't think he has the explosiveness to trouble Fury. Last night was the last time I'll pick against Fury. He's earned his spot as lineal champ and #1 in the division.
AJ`s punches are shorter, than Wilder`s so they travel a shorter distance making them harder to evade than Wilder`s long stance shots and AJ sets up punches more with his jab, he`s a better more consistent combo puncher than Wilder.
AJ is a different fighter then Wilder . he has more skills and has power in BOTH hands. he doesnt throw wide either . love to see AJ vs Fury.
Joshua, won't lose by a UD. Maybe by SD, but not out pointed that decisively. Even if Fury did win the majority of rounds. I think the bodybuilder will start putting pressure from round 9 ,and I can't see Fury surviving those last 3 rounds sadly. Tyson's punch resistance might have took a hit too from those 2 heavy knockdowns by the devastating bronze bomber. People going on that he'll improve. But Christmas is just around the corner, and you just know Fury will food and drinke binge at this festive season. That 3m the bomb squad generously paid into his bank, will encourage that.
Joshua would smash Fury, threads like this are redundant though as those two wont even fight him now possibly until 2020 unless they speed up their "rematch". Then again after Joshua beats Fury and Wilder his haters will just hang their hope on the next up and comer rinse and repeat "Joshua is a stiff bum he needs to beat so and so he is ducking".
I rank Joshua highly, but he is heavy handed not explosive in the way Haye or Wilder where. He's not as quick, but he has very good power all the same. It's the explosiveness that troubled Fury. Joshua would have a harder time catching Fury with a big shot imo.
Joshua is an accurate finisher as shown against Whyte, Wlad and Povetkin. None of this 17% success rate that Wilder showed today
