If you would have to bet your house on: Joshua, Fury or Wilder?

Joshua goes 0-2(1) probably. He has a punchers change against Wilder though but that's it.

 

Joshua.

Wilder cant box and AJ outboxes him all night, smashes him to bits imo.

He beats fury, yeh fury will outbox him at times but when he lands combinations he will beat him up and knock him out.

 

After the Wilder fight I think I'd be leaning towards Fury.

Fury clearly can take punches, I lean towards Wilder being the bigger puncher than Joshua and he's more likely to take risks to land them - he landed a huge pair of shots and even when hurt Fury shows he can roll with the best of them and recover, then come back firing.

That was a Fury who hadn't fought at that level in AGES, still probably effectively in recovery from a terrible couple of years - lots of guys, including AJ were frank that they thought Fury will be more dangerous after one or two more fights.... yet he managed that performance against Wilder.

My confidence isn't enormous but if I had to put everything into it, I feel like Fury has looked the least beatable.

 

Fury.

How can anyone ever back against the man.

 

If Fury's not at 100, Joshua might take it.

 

Wilder's won nearly as many fights as both of them put together.

And he's already put Fury on the deck twice on a night he clearly didn't fight his best. All Wilder has to do is start earlier and he probably takes Fury out. It's easier to survive when you go down hard in the last round rather than if you go down hard in the first. There are no more rounds to survive when you go down hard in the last and get up.

Wilder seems like a very safe bet.

Joshua seems scared of his shadow at this point. I wouldn't bet my house on him.

 

A punchers chance? You think wilder outboxes Joshua?

 

imagine him not f'ing up...Joshua and maybe Wilder(probably wouldn't take it) would just be other contenders now..He gave them a meal ticket losing his way !

 

Win or lose he doesn't go more than 6 against Joshua, i'd like it to go longer so they smack each other up but it don't happen. Joshua if he makes 12 against Wilder, isn't getting up from the right and left that dropped Tyson in the 12th imo !

 

If I had to bet my house on who is the worst poster on this forum... You'd be one of the leading contenders I'd be picking.

 

I'm struggling. A year or two ago I'd have gone Fury all day long. But after confirmation this month that Fury is what we suspected, a brilliant boxer but with a less than brilliant chin. But not only that has come into consideration. After seeing AJ against Povetkin, he's changed my mind. AJ was so patient, and the tactics were solid in that fight against Povetkin. He showed he could adapt to such a skilled and deadly opponent. Joshua showed he is no slouch when it comes to the boxing side of things. He has both sides of the game in his arsenal and neither Fury nor Wilder can claim they have the same.

I think Wilder is clearly 3rd. Wilder-Fury proved what we already knew basically. Both have major flaws. Joshua doesn't have 'major' flaws. Just minor ones.

And I honestly don't think Fury is that much better of a boxer than this version of AJ. The gap has closed, there's no doubt about it. I see Joshua-Fury as a total 50-50 now. I can see AJ winning on points, I really can. I can see all possibilties other than a Fury KO.

There is no longer a gulf between Fury and Joshua. I see AJ getting the KO early. Therefore, I lean towards Joshua out of the 3.

 

I hope Fury comes out on top, I really do.

But if I had to bet my house, it would be on Joshua.

 

That one stung!

 

I just don't think Joshua can take Wilders punches well.

 

Very tough question. Obviously Joshua is the safe bet. He’s disciplined, has ability, strength and power. I’d say he has far less talent than Fury and not the same equalising power as Wilder.

On ability - the answer is Fury. He’s the most talented by far. Can he keep Joshua off him for 12 rounds though?

I see it playing out like this.. I have a feeling if Wilder and Joshua meet that Wilder might KO him. Just a feeling I’ve got.. don’t think Joshua has the heart Fury has. I also think this fight happens first. If Joshua gets KO’d by Wilder I think he’d fall from grace pretty quickly and Fury would beat him easily.

Interesting times.. just hope they all fight each other within 2 years.
