    This fight will probably never happen but if it did who would win?

    Need to see how they both perform in their fights over the next year or so before predicting how a fight between them would go, too many questions need answered for me. Will Tyson stay in shape and how much does he have left after the layoff and Wilder fight ?? Is AJ punching as hard as he used to and will he stay mentally motivated now that he's made his fortune ??

    Don’t think we will ever see it. And can’t really make a judgement until I see Fury in another high level fight. Need to see how he recovered from that knockdown from Wilder, the fact he turned down the rematch doesn’t sit well with me. Did it knock his confidence? Has it took a bit out of him? Maybe he will smash Schwartz and then another walk over and get confidence right back up and be fine. But right now I just don’t know.

    Fury stops him, he's a proper fighting man

    Who cares.
    If they do they do.
    If they don't they don't.

    IMO they won't because they are both only interested in fleecing the fans, with crap fights for large money.

    Whilst the lower level guys who slog there guts out and have proper fights for peanuts get a lift home if he is lucky...

    Just saying.

    Furys afraid just like he was afraid of Price at the time. He's like Khan being horrified of getting KO'd by a fellow brit.

    I think Fury outboxes AJ to win a clear UD. AJ is a better boxer than Wilder but he ain't quicker and doesn't punch harder. Fury took Wilder's hardest punches and recovered so AJ would have to land something special to keep Fury down.

    I believe Fury will only get quicker with each fight. IMO we're yet to see the best of Tyson because this is the first time in his whole career he's staying active and in shape. An overweight Fury outboxed and should've beat Wilder. I think a fit, active Fury has a great chance of outboxing AJ to a UD. He's only going to get harder to hit clean as the reflexes improve and his footwork will give AJ fits.

    Of course, it's no foregone conclusion either way. A great fight that needs to happen.

    Fury turns 31 pretty soon and has a style reliant on good reflexes and youthful legs. I personally don’t think the fight ever happens but if it does, I favour AJ more with every passing season

    Joshua breaks him down and gets to him eventually in a dog fight.

    I don't think I've ever heard of a fighter who relies on reflexes actually getting quicker with age.

    Fury has proven several times that he's not got the greatest chin and can be hit. Joshua is a better boxer than Wilder and a pretty clinical finisher. He doesn't need to hit harder if he still hits extremely hard anyway. Four times now that Fury has been nailed and dropped; I'd expect him to stink the place out if he fought Joshua which doesn't do his chances on the cards much cop either.

    Joshua after the Klitschko fight: "Fury where you at baby!!"
    Joshua after Fury beat Wilder: "I'm not interested in Fury because he has no belts."

    Fury already has his number.

    Does Wilder have Fury’s then seen as though Fury weren’t interested in a MANDATORY rematch.

    It is a joke that we've got the 2 top HW fighters in the world for the first time in history and we know they'll never fight.

    Yes, it's a triangle. Wilder has Fury's number > Fury has Joshua's > Joshua has Wilder's.
