    If Fury decides to come at AJ as aggressively as he did v Wilder could he knock AJ out? I feel Fury has the better chin and coul;d stop AJ using these tactics.

    Fury will have a harder task against AJ despite the fact that AJ cannot take a punch. AJ is a technically superior fighter than Wilder and Fury will be carefully as AJ knows how to make a combo with which he can finish his opponent...

    Fury would definitely fight differently against Joshua. Joshua's combos are good, and Fury wouldn't think of trading with that when he could outbox the plodding Joshua from range with little danger.

    if both showed up for a Safety First Jab and Grab Fiesta then Dances with the Stars will be a more entertaining fight to watch!

    The Wilder technique would not work on AJ, or anybody with any boxing fundamentals. The Wilder technique would only work on Wilder.

    AJ actually has definition in his legs and has been heavier than he currently is, so Fury wouldn't be able to drain him by leaning on him. AJ knows how to use his jab and knows how to fight going backwards so Fury wouldn't be able to barrage him as badly as he did Wilder. Fury was also getting tired himself, beating up Wilder. Wilder was never going to capitalise on it because he's **** and couldn't even raise his arms to defend himself, much less throw a counter. But again, someone who could box could.

    If Fury went 'toe to toe' with AJ, he'd get punched out and stopped

    Whatever it takes Fury would adapt. He has the blueprint to fight anyone. My thoughts are that he goes back to Klitschko spoiling tactics in this one.

    So AJ standing to trade with Andy Ruiz and he gets TKO'd. AJ standing to trade with Fury and he knocks him out? Yeah right.....

    AJ beats lard ass. AJ is overrated , but not as overrated as Fury is at the moment.

    I never said anything about trading, just push him back. Also yeah, a man who made that mistake the first time won't make it a second time

    How can he not take a punch? He has been down in two fights in his whole career, one was against an ATG puncher in Kltischko and then Ruiz who AJ recklessly attacked + Ruiz has very good power

    Fury will beat the snot out of Joshua.. he was afraid to engage with the short doughboy Andy Ruiz ffs.. he looked terrified at times.. imagine Tyson in front of him! Look at all the new 'jump ship to Joshua' accounts coming out of the wood work now LOL Joshua shat his pants twice against a guy who spent half his training camps eating snickers bars.. but he's gunna go to war with Fury now :lol:

    Well your definition of going toe to toe is different than mine then, that means trading to me. Your exact quote was "If Fury went 'toe to toe' with AJ, he'd get punched out and stopped".
    How would you define going toe to toe?

    You didn't even mention Dillian Whyte in that response, have you lost your way?
