    The bodybuilder beat the blob Ruiz because he was morbidly out of shape, not because of Anthony's level of skill. The bodybuilder threw the kitchen sink at Majin Ruiz, but because he was out weighed by over 20lbs he couldn't even move that enormous fat sac. The bodybuilder Joshua rarely fights guys so much heavier than him and it showed when he couldn't out muscle the blob. Gypsy queen will use his enormous weight advantage and bully Joshua. Anthony's punch resistance is worse than Wilder's and I give him 4 rounds at the most to survive the violent mauling coming his way!

    This conversation is pointless...when will we all learn. Fury will beat him however he tells us he will do it...he had already said he will play with Joshua and will be extremely disappointed if AJ lands a single punch on him...I believe him....very easy effortless win for Fury in whatever style he says it will come (points if he says so or knockout if he says so)...it’s purely Fury’s choice how he does it and we won’t know what he decides upon until he tells us....very easy night for Fury.

    No way will Fury use those tactics against Joshua. Why give him the chance to get into the fight ? Fury will be on his toes making AJ chase him and switching direction to open the angles for his counters.

    I honestly think Fury will do whatever he wants in that fight

    AJ has been cracked and will never be the same guy that ran through his earlier opponents

    I think Fury gets the jab going early and from about rounds 3 or 4 walks AJ down and stops him in 7 or 8 rounds

    Tyson is on another level and with a decent trainer now, he will get even better

    Love him or hate him? He is the best fighter in the division

    I would pick this Fury to beat AJ even if he hadn't lost to Ruiz

    However, seeing how little heart/guts he showed that night, has convinced me that the Gyspy King will maul him

    Fury boosted his motivation for the second fight against Wilder. He ain't gonna be a tryhard against Joshua. Joshua will drop him, perhaps even KO him.

    He was beat up badly by a 41 y/o man for a few rounds and then wrecked by a fat Mexican, true.

    He still has a better chin and is more durable that most heavyweights in the top 10 including Wilder who couldn’t even take Fury’s jabs without his legs doing the jail rock dance.

    Fury would be dropped with an uppercut. He doesn’t have explosive inside power and is far easier to hit up close just ask Wallin.

    I personally think it does not matter what style they fight because they will both need to adapt during the fight. It might resemble Holmes vs Norton with a late knockout. I have believed for over 5 years AJ will knockout the Gypsy King though I need to double check he was born of his mother obviously.

    Think Fury would fight AJ the same way he fought Wlad.
